Aaaaaaaaaaand we're off!!!

Thanks to everybody who came by the house this morning to weigh-in and have fun. We actually have more participants than I thought we would! More the merrier.

Final Prizes are, of course, based on the number of participants and we had enough sign up to do the following:

1st Prize- $350
2nd Prize- $225
3rd Prize- $125

Those numbers are definitely exciting enough to keep us all motivated.

WEEKLY CHALLENGE

Speaking of prizes, we will be having a drawing each Saturday for everyone who completes the weekly challenge in order to win small fitness related prizes.

This week's challenge will be NUTRITION.

• Go to http://www.choosemyplate.gov/myplate/index.aspx
• Input your information
• Select "To gradually move toward a healthier weight?"
• Follow the Daily Recommended Amounts of each food type every day.

That's it!

For me, the daily amounts were: 

Grains-         10 ounces

Vegetables- 3.5 cups

Fruits-         2.5 cups

Dairy-         3 cups

Protein Foods- 7 ounces

I'm sure yours will vary. Good luck! I'll see you on Saturday!
