Week 5 Points

Almost there everyone!

1st: DAD! 700
2nd: Olivia 689
3rd: Em and Russ and Mom 685
6th: Matt 683
7th: Kristal 680
8th: Scott 502

And hey... we were all thinking over here that maybe once 'The Challenge' has ended, we simplify it and keep going! Just because we have all been doing so much better here, and having something to keep the competition up would be great!

My thoughts: We cut out everything except food points and exercise (and maybe the physical goal). Just to simplify, not because those things aren't important and we shouldn't keep doing them. But then I was thinking with the sweets, I like having something there that makes me think 'is that REALLY worth losing points?' but, I think that once we've 'cleansed' for 8 weeks, we can have a little break. So what I was thinking is that if you eat sweets one day, you only lost 1 point, as opposed to 5. We could also cut down the amount of points received for exercising and the goal, so that it's more proportionate.

What are your thoughts? I might just be changing the things that I want changed... not for the best interest of the group!

*Don't forget the baseball throw this week. And next week I was thinking of suggesting to mom, for the physical mini challenge, who can hold the plank longest... and this time I think we should do it on skype, so we can be challenged by each other*

And hey, I have a question, does everyone have a public pool nearby that they could swim in for relatively cheap? (I'm not talking buying a season pass, but just a couple times) Matt and my problem with coming up with a challenge is that so many things are eliminated.... push-ups, pull-ups, running, biking, so we're just having a hard time coming up with something. (Plus, we want we want to do something physical so we can slay all of you). Let me know if you can get to a pool. (not if you want to, if you CAN)

Mini Challenges

Okay, new idea. Couples are going to be in charge of coming up with a mini challenge for an assigned week. In between, we'll (mom, dad, Matt and me) come up with some type of physical challenge. I think that if everyone is in charge of one, then everyone can come up with something that they think they can win... that way it's balanced!

Remember, Russ can't do push-ups or pull-ups, so don't include those in your challenge. Any volunteers to go first? If anyone chooses to opt out of assigning a week, then the challenge in it's place will be who can run the fastest 5k (I think that should be sufficient motivation:))

The challenge can be ANYTHING! I know Olivia suggested memorizing something (so no one else can take that if she wants it).

Oh, and mom doesn't know what her points are, but she said dads were 485.
