Daily Self Esteem Challenge
Food
You must follow your meal plan (smd, shd, or whatever) or stay within your calorie range everyday! If you stay on your plan and eat within your daily range of calories give yourself 2 points. If you go over, but not by much, 1 point. If you have a bad day 0 points. (Since I am fasting if I go water only I get 2 points, if I have liquids, i.e. juice, then i only get 1 point. If I happened to have a bite of anything solid I get zero points.)
Water:
If you have 64+ ounces, 2 points. 32-64 is 1 point, and less than 32 is 0. Any de-caffeinnated beverage with 0 calories counts as water, but you can only use stuff other than actual water (diet Sprite, Crystal Light, decaf tea) for 24 ounces of your daily total. Just think of how great your skin is going to look after ALL that water.. no more pimples..no more zits..
Exercise:
If you work out for 30 minutes or more, 2 points. 20-29 minutes, 1 point. Less than 20 minutes, 0 points. It's unrealistic to expect us to work out every day, so you get a "Get out of exercise free" card to use once a week.
Post:
This one's an all-or-nothing. You have to post every day about how you did on the challenge. If you do it, you get 2 points, if not, you don't get any.
Self Esteem Challenge:
This is where it gets fun. Every day of the week, there's a special daily challenge that you get to select. If you do it, you get 2 points, if you don't do one, you get 0. Challenge points are the only points that you can make up later, though.
--Monday Challenge: Celebrate Me! Give yourself a facial, take a bubble bath, get a few minutes to yourself, etc. Do something to make yourself feel good.
--Tuesday Challenge: Procrastinator's Anonymous: Everyone has something they're putting off--this is your chance to finally DO it.
--Wednesday Challenge: Random Act of Kindness Day. Commit a random act of kindness--give a compliment, be polite to a telemarketer, donate to charity--anything as long as it's nice!
--Thursday Challenge: Try It, You'll Like it! Do a new exercise, make a new recipe that looks good--expand your horizons!
--Friday Challenge: Fun Day! Blow bubbles, go to a movie, dance, be silly, have fun!
--Saturday Challenge: Cleaning out the Cobwebs: Clean something in your house that needs it.
--Sunday Challenge: This is a make-up day for all your other challenge days. If you missed a challenge, do it on Sunday. If not, just plan for the next week and take it easy.
If you eat a little extra food, you can exercise extra to make up for the food points. 30 minutes for every 150 calories. You have to decide if it's worth it.
In your daily post, make sure you post your numbers. Your first number is the number of days you've been in the challenge, the second is the pounds you've lost and the third is the total number of points you've earned on the challenge so far. So if you've been on the plan for 7 days, you've lost 1.5 pounds and you have gotten 68 points, you'd just post 7/1.5/68. Also, tell us about your daily self esteem challenge.. let us know how you loved yourself today! Most of the time ana-life is so negative.. take a 28 day break and do good things for yourself every day.. and earn 2 points!
Saftey Clause::::THIS IS SERIOUS
The Day(s) of Amnesty..If you are having a bad day..weak..tired..getting ill.. STOP take the day off.. Eat "normally" and get yourself together. You get 10 points for recognizing your body's signals.. If you don't feel good about taking 10 points for being sick..remember that SUNDAY is make up day! :)) We wanna keep this safe. I want everyone to have 10 point days!

There we go. By the way another rule I am adding, the point of this is to go for 28-days, and keep track of points/weight/whatever. There were a lot of people last year that if they messed up would just start over like "i had a bad day, I am starting all over again." NO! you are not aloud to do that. The point is to go a whole month straight in order to be able to see and keep track of your results. So lets get to it all you ladies and lads!
So my goals are less than 600 cals a day daily workouts with josie and on my own according to 30 day make over and the only change i am making is i will continue to drink my coffee and juice =]
so today i guess is day 1. 6 points. i am feeling much more optimistic about this than the starve yourself diet i was trying to go on. I am just not cut out for full on starvation yet. But 300 ish cals a day will be fine =]
