So as incentive to get healthy, we are embarking on the Fatty Get Skinny Couples Challenge (our own creation), beginning tomorrow. The rules are as follows, but in essence points are gained for exercise and lost for food infractions. The challenge runs until September 9th, when we will all celebrate at Hy's Steakhouse. The losing couple pays for 40% of the bill; 4th place couple pays for 35% of the bill, 3rd place couple pays for 25% of the bill, and the first and second place couples split the tip!
Activities resulting in point accumulation
- Exercise (0.5-4.0 points per activity, depending on duration and type) (I can send you the details if you're interested)
- At end of competition, additional points will be awarded for weight loss at a rate of 1 point for every 2% of initial body weight lost.
Violations resulting in 1 point loss per 'incident'
- Deep fried foods
- Refined sugar
- Dessert
- White flour products
- White rice products
- Pasta
- More than 1 whole grain bread product, and or any whole grain product consumed after 2pm (ie – one serving of whole grain bread product allowed per day before 2pm)
- Consuming alcohol between Sunday 5pm-Friday 5pm
- Smoking cigarettes or cigars (1 point per cigarette/cigar..none of us smoke so no biggie)
- Eating after dinner (fruit and vegetables permitted)
Let me know if you want the Excel point tracking sheet I created and you can start your own competition!
