A few people had questions about sweets/etc so I am going to try and clarify a few things

1. Exercise- get your heart rate up; work out video, running, walking, biking etc.  (you get 3 days OFF)
2. Vegetables- make sure you read the links provided in the post below.  2 cups of leafy green like lettuce or spinach equals 1 "cup" or one serving.  Otherwise most other veggies are equivalent, ie a cup of cut up peppers = 1 "cup" or serving.  You need to have at least 3 "cups" of veggies everyday and 2 "cups" of fruit.  Most fruit is equivalent but dried fruit, like raisins, 1/2 cup= 1 serving.  Again read the post below with the links if you have questions.
3.  Sweets, if it tastes too sweet then it probably is, unless it is plain fruit :)  Any cookies, candy, cake, soda etc is considered a sweet.  As a guideline when we played before we said anything with more than 10g of sugar per serving was considered a sweet.  Hopefully that clarifies, again email me if you have questions. (You get 1 day OFF)
4. Water and night time snacking are self explanatory
5. Bedtime point.  You need to determine a bed time before we begin Monday and tell your team.  You cannot change your bedtime during the game. You want to shoot for 7 hours of sleep each night. (You get 2 nights OFF)
6. Healthy habit can be anything.  You also determine this at the beginning of the game and tell your team.  You cannot change it during the game.  Pick something that will challenge you.  Mine is going to be reading my scriptures everyday. (A habit I lost after having Oliver)
7.  Lastly you need to be in contact with your team everyday to help motivate etc!  My dad and I had a running email that worked out great, and it also keeps you accountable :)
8.  Bonus points for turning your points in on time.  The time cut off  is going to be midnight each monday, some of you are on the west coast so basically it needs to be in my email TUESDAY MORNING when I wake up which could be at any time.  I will not be lenient with these bonus points so please get your points in on time.

*Important*  I am using this blog from Shauna who ran this game the last couple of times.  I am able to post to the blog but I can't update the layout or the links on the side.  So far they are NOT updated.  So please don't refer to them at this time.  I will let you know when it changes.  As of now you will have to  EMAIL me your points and not use the report points link on the side.  I also emailed all of you an excel sheet to keep track of your points, let me know if you didn't get it!

Ok that is all for now, again if you have any questions or concerns send me an email at aprilnewman@gmail.com!
