A few points about me and this challenge

• I didn't invent this challenge... I used ideas from other people.  I have fine tuned the habits to be incorporated into any fitness level and phase of life... college students, pregnant women, working women, body builders, stay at home moms, grandmas... The level you take things to is up to you.

• Every one of these habits is tried and true.  Nothing weird, hokey or controversial.  They are consistent with current understandings of body science.  

• I have been moderating this challenge for over 4 years and have won it 3 times.  

• I dont take a fee for moderating this contest.  The only fee payed to anyone is minimal and goes to paypal combined with the entrance fee for making it easy to collect and transfer funds.

• I moderate this challenge for motivation and accountability.  I believe keeping a 'tool bag' of motivators to help me achieve and maintain my fitness goals.  My genetics put me in a high risk category for heart disease... after losing a beloved brother at 44 and never knowing a set of grandparents, because they both died of heart attacks in their 50's I am offensively fighting heart disease with these habits.  My children share my genetics and my risks and they learn lifestyle habits from me.  

• A jewel I have found through moderating this contest is when others are successful in reclaiming their health.  It strokes the feel goods in my heart to know that I had something to do with helping someone else raise their sword and yell CHARGE in the fight against diseases related to lifestyle (which are many). 

I moderate this contest for the goodness of my heart.  No one makes a dime except for the winners!  I like it this way.  I plan to keep it this way.  You have nothing to lose and much to gain.  

Next Contest Begins...

Thanksgiving Challenge...

Is it evil to start a challenge the week of Halloween?  Maybe, but do you know what is more evil?  The Reeses Peanut butter cups that whisper to me from the pantry at night.  Time to take back my control!  Who is with me?  If you are go to the bottom of this page and send in your entry fee via the paypal link. The date of the contest is October 28th through November 21st.  We will knock off a few days at the end and end the day before Thanksgiving.

Get ready the next challenge starts on September 16th and ends October 13th.  The day before Columbus day.

Labor Day Challenge 2013

Hello Healthies!  Thanks for checking back in.  The next contest starts August 5th and ends September 1st... Thats why I call it the Labor Day CHALLENGE, Allenge, allenge..... (you know like an echo...)  Anywho!  Read the rules carefully as one has slightly changed... Over the past couple of years that I have been organizing this challenge I have really struggled with one thing... (besides exercising every day, keeping a food journal and yada yada yada) I have found that if I deprive myself of all treats I end up having dreams and visions of candy and sugar plums... dipped in chocolate and deep fried whaoo... Dont stop there baby!  While I would like to be at a point with my health goals that treats and junk food dont tempt me, the true habit I would like to form is one of moderation.  One where I can be satisfied, truly satisfied by a little something here and there.  Hence the change... I have changed the point you get for no sweets or junk food to: One point for staying on your plan.  So what is your plan?  Some healthies may shoot for staying below a certain caloric goal, some healthies may choose a food plan that cuts treats out altogether, and some healthies may choose a food plan that allows you to have a taste of the dark side once in a while.  You still have to write these treats down in your food journal and you still need to keep in control when you are enjoying them... If you bake cookies and you decide to allow yourself a cookie, enjoy it! But if you find yourself locked in the pantry licking the last of the cookie dough from the bowl and your realize that none of the dough actually existed long enough to become a cookie... Not only do you need your hands spanked with a spatula and you lose your point too. If you want to sign up for the challenge there is a paypal link at the bottom of this blog.  As soon as I get your payment I will enter you on the spreadsheet and you are in! Email me if you have any questions...

Next contest starts June 10th and ends July 7th.
