Healthy Challenge

I just started an 8 week healthy challenge with my mom and sisters on Tuesday, and it came at a good time! We've been wanting to be more healthy, but sugar is so yummy that we've been having a hard time finding the motivation. Looking for some motivation? Here are the rules we are going by:

3 pts: Stop eating before 9 pm
3 pts: 2 Fruit Servings (1/2 cup each)
5 pts: 3 Vegetable Servings (1/2 cup each except leafy greens are 1 cup each)
5 pts: No Sweets/Sugary Treats (only 6 days a week)
5 pts: Keep a Food Journal
5 pts: 30 min. exercise OR 7 pts: 45 min. exercise (only 5 days a week)
1 pt: connect with team member 3 PTA: drink 64 oz of water daily TOTAL POINTS: (205 possible for the week) I am loving this! I forgot how motivating it is to eat good things when you have to write down what you eat. Especially if you are using a calorie counter. I recommend the app My Fitness Pal. Also, I was drinking way too little water and I feel better now that I've changed that simple thing.  I just thought I would share because I've been wanting something to motivate me for quite a while now and this is the thing to do it. Good luck anyone else who decides to try it! (Oh and if your still on the fence about it, I've lost 3 pounds since we started!)
