“Almost all of us struggle with our bodies,  no matter what our size.  The game is not only about getting fit, it’s about getting healthy….”

I’ve been exercising, trying to eat right and still haven’t seen many results….it’s annoying and frustrating.

But I may have finally found something that sounds like it could work…and it sounds fun at the same time.

Interested?? You can join me!

Here’s the quick and dirty…go get this book, “The Game On Diet” by Krista Vernoff.

If you’re thinking to yourself…that name sounds familiar…it’s because she’s the Executive Producer of Grey’s Anatomy.  Do you love Grey’s? Do you love the humor and writing? Then you’ll love this book.  Sidenote: I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with more F-bombs…it’s awesome!  It also comes with a good price $14.99!

Anyway- we are organizing a team.  Details will depend on how many people are interested.

Here’s the gist:

Object: To score as many points as possible.  Team with the most points wins.

How to play: Game is played for four consecutive weeks.  Each player must use a sheet to tally pointers per week.  Each week, the point tallies must be reported to the team’s scorekeeper.

Keeping Score:

A perfect day is worth 100 points.  A perfect day includes:

30 Meal Points: You earn 6 points per meal for eating five fully sanctioned meals.  No snacks between meals.

20 Exercise Points: You earn your exercise points by doing some form of exercise for 20 minutes per day.

10 Water Points: You warn your water points by drinking three liters of water per day.

15 Sleep Points: You earn your sleep points by sleeping for a minimum of seven hours a night.

20 Transformation Points: You earn 10 points a day for practicing one healthy new habit and another 10 points a day for eliminating one unhealthy old habit.

5 Communication Points: You earn your communication points by being in contact with at least one teammate and at least one opponent each day. (Phone, email, texting counts!)

Each week, each player gets one meal off.
They will also get one day off.
The meal off and day off may be taken at any time during a given week.
They may NOT be saved and carried over into other weeks.

Bonus Points:

You can also earn a 10-point bonus each week by turning in your scores to your team’s scorekeeper by a designated time.
In addition, each week, a bonus equaling 20 percent of your points earned for the week is awarded for losing 1 percent of your body weight.

Penalties:

Snacking Penalty= -10 Points
Collusion Penalty= -20 Points (If any player suggests to any other player a compromise of integrity.)
Alcohol Penalty= -25 Points (Points taken off per portion of alcohol.  A portion consists of any amount of alcohol up to 6 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor.  One portion of alcohol may be consumed with the meal off without penalty.  Alcohol may be consumed freely on the day off.)

Interested? Game will begin on Monday, October 19th….email me: JenCook76@mail.com
