Points and Rules
>> Friday, January 28, 2011
All contestants will need to donate $15 dollars to the pot to be involved. Send it to Diana this time.
Healthy and correctly proportioned Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner- 1 pt. for each meal.
(this means one serving only, and well balanced. Use your best judgement)
Two Healthy Snacks a Day- 1 pt.
(Try to avoid processed foods. Stick with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products. )
1 Multi Vitamin - 1pt.
( This is very important as the foods we eat this day and age just don't have the sufficient amount of Vit. and minerals we need for daily intake. If you don't take a multi. now you will see a significant difference in the way you feel.)
Exercise at least 30 min. a day - 2 pts.
(This is an additional point because we know it can be the hardest. It probably gives you the best results as far as feeling "healthy")
Drink 2 ltrs. Of Water or 67 oz. - 1 pt.
( Any liquids that you take count toward your water intake. For example: a protein shake, or 100% juice, or even milk.)
No Sugar- 2 pts.
Essentially this means NO SWEETS! Cookies, candy, soda, etc.
you can have sugar if it is in small amounts that already contain sugar like bread, and lightly sweetened cereal. Don't blatantly put it on your things that is against the rules. Use honey instead. I've found that it actually tastes better. We are giving it 2 pts. So it will be worth not spoiling your day over just 1 pt.
No Caffeine- 1 pt.
no soda, coffee, energy drinks. It's just bad for you and addictive.
No food 2 hrs. before Bed- 1pt.
At the end of the day all of your body's systems need a break from performing their functions. Like your digestive system. Your metabolism also slows down at night making it harder for your body to burn fat.
Remember... this isn't about weight loss. Although you might see results in that area. It's all about living a better life style and feeling "Healthy"
Good luck everyone! I'm really excited. If you have questions don't be afraid to make a comment or post!
you can also email. Remember the Challenge starts Feb. 1st and goes through Mar.1st.
