Welcome to Healthy Habits!

My name is CC (short for Christina) and I will be your Healthy Habits coach for BL 11. I love the BL challenges and Healthy Habits has helped me significantly in achieving many of my goals.

Some Background Information: Thanks to donac (Dona-hostess of Team Donald) and jenanderson for their amazing help so I know how to coach! I couldn’t do this without seeing them in action previously. I will be continuing the prizes that Jen started.

Here’s How Healthy Habits Works: Each week there will be 3 Healthy Habits (HH) to complete. The first two HHs will always be drinking water and exercising. (Note: The amount and time will increase throughout the challenge!) At the end of each week, you will tally up the number of points you earned for the week and send me a private message with your total. Here’s an example. For Week 1, the 3 HHs are drink Six 8 oz. glasses of water a day, exercise a minimum of 20 minutes per day, and eat at least 3 servings of vegetables a day. If on 4 days you get in all 3 HHs, you would report your points like this:

4/6 days of drinking water
4/6 days of exercising
4/6 days of eating veggies

Your total points (ex: 12/18) AND your team name should be in the subject of your PM.

This is a team competition. On/about Tuesday evening, I will post the week’s results. I will share the number of participants on each team and the top scorers on each team. New for BL 11: I will also list the people who earned 7/7 on one or more of the HHs for the week. If you participated on the team with the most participants, you will be entered into a drawing for the week's prize. Each prize will have something to do with the 3rd Healthy Habit for the week. I will post the winner and ask that you PM me your contact information. (Please Note: If you do not wish to be entered into the drawing, please let me know in your PM. I understand people’s WISHes for privacy.)

Participation in Healthy Habits is entirely optional, but I encourage you to participate and help your team be on top for the week. Good luck on your journey and I hope that HHs helps you as much as it continues to help me!

Welcome to Health Habits Week 9

Week 9 is 2/25-3/3.

This week's 3 Healthy Habits are:
1) Drink Eight 8 oz. glasses of water.
2) Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes a day.
3) Journal you food.*

*Journaling is something that is very important for many of us so it's back for another week. I encourage you to journal infomation like PointsPlus, calories, fat, etc., but even just writing down every bite you had that day is great!

At the end of the week, please PM me your points. I will post the results on/about Tuesday. Don't forget, this is a team competition!

Remember, every participant counts, regardless of the number of points you earn!

If you have any questions, please free to ask!

P.S. Week 7 Result shoul be up shorly, unless I fall asleep first.

Hi Nancy! We are so glad to have you join us. Please join Team Mickey. You can pm tigger813 your starting weight along with your TEAM NAME and a goal if you have one. Regular weigh-in days are on Fridays. When you pm your weight to Tracey, always include your team name. Jump onto Team Mickey and introduce yourself when you get a chance.

We got back last night at midnight. I was very tired today at work. Yesterday my foot was very tender and my calf was killing me. I actually iced it before we left for the airport, cause it was so uncomfortable. I wore the inserts all day yesterday, and today things are feeling much better. Just a little sore, so hoping to get a couple of miles in on Sunday, but only if things are still feeling good. We chat on the BL princess thread, so come join us if you'd like.

ATTENTION: Big Changes Coming!!!

Ok, only little changes, but hopefully I got your attention.

We will be merging the threads on Friday, March 25th. What does this mean? Well basically it means that we will no longer be reporting statistics for teams. This includes, HH, WIN and weekly weigh-ins. You will continue to send your team name in with your numbers, because it will make it easier for our record keepers to find you. Coaching and QOTD will be run from the main thread and I will only be updating the main thread.

This is the first time in a while that we have done a BL Team Challenge. We decided to do a Team Challenge because we have such a large number of participants at the beginning of the year. As the temps continue to warm-up things will slow down. I realize that the thread will be busy at first, and for that reason, folks are welcome to continue to chat on their team threads if they would rather, but we strongly encourage everyone to move to the main thread. We will only be running one thread this summer.

Thank you to tggrrstarr (Kelli) for volunteering to coach the first week. She was scheduled to coach for Team Mickey, and since we had no one signed up to coach for Team Donald, we decided to merge a week early.

I have the following coaching spots available. Please send me a PM if you are interested. I am really excited about merging, and being able to catch up with some old friends and make some new ones. As always, if you have any questions, please send me a pm.

Welcome to Healthy Habits Week 10!

Please read carefully. There are a few surprises this week!

My name is CC (short for Christina) and I will be your Healthy Habits coach for BL 11. I love the BL challenges and Healthy Habits has helped me significantly in achieving many of my goals.

Some Background Information: Thanks to donac (Dona-hostess of Team Donald) and jenanderson for their amazing help so I know how to coach! I couldn’t do this without seeing them in action previously. I will be continuing the prizes that Jen started.

Here’s How Healthy Habits Works for Week 10: This week, there will be 5 Healthy Habits (HH) to complete. The first two HHs will still be drinking water and exercising. The next 3 are below. At the end of each week, you will tally up the number of points you earned for the week and send me a private message with your total. There are 35 possible points for Week 10.

Your total points (ex: 12/18) AND your team name should be in the subject of your PM.

This is a team competition. On/about Tuesday evening, I will post the week’s results. I will share the number of participants on each team and the top scorers on each team. New for BL 11: I will also list the people who earned 7/7 on one or more of the HHs for the week. If you participated on the team with the most participants, you will be entered into a drawing for the week's prize. Each prize will have something to do with the 3rd Healthy Habit for the week. I will post the 3 winners and ask that they PM me their contact information. (Please Note: If you do not wish to be entered into the drawing, please let me know in your PM. I understand people’s WISHes for privacy.)

Special for Week 10: All participants on both teams who earn 35/35 points will be entered into a drawing for the 4th prize.

Participation in Healthy Habits is entirely optional, but I encourage you to participate and help your team be on top for the week. Good luck on your journey and I hope that HHs helps you as much as it continues to help me!

Hi, I would like to join you all in getting fit. I finished the princess last weekend, and looking at my pics, I need to work on my body more than just running. I need to eat healthy to loose weight and looking for support. I will PM who I need to with the required info. The support on this board for the race was so amazing thinking it is a great one for helping me achieve a goal of getting more fit and losing some weight..though really, want to lose inches!

THANKS!

Julie

Mind having another join the fray?

I do have a wee question: should I PM the weight I started at a couple weeks ago, or what it was the last time I weighed myself or today's weight?

PM me today's weight or start fresh on Friday! We have weekly weigh ins every Friday.

Rose will be with you later to assign a team and then you can send me your team name with your weight. Always include your team name as I have the spreadsheets separated by team.

Welcome to the FUN!

 

[poochie]

Tigger, what calculation do you use to figure the weight loss percentile? I would like to keep one for myself on the side since I first started. It is more of a yeah me feel good chart for my frige.
I plan on putting it right next to my picture of me before I started.
