More details! I know this is LONG. But, it contains
important information so you know how this will work.
1.
You need some positive feedback for this
challenge-so you can see how your healthy choices are benefiting you! This
isn’t a requirement but it’s REALLY motivating and will make it easier to keep
up your goals after the challenge is complete. Here are some ideas for positive
feedback:
a.
Measure yourself tomorrow/today, at the halfway
mark, and at the end!
b.
Take a picture of yourself tomorrow/today, at
the halfway mark, and at the end!
c.
Download an app or set aside a journal where you
record your times, feelings, weights, reps, etc. For me, this is one of the
most motivating and encouraging parts of exercising. You can be as detailed or
as general as you want. But, if you are recording how you do, how you feel, etc
you are more likely to recognize how you are improving and notice how much
better you feel if you are writing it down. I really like to use the app
“RunKeeper” because it tells me my distance, my time, lets me take a picture (I
don’t do that often.), and lets me take notes. I like to look back and see how far I’ve come and I often
push myself harder so I can beat my times or I will work harder to go a longer
distance. I have done this for walking, biking, running, and hiking. My husband does it for rock climbing. There
are a lot of apps, or a simple notebook would be great too!
d.
These are just a couple of ideas, figure out a
way to track your progress-a scale is great but there are many other ways that
provide motivating, positive feedback about your healthy choices that will keep
you going! If you aren’t sure what you can do, let me know and we will
brainstorm together.

On Monday, June 8th by 10:00 AM PST I
need to get your initial weigh in and your money. Each person who
wants to be eligible to win the cash prize money at the end needs to contribute
$20. I am not charging anything to keep the records and be in charge, it will all
go towards the winners! Speaking of positive feedback-money is very positive! J
a.
For your weigh ins: I need you to text me, at
970-685-1132. What I need is a picture of your toes on the scale so I can see
the number. Also, the first time you text me, make sure you text me your name
just to be sure I have all the numbers saved! (NOTE: I won’t talk about or relay to anyone-not even my husband-what
your weight is. I realize that is very personal!)
2.
Print the tracking sheet I will provide or come
up with your own way to track your daily points and add up your weekly totals. However you decide to do it, keep track
of all the points you earn every day. If you are looking at it daily and
keeping your points, you are more likely to remember all the categories and be
more successful!
3.
After your initial weigh in, every Monday
following, including on August 3rd-I’ll need a picture of your toes
on the scale AND your total weekly points. You don’t need to add them up week
to week-I will keep track of that. Just send me the points you earned that
week. I need your texts by 10:00
AM PST.
4.
On every Monday afternoon following the initial
weigh in, I will post on both the blog: www.csloatfitness.blogspot.com
and on the Facebook page the results for that week! I will post the % weight
loss for each person and list them in order. Half way through the challenge, I will list in order, where
everybody is at with points.
5.
This is an online support/challenge group-please
check the blog or the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/850441185043216/ on Mondays. Starting with week 3, I will be
posting helpful info, and bonus challenges -which will allow you to earn extra
points! I want everybody to get the hang of the challenge and meeting all the
daily requirements to earn your points before I add anything.
6.
Finally, there are NO stupid questions. Please
message me or text me with an questions or concerns you have-ANY!

Congrats-you read this whole thing! Way to go!
