****New weekly diet challenge: In addition to your 5 fruits and vegetables and 64 oz of water, NO FRIED FOODS for a week! Sounds easy enough but there are probably a lot more fried foods out there than you think. Get er done and have a great week!

Reminder: This is the last week of the Biweekly Situp Challenge. You have until Saturday at midnight to get in as many situps as you can. Get to it!
The first thing you should do when you get up in the morning is…
1. Make sure you’ve paid your entry fee
2. Weigh in and use your tape measure along with the following website to calculate your body fat percentage.

3. Think about how you’re going to win this competition!
You do not have to post your body fat percentage if you do not feel comfortable doing so. You can also just email me personally at marcoberroya@gmail.com. I will collect everyone’s data.
Start the week off right and get that first workout in!
BONUS: Biweekly challenge = Most # of situps.
Start hitting those situps and make sure to remember to log how many you do each day. At the end of 2 weeks, we’ll see who has the most.
Post your workouts to the Fitness Log posted on this site.
All I need is…

Rules for the Fitness Challenge for Dollars Competition.
This is a 6 week trial period that starts on November 1st and ends on December 12th.
Requirements:
1. $50 entry fee
2. Tape Measure
3. Scale
We will start out on November 1st by calculating your body fat index via this website…
http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html
By the end of the day, you must email me your calculated body fat percentage. We will have a midway checkpoint as well as a final measure at the end of the competition.
Each week you will have a chance to earn $5 (6 weeks x $5 = $30) of your $50 entry fee back.
The remaining $20 from each participant will go into the final pot. At the end of the 5 weeks whoever has gone down in body fat percentage the most will win the additional pot.
Here’s how you can win your $30 back:
For every day that you work out you earn $1.00 of your money back for up to $4.00 a week.
Each workout must consist of at least 45 minutes of constant activity.
**Shopping for 45 minutes at the mall DOES NOT COUNT.
You have the ability to earn a bonus $1.00 each week for controlling your diet. All you have to do is make sure you eat a total of at least 5 fruits and vegetables and drink 64 oz of water a day. That’s it! Anything above and beyond that is all on you. We want to make it achievable but at least make you think about what you’re consuming.
Each week, we’ll also make other suggestions like no fried food for a week, or no carbs for a week.
There will also be a contest every 2 weeks for some extra bonus earnings. ie. most miles in 2 weeks, most stairs in 2 weeks, etc.
Weeks START on Saturday and END on Sunday.
This entire competition is based on the Honor system. If you record days that you really didn’t work out, you’re really only cheating yourself. You will be expected to login and check this blog somewhat regularly to do the following…
1. Record your workouts
2. Continue to stay motivated through other people’s success stories
3. Make suggestions for bi-weekly challenges
When you record your workouts please answer the following under the correct weekly posting…
Date:
1. Activity:
2. Actual Time and Duration:
3. Approximate Calorie Consumption
Please let me know if anyone has any questions. Good Luck!
