Steve and I have said from the beginning...we don't need to win by points, we have already won with the opportunities for change we have already learned!! Winning would be a bonus. We have learned SO much!
The official last day of The Challenge is November 12th, "they" will begin tallying points on Monday the 14th. Points again are earned by the whole family by exercising 3 days per week (I am proud to say Steve and I exercised 6 days each week). Wyatt said it was a mere 42 days...yeah. But it seemed like a lot to us! Our bodies are just starting to be convinced this is a new way of life. Points are also achieved as the whole family meets the 3 set dietary goals (ours were--5-A Day, NuVal scoring for the first half of the challenge but then we began to try to achieve 3 dairy servings per day, and lastly the dreaded food journals! I have to say now that the actual recording is a very eye opening experience. Keeps me honest and thinking. What I disliked was maintaining and checking on 6 other family members who also had to record. Busy work. But again, it makes you accountable and definitely more conscious of what is going in. More points for submission of photos (pre, during, and post). Anyone that knows me I have photos! Ask and you shall receive. I will post the after photos later this week. And somewhere in all of this earning of points Steve and I's results will factor in...exact numbers coming with those numbers!
