Summer Points Challenge!

The Summer Points Challenge will last 10 weeks and there are 11 points you can earn each day:

240 minutes exercise a week
If you workout 6 days a week then it’s 40 min a day, or if you exercise 4 days a week for an hour then you would reach the goal. You can do it in any time combination you want to get to 240 minutes. Sunday is a blackout day.
No Soda
No diet, aspartame, carbonation.
No Sweets
No desserts, ice cream, cake, cookies, candy, chocolate, you get the idea, right? This does have some “shady” areas. I myself don’t consider sugary cereal a “sweet”, but others might. Use your good judgment. ***You will get one “FREE” day a week for Soda, Sweets, OR Fried Foods!! Your free day can be on any day, but you only get ONE day a week. So you CAN’T have a soda Monday, sweets Tuesday, and fried food Wednesday. Example: You CAN have just sweets on Sunday for that week, then the next week you could have soda just on Sunday, then the following week fried food on one day of the week. If you don’t care for soda or fried foods but you crave sweets then you can have sweets once a week without it counting against you. Make sense?
No Fried Foods
No chips, corn dogs, chicken nuggets, French fries, etc. You can have baked chips!
Daily Vitamin
Any vitamin will do!
8 cups water
8-8 oz. (64 oz) of water a day. Keep hydrated in the summer.
6 hours sleep
If kids wake you up in the middle of the night it doesn’t count against your hours. 6 hours is counted from the time you get in bed to the time you get up!
5 servings fruits/veggies
5 servings of fruits and vegetables combined. I will have examples of serving sizes.
10 min. Scriptures
It can be reading the Ensign too!
Morning & Evening Prayers
Yes, you have to get both. J
Personal Goal
This can be whatever you want! My goal might be to do a load of laundry every day Monday-Sat and then write in my journal on Sundays. It needs to be a daily goal and the goal needs to last for at least 5 weeks. If you want to, you can change your goal for the second 5 weeks.

Reward/Party
We will be starting Monday, June 13^th. The challenge will last 10 weeks ending August 21^st. At the end of the challenge we will have an “Accessory Auction”. Everyone participating in the challenge will bring accessories (purses, bags, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, scarves, hair clips, embellishments, etc.). They can be new or used. If everyone brings items that would total about a $20 value then hopefully everyone would be able to walk away with something.

If you would like to participate, email me BEFORE the 13^th of June! If you want to you can email me your personal goal, but you don’t have to. I always feel more accountable for things when I tell someone, but it’s up to you. I’ll send you more details and charts to keep track of your points. If you know anyone that might be interested please feel free to forward this to them.

Thanks,
Heidi Terry
