Modification Suggestion for the Excercise Rule

Even though I'm not in the running for first place, I'm really enjoying the healthy challenge.  I know that I've done WAY better on the challenge than living completely unrestricted.  I'm kind of obsessed with the rules and making them better so I have an idea for the Exercise rule. (for round 2 of course)

20 minutes a day for 6 days during the week, 2 points each day = 12 points (total minutes 120)
OR
30 minutes a day for 4 days during the week, 3 points each day =  12 points (total minutes 120)
You would be able to choose week to week which schedule you wanted to follow.

This would make my life easier. Just an idea. Let me know the pro's and cons or if this even makes sense.

Christy's Points for week 2

Some things were easier this week and some things were harder. I got 72 points. Exercise is hard for me, but it is helping to have an exercise buddy (Thanks, Diana!). As the second week passes, I realize how addicted to sugar I was. Now that I haven't had it, except on free days, I am a lot less interested in eating it. I am also exited about the 4.5 pounds I have lost so far.

week 2 Nick and Alena

Alena: 40
Nick: 61

Nick ran the 1/2 marathon in 2 hrs. I think it's approx. 14 miles. Isn't that awesome? I'm inspired. This guy has been running every day. If only I could get him to take a multi vitamin! He's got 10-11 points EVERY DAY. He's the man!

Alena said that she's had an unhealthy snack and sugar almost everyday but, she has no problem with the exercise. I'm the complete opposite. I can't stand to exercise but I can stay away from the sugar a lot better.

Keep on Keeping on!
2 more weeks!

week 2 MaryEllen and MOrley

MaryEllen: 64
Morley: 54

MaryEllen wanted to count frozen yogurt as a healthy snack! HA! I shot that one down. FYI frozen yogurt is NOT HEALTHY!. It's packed full of sugar. Just because it has the word yogurt in it doesn't mean it's good for you. Speaking of which.... a yogurt sounds AMAZING right now.

Mark and Maria - Week 2

So, I can't blame my bad week on having company because I still struggled the 2nd half of the week after they left. I think me and Diana should get a free point each day for being pregnant. Just kidding...kind of.  Diana seems to be doing just fine. I want to do better. I know I'm capable. I just need to dig deep.

struggles

WHY is everyone doing so much better than me? I feel like I'm trying oh so hard which makes me feel like you guys that are doing so well are cheating. Are you?
so... My points for the week are 67. I just got home from my 20 min. power walk. I did it just now (10pm) it felt great outside and I didn't have to lug any chillins with me.

I'm not sure what Nick got we still have to tally him up. I'll post it tomorrow when I have Mom and Dads and Alenas.
