On your mark.........get set........

CHALLENGE!!!!

We will start this challenge on MONDAY, AUGUST 9th and will go for 12 weeks, ending on Halloween, OCTOBER 31st. You must pay a contribution of $10 by SATURDAY, AUGUST 7th. This money will be used as prize money for the challenger(s) with the most points and a raffle for challengers who receive at least 65% of their points (complete an average of 8 of the 12 daily goals).

Once you've paid your dues, please email a picture and quote (90 characters or less) to THEHUTCHINGSFIVE@GMAIL.COM. Your picture and quote will be posted on the left side bar of the blog with your total points added up every week. We will add your email address as an author of this blog, so that you can come in and post your weekly scores.

Rules of the CHALLENGE

You have a total of 12 points per day. You must keep track of all your points on your own. There is a link on the right side bar that will take you to a weekly spreadsheet with a breakdown of the points to make it easier to keep track. Just print the spreadsheet and hang it somewhere that will always remind you to do good! Then, every SUNDAY, type a post with your total for the week and anything you would like to share about your experience. Your total points will then be added up by the Challenge coordinators (myself and my daughter, Jamie) and added to your total under your picture.

You have one free point, PER CATEGORY, PER WEEK. One free point for exercise, one free point for soda/unhealthy drinks, one free point for sweets, etc. You do not have 12 free points to use however you choose -they are NOT interchangeable and if you choose not to use a free point in a category, it is gone at weeks end. You could also just choose to have one "free" day where all points are free (which is less confusing), but we are allowing for flexibility and success!

We have provided you with some links on the right side of this blog to help with some of your goals. My Fitness Pal is an online site that is FREE and has a daily journal, calorie counting and ideas for exercise. Readthescriptures.com will help you keep track of your daily scripture reading and will send quotes and scripture references to your email. Please take advantage of these sites that we hope will both inspire and motivate you throughout this challenge.

We are excited to start this journey with you and can't wait to hear about all your experiences!
