I am April (aka Baby Girl) and I have a wonderful mother (Peri), and two lovely sisters, (Diana and Rebecca). We have decided to take part in a one month challenge/diet/life change process called The Game On Diet. It's from a book and basically in order to reach our goals (which are all different) we try to earn points daily by living healthy. I wont go too much into the background, but I wanted to make the ground rules clear.
There are two teams:
- Dayuuuuuum Girls: Peri (Mombot) and April
- RubDiana: Diana and Rebecca
Object of
the Game: To score as many points as
possible. At the end of the game, the
team with the most points wins!
Prize: Each person on the winning team earns a $50 gift card to some clothing store so they can purchase a new outfit for their hot new bods.
Keeping Score
Scoring is
kept on the honors system. It’s not
about guilt or feeling bad if you don’t get all the points possible, it’s a
guide to keep you motivated and a scaffold to set new habits. You keep track on
the spreadsheet that is available when you google it. Each week, turn it into the designated scorekeeper. Only the
team cumulative point score is shared.
A perfect day
is worth 100 points. A perfect day
includes:
·
30 meal points. You earn 6 points per each of the five,
sanctioned meal times – you can use their recommended meal ideas or a diet plan
of your own. If your diet plan is different from five meals, yet you follow
your diet’s rules, then you get full points. No snacks between meals unless
they are cucumber slices or celery. Here’s the link to their food management
plan: http://www.thegameondiet.com/templates/tgod/images/food_chart-5-1.pdf
·
20 exercise points. You earn your exercise points by doing some
form of exercise for 20 minutes per day.
·
10 water points. You earn your water points by drinking three
liters of water per day
·
15 sleep points. You earn your sleep points by sleeping for a
minimum of seven hours a night.
·
20 transformation points. You earn 10 points a day for practicing a new
healthy habit and another 10 points for eliminating one unhealthy old habit.
·
5 communication points. You earn your communication points by being
in contact with at least one teammate and one opponent each day.
Exceptions
Each week,
each player gets one meal off in addition to one day off. The meal off and day off may be taken at any
time during a given week. They may not
be saved and carried over in later weeks.
Your day off
includes a respite from all rules. This
respite may be spread throughout the week (i.e. Monday can be your water day
off, Tuesday can be your baits day off, Wednesday can be your sleep day off,
etc; or you can take one whole day off from everything and still record your
points.).
Bonus Points
You can also
earn a 10-point bonus each week by turning in your scores to your team’s
scorekeeper by a designated time (e.g. noon on Monday).
In addition,
each week, a bonus equaling 20 percent of your points earned for the week is
awarded for losing one percent of your body weight. (Note:
if weight loss is not a goal for you, you must set yourself a fitness
goal for which you will win your bonus points and inform your teammates and
opponents in advance of beginning the game).
Penalties
There is a
10-point snacking penalty for snacking between meals.
There is a
20-point collusion penalty. If any
player suggests to any other player a compromise of integrity, e.g. saying to
an opponent, “If I eat a snack and you
eat a snack, then we both lost points and it all balances out!” the player
suggestion the compromise loses 20 points.
There is a
25-point per portion alcohol penalty. A
portion equals any amount of alcohol up to 6 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer,
or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor. One
portion of alcohol may be consumed freely on the day off.
Tie-Breakers
In the
unlikely case of a tie, the game goes to the team with the highest number of
100-point days.
Thank you April for posting this. I am excited for this challenge!
