Sorry it is late this week! You get freebie points for the weekly challenge today! So if you watched TV today, you don't have to deduct points.
Weekly Challenge: No TV. At all. This includes movies and shows online, too. We are making an exemption for those of you who do workouts on an exercise video like P90X, etc.

Week 4
Weekly Challenge: We had a lot of feedback that writing down everything you ate for the mystery challenge last week was really helpful, so we decided to make it the weekly challenge this week! Grab a notebook, set it on your kitchen counter or take it with you, and just write down everything you eat. You don't have to be exact, just estimate. You might be surprised at the end of the day how long the list gets...
Mystery Challenge: Get familiar with mypyramid.gov. Click on this link, fill in the info, and find out what your caloric intake should be each day. It is a pretty cool website! (We will probably use information as to what you recommended daily intake should be and the my pyramid tracker in a future challenge, so you might want to check it out while you're on the website.)

The Beginning
A friend of ours gave us this idea after his sister organized a fitness challenge for their family. Jared and I felt like we needed to make some changes in our home, so we decided to get this going! Right now there are 20 of us participating! We just finished up Week 3 and three of the participants have lost over 10 lbs and many have lost around 5 or so. It has been such a great thing for us that we thought we better share this with more people!
