Hey y'all!
Hopefully, you have done better than I have since the last health challenge. If not, lets do a quick informal challenge before Murph. I am going to start tomorrow, and try to keep it going until my beach trip this summer (with a break for my golf trip). Our focus will be health and wellness, so that includes the gym AND the kitchen. We will not do a weigh-in, but you may want to weigh for your own progress monitoring. We will have a scoring system, like last time, but no money prize.
More details will come out soon, but the basic scoring system will be: positive/negative points for following a diet for each meal, points for attending classes at the gym, and points for extra challenges at the gym.
Our suggestion is that you follow the Zone or Paleo diet, but we are open to others. The basic prescription: Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
Here are some resources for fun reading:
