The Goal

Our goal every week is to earn 50 points.  However, each week it's possible to earn a total of 56 points.  That means there are 6 freebie points per week ('cuz we all need a little "wiggle room" to keep us from getting discouraged).  Use your freebie points however you'd like but once there gone, there gone! Points don't carry over from week to week.

How to Earn Points

1 point per day- At least 30 min of exercise daily
We have one "rest day" a week where we get our exercise point without breaking a sweat. 

1 point per day- 5 servings of fruits/veggies daily

1 point per day- 50 oz of water daily
Water only. No other drinks, including flavored water, count for the 50 ounces.

1 point per day- No sugar/soda
Use your own discretion on this one.  Things like cookies, cake, candies and other junk food are out.  There are other generally healthy foods that have sugar in them (i.e. whole wheat bread, yogurt, etc).  You decide how strict you want to be about those things.

Before you decide not to enter the challenge because of this one, let me fill you in on a little secret; no sugar is going to be hard for 99.9% of the people reading this.  But the whole point of this challenge is making better, healthier habits.  Some of you may decide its worth it to sacrafice a no sugar point once a week and give yourself one day a week to indulge your sweet tooth  Whatever works for you is fine, but hopefully, we'll be more conscious of our food choices and that will help us choose more healthy food, more of the time. 

1 point per day- No eating after 8 PM nightly

1 point per day- Brush and floss teeth
Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once.

1 point per day- 7 hours of sleep

1 point per day- Personal point
Here's where you can be creative.  Set a personal goal and reward yourself for it!

Total possible points per day = 8 points
