Points


This guy ROCKS!


Happy Healthiday Challenge

Here is the point system that we will use for the Healthiday Challenge. Please copy and paste it into a Word document, print it off and wallpaper it all over your kitchen. I want everyone to get serious about this and jump in with two feet. No balancing on the fence. Don't start this challenge wondering if you'll finish it or if you'll really do it...that sinks. Just do it!


Before getting started, I need everyone to email me/comment (this will remain confidential) their WEIGHT, HEIGHT, WAIST/THIGH/BICEPS MEASUREMENTS.

Everyone also needs to pick a healthy eating plan. If you like Weight Watchers, South Beach, whatever....email/comment what plan you will be following. You can make your own, and I RECOMMEND this, using the mypyramid website, check it out. To make a plan on this site, start with My Pyramid Plan. I love the menu planner!

So on the daily points, if we have, for example, 2 cups of veggies is that 2 points or do we just get 1 point/day associated with veggies, fruits, water etc.? (sorry if that is a dumb question).

Kelly said...

Kim,

that would be 1 point per serving...you'd BETTER be eating more than one serving...so for each serving a point...hum...2 servings = 2 points/3 servings = 3 points and so on

Man, I want to but I don't know how to keep track of all of this stuff! yowza. However, I used to track my food on mypyramid so I am inspired to get that started. This is very tempting....but who am I kidding?
