Point System and Rules

Let´s Get Crunching! 

Many of you you have asked again about the points. I am glad for all the ideas and comments. This will only help you all in the long run, so please do not hestitate to ask. 

3/30 Day Challenges
1st- Sept 23 - Oct. 22
2nd- Oct. 23 - Nov 21
3rd- Nov. 22 - Dec. 20

Each month the lady with the most points will receive a 10$ Gift Certificate to her favorite online store. If more ladies sign up, there will be more surprise gifts. (Sign-up on the top right side bar.) 

Point System -  Print it out the spread sheet here

20 min. consecutive high heart rate exercise = 1 point/ 3pt max.

2 liters/quarts of water or 1/2 your body weight in oz. = 1 point
HEP = 1 point (Healthy Eating Plan) -1 for any food not in your HEP

Posting = 1 point ( 4 posts max. per week)
1 pound lost = 1 points (.5 kilo 1 point)

1 inch lost = 1 points (2cm = 1point)

Learn how to measure HERE

Exercise!!! - Yes, it very important in my opinion. We get 1 point for every 20 minutes of consecutive high heart rate exercise. (Stretching must be done at the end and does not count this time.) No stopping in the middle. 

 This includes any exercise which raises your heart rate. Casual walking and house cleaning are not included. Also, stop and go sports like volleyball and softball for example do not raise your heart rate for long enough periods of time. I recommend increments of 20 minutes with 5 minutes of stretching at the end. (stretching does not count in the 20 minutes) 

The reason for the maximum limit is so that we are doing more intense workouts. I recomend a mixture of weight training and cardio workouts. Mike Chang´s six pack short cuts and Jillian Michael´s videos (all on You Tube) are excellent for this. You may do walking videos and pilates or yoga, but they must be continual and without a lot of resting. The key is purposeful exercise to burn calories and tone our muscles. Toned muscles burn fat and increase metabolism! 

HEP - Healthy Eating Plan - followed = 1 pt You should post   what your HEP will be for accountability in your first post.  If you keep to your HEP each day, it is 1 point! If you blow it, you just don´t count that point for the day. ** One Free day is allowed and counts as your HEP point.

Example- 

My HEP: 
No White flour foods
No White Sugar foods 
Add in Whole Wheat foods in small proportions
No Fried foods
1 plate of fruits and veggies combined a day. 

Posts/ Participation -  This is my favorite part of the challenge. I love all the interaction and encouragement! Most importantly, we uplift one another to be the best we can be. I believe that we were made by a Creator who wants us to serve Him with all that we have. When we post inspiration and what we are learning, we are helping each other to reach our goals!

Posts and Journaling

 You may choose one of 4 ways:

1- E-mail your journal to me, 
2- post on our private FB page 
3 -blog on your own blog linking to Faith Fitness and Fun blog. (must let me know)
4- blog directly on our  Faith Fitness and Fun blog. (must be invited)

Your introduction post for the first week should include-  Info about yourself, a picture, goals, definitely your HEP, and maybe measurements if you want to share. 

 Post/ Journaling Ideas - 

-Some post their measurments as a first journal post. 

- Post about your exercise for the last couple of days.

-Post about your food choices.

You are allowed two tips a week. They may fall under diet tips, fitness tips, humor about fitness and diet, and inspirational tips. The lables are in the label section in the blog editor if you are blogging. 

**You are only allowed 4 posts a week for points but, you may post more. They just do not count for points.**

**We must post point totals at least once a week to qualify for the prizes, unless other wise explained.**

If you still have not signed up you can do so at any time. Just hop in with the points where you can or wait until the beginning of the next month. You can dontate $5 to compete for prizes ( button is on the top right) or comment below to follow along for support.

SPRING IN-2-SHAPE III

Hi, ladies, 

It´s time to start our third anual Spring In-2- Shape Fitness Challenge!

This Challenge will have two phases each for 30 days. We will keep a running total for the first 30 days then start the points over. I want to see if the shorter challenge will keep us all motivated more. After the first 30 days, we can add more ladies, too, if more get interested.

***Many of you are returning, but for some of you, you are still wondering what this challenge is all about. I will try to explain as briefly as possible, but if you are new to blogging and our challenges please, read everything carefully. It will be worth it all.  There will be some changes from the previous challenges as well.

We use a point system. It is a fun way to stay motivated and see results. The point system contains many options.  Read them carefully as there are some new ones added.

Point System explained :

S2SIII will consist of several catagories for possible points. This levels the playing field. It allows for those who don´t have as much to lose the opportunity to stay in shape, maintain and do great; as well as motivates those who need to lose more weight.  Please, use the attatched spread sheet  SPRING IN2 SPAPE III starting March 14 to keep track of your points as well as tickers on the blog to see your progress, if you would like.  *** For those tracking on Facebook and not using tickers on the blog must include- a total of your points on each journal. ***

These are the catagories. Please feel free to choose the ones you can accomplish. If you are not able to do all of the catagories, work your way up to them. There are no half points. Just know that you are making progress and getting better each day. The more you can accomplish the more disciplined you are becoming.

• 20 minutes exercise (continuous) = 1 point Must be continuous constant heart elevating activity.

Fast walking, constant sport activity, swimming, biking, running, house cleaning maybe included if it is constant large areas of mopping, vacuuming, or sweeping. (please don´t count standing time unless you are stretching.) Stretching may only be 5 min. out of the 20 min.

***For health reasons you may write me and let me know your condition and your activity level.***

• 1 pound lost (1/2 kilo) =  5  points

• 1/2 inch lost (1 cm) = 1 point

• 2 liters of water drank daily =  max. 2 points

• 1 Journal post = 1 point (max 4 per week) New option - May be on the blog or on Facebook. If you have not been invited to our private FB page or to the blog please let me know.

• 1 tip = 1 Point (max 2 per week) topics include : exercise ideas, diet tips and recipes, inspirational, humor, and videos (health and fitness related) Must be on blog but, you may let us know on FB too.

• Healthy Eating PLAN (HEP) = 1 point new option - This includes following a healthy eating plan. If you have set one already for yourself, and you follow it you get this point. Please post your plan. - If you don´t have a plan... OUR plan is - NO white, processed sugar foods, NO white flour processed foods,  No fried foods, ADD one plate of fruits and Veggies.

***One "OOOPS day" is allowed and you may still count this point*** "ooops day" includes a day you accidentally put something in your mouth you shouldn´t have or didn´t intend to. This is not a free day! -

*** FREE DAYS do not count for your HEP point***

Yes, I highly recommend measuring. It is an incredible way to track your progress. Often, when you start a fitness program, discouragement sets in because the scales are not moving. Well, when you take measurements, you can track your loss in volume more accurately, and this is normally the first place we notice loss. Attatched is a "how to measure" guide.

Measure Wednesday morning.

S2SIII Start Up Journal Post -

Getting to know each other is always a huge bonus in doing a challenge. I would love for each of you to write a Start up Journal Post. 

10 point bonus for your first introductory post- which will automatically show up on your tickers. (place it in your post section of the spread sheet)

***Introductory post must be posted durning the first week to count for the bonus points.

Please include some information about yourself, and what some of your goals are for this 10 week challenge. Your HEP and your exercise choices.

1. You may wish to include a recent photo, so you can see before and after differences.
2. If you have been on other of our challenges you may wish to tell us about your fitness journey. We would be so encouraged by that.
3. For blog posts Please label all your posts. Labels are found at the bottom of your post editor on the blog.  Under "show all labels"- Place your name, and S2SIII(if it is a journal post) and the appropriate tip option, diet tip, fitness tip, humor, inspirational or video.

This first start up journal post should be labeled as follows: your name, S2SIII, and testimonies.  (again these are found under the show all labels at the bottom of the post editor)

Your start up journal may be done on Facebook if you choose.

We will be allowed a maximum of 4 journal posts a week and 2 tips a week. The tips may be about diet, fitness, fitness and diet humor, inspirational(verses), and/or a video of you working out. This is not mandatory, but you can get a maximum of 6 points a week for your posts. (ie. participation)

I will send out another e mail regarding tickers (point trackers)

Ok, if you have made it this far, you are ready to get SPRINGING IN - 2 - SHAPE!!!

Please, don´t get bogged down with the blog. If you have questions, don´t hesitate to write me or chat with me. danijoy2spain@gmail.com , msn chat- dani2spain@hotmail.com, or on the fitness blog itself http://www.faithfitnessandfun.blogspot.com/ also below this e- mail is how to get set up on the blog.

With all that said, If you think that the blogging will be too much, I have come up with another way. You may e mail your journals to me. I will copy and paste them into the blog. You may keep track of your points on paper and tell me the points weekly, as well. This is only for those who can not figure out the blog.

Also, you may just audit the whole point system and writing posts to just do your own thing, being encouraged by reading others journals on the blog. ( not elidgible for prizes)

Let´s make Ephesians 6:10 our theme verse.

"My bretheren, (or sisters) BE STRONG in the LORD and in the power of His might."

Dani´s Journal 8 - CCCIII End of Week 5

WRITE!!!!

We need to write so that we can get the extra comment points. ;) haha.. well, anyway.. We start NIX the FIX tomorrow.

One point for every healthy food choice. Max. 12 points per day. 
Negative 2 points every bite of bad sugar, bad carbohydrate, or Fried food. (natural fats are ok) 


If you are unable to get whole wheat pastas, breads or high fiber carbs, you can allow yourself one portion of "white" carbs without points. 


Allow one free day with no bonus points and no negative points.


Write nix points in the bonus section of spread sheet with water points.


All other points are the same. Water, exercise, lbs, inches, posts. 


Now for my journal. I haven´t been losing weight, but I haven´t gained. I think I have gained a lot of muscle weight. I think this is what is happening. I am replacing the fat with muscle. I can see the muscle now. I will measure tomorrow.

My plan of acction this week, drink more water, cut out more carbohydrates, eat more protien, eat less at night.

Let´s push it hard to the end. We have 4 weeks left till Christmas!!

Dani Joy

Officially on a Break but not Stopping.

Hey, I owe an appology, especially to Sarah D. I have not been posting my points like I said I was going to. I have been so busy with the renovating of the new church building, I didn´t even turn on my lap top all week. 


We are still exercising though. Doing the Ripped in 30 dvd, walking tons, and a variation of step and Jillian exercises I have learned. 


We are so looking forward to the next challenge! Even if you have reached your goal and just want to maintain, even if you  you just want to tone up, or you have to lose a lot, the Christmas Crunch Challenge is for you. We are going to be doing it all! Tell your friends, and sisters. The more who get involed, the more fun. 


Remember it´s for God´s glory. 


Your FFF moderator,
Dani Joy

Keep On Going!

Hey all!

We got to go swimming together.
 It´s been pretty cold though and
 we have only gotten to go twice. 

How are you all doing? How is your summer going? 


Our summer challenge has ended, but I have shifted into high gear. 


I challenge you to 30 minutes a day for 30 days of circuit strength and cardio training. I am doing the Ripped in 30 by Jillian Michaels plus walking and time outdoors. 


I will be counting points until September 25. Then a 2 day break to get ready for our

CHRISTMAS CRUNCH CHALLENGE III
Sept. 28 - Dec. 21 2011

Let´s tell all the ladies we know about it. :) 

Sweating it for discipline and good health for the Glory of God,

Exclusive Summer Challenge

Sweatin Off the Fat Exclusive

Summer Challenge

2011

Only those who are signed up already on our blog and have tickers may participate in this exclusive Summer Challenge -  SOFII

We will start Wednesday May 4 - July 27!

12 weeks! 

Are we ready???

If you have already posted about yourself, you don´t need to do a testimony post. Just a measurement post with our beginning measurements. If they are the same as last post than just re-post them for your SOFII first post.

All points are the same as in the Spring Challenge.

20 exercise minutes = 1 point

1 lb = 5 points

1 Kilo = 10 points

1 inch = 2 points

1cm = 1point
2 liters/quarts of water = 2 points

1post = 1point ( 4 posts possible per week: 2 journals and 2 tips - diet, fitness, humor, video, or inspirational)

Here is my idea for prizes. We can do it or not.

Everyone sends me $1 by Pay Pal . This goes into an account. Then we divide it by 3 for the three winners. What do you think? We can vote on it. Or Those who want to help out with the prizes may, or we can also just vote not to have prizes.

My paypal account is danijoy2spain@gmail.com.

If at least 30 want to participate, that would make it $10 for each winner. I think this would even motivate us all a little more.

These are just ideas I have had or that some have given me. I would like to try them at one point.

Please respond with a comment if you will be participating or with any ideas you may have.
I will also send this out tonight by e mail.

I need this too!

Startin to Sweat already,

Dani´s last Springy Journal

Hey there, ladies, we made it! 

You all did an awesome job! Way to keep with it and be consistant. Here I am with Sharla G.

She came up to visit her husband´s family, and they came to our church! It was so great to see her after almost 8 years. She hasn´t changed! She keeps exercising and eating well to not gain and to stay healthy. She is an inspiration. Thank you, Sharla, for coming to see us and for being such a great testimony in the area of taking care of ourselves. 

 Next, I got to see Maribel. She never ceases to amaze me! 

She too, eats healthy and keeps exercising. I have known her for over 11 years and she hasn´t changed! 

I think she might be a little more daring and crazy though since she has met me. ( or maybe she has always been that way too. jeje) We seem to have this affect on each other. We even did Jillian Michael´s Burpies in the cafeteria! Go, Maribel! 

Ok, so our pet Reese the guinnea pig wasn´t in on our challenge, but she too does some great exercise and eats a very healthy diet of fruits and veggies. 

Here I am after the challenge.

 I lost a few, gained a few. I really wanted to do a bit better but, without you all I would definately not be as encouraged to keep maintaining my weight and fitness journey. 

I lost several inches and a few pounds in total. Ok.. I didn´t do a final measure because, we were not home. But, I know I lost. ;) 

 I played a lot of basketball and football with the guys. It kind of reminded me of the olden days when I was a little girl playing with the neighborhood boys.

I had an idea about the next challenge. I thought, why not just keep right on without a break? 

I thought we could just put all the tickers to 0, Go back to the original points and keep right on. 

What do you all think?

Only those who have been on this challenge can go on to the next one,  an exclusive 

Summer Workout Series.

Any ideas?

Dani Joy

Bonus!

I meant to tell you all our last week bonus points! Well, they were suppose to be a surprise anyway. lol

4 hours of Exercise = 10 extra points


Final post = 10 extra points - It is the only way you can be considered for the prizes. You have until Friday April 29th to get them posted. But POINTS END Wednesday at 12 am your time. I will announce the winners Saturday on the blog. (my time)

10 EXTRA POINTS - FOR EVERY POUND YOU LOST THIS LAST WEEK! (CAN´T BE PAST LBS YOU RE-LOST)

Ok... Spring to the End but don´t stop Springing there. ;)

Dani Joy

Signing / Walking / Packing / Bonus Points

What do all these have in common? I did all this today and I am giving you BONUS POINTS.

Today we signed on our new church building! It is ours for 10 years! That´s a long time, but we have such a peace. Both Joseph and I had some nerves going up to the signing. Once it was done, however, we both felt an overwhelming sense of peace throughout the day without knowing the other was feeling the same. It was a huge blessing and gift from God to know both of us at different times today received peace from God! So special!

Then we did all this walking, lifting and packing. I was going to exercise tonight, but you know when I started to think about all the work I did, I think I can count an hour of exercise. I really am off my normal exercise routines but am making sure I am getting an hour in of fast walking or something.

Now... Drum Roll----....---- 

BONUS POINTS!

Add 10 points for exercising 4 hours or more this week!

I may do this again next week, and  I may not. jeje I know there will be some other kinds of bonus points for those that finish out to the end of our challenge. Stick with your Springing! You can do all things through Christ!

Even though we end our Challenge next Wednesday the 27, and that will be the last day to measure and get points, I hope that you won´t end your personal fitness journey there. I hope that you will continue to challenge yourselves to be the best you can be.

Spring it hard this last week, we don´t know who really is going to win. I will look at total points, total pounds lost, total inches lost, exercise and participation.

I will let you know of the bonus points for the last week very soon.

Springing it with ya,

Dani Joy

Keep it Alive - WEEK 5

Wednesday, March 16, 2011 
WEEK 5 -  Keep it Alive! 


A note from the moderator - 

I did "keep it alive" bonus week in our last challenge but, we are already writing consistantly on the blog, so I will do this bonus week a little different.

How can we keep springing and keep this challenge lively, by keeping the focus on the right thing?

I got it!

You get a point for every comment you write!

Keep it special, positive and spiritually uplifting. Ok, so you might feel a little bribed and unnatural in the beginning, but I think it will really be a great way to Keep it Alive in week Five!

Verses make great comments too! Try to make each one different. NO Copy paste. One comment per post. 

All other points are back to normal.

Keep springing and getting those exercise points and keep drinking your water. The results will come.

Don´t forget to measure today. Weigh in and post. We can´t comment on posts if they aren´t there.

 *smile*

Springing for More! 7th Journal Week Four Spring for More! Bonus Points

This is where I jog. It is only a 5 minute jog down hill for me to get here. There are basketball courts too. I love to play at this park.

After we got back from the mall today, and walking for a few hours (only counting 20 min), the boys and I walked/ran down to the park. We were hoping to play basketball but the courts were full. They ended up playing ping pong with some friends and I jogged and stretched. Then we walked home the long way. When I got home, I finished my hour with some ab work and stretching. Praying to have some results even after the weekend.

For all ya´ll springing hard and really putting your heart into it, please don´t get discouraged by the points. We still have 6 weeks left. A lot can happen. Stay faithful. Pray. Keep the goal and you will be surprised at the results. Try to get in at least 40 minutes a day. If you can work up to an hour even better.
