Virtual Challenge - Week 1

I'll use this page as a back-up to our normal thread - I'll keep daily ideas, prizes, challenges for our virtual contest.

Tasks for today:
1. Set a 12-week goal for yourself, and email it to me at perky_r@yahoo.com.
2. Stretch. Take a walk. Drink some water. Just do it!

Virtual Challenge

1. A weekly thread, hosted each week by one of us (rotating). I'll start it - on my week it's my responsibility to bump it each day, to give you my successes, and to send positive ideas to all of you. At the end of the week, I'll announce a prize (at random)... the prizewinner hosts the thread for the next week (and so on for twelve weeks).
2. Prizes... I'll sponsor a $10 prize each week - winner to be picked at random (not tied to goals, achievements, etc). Helps to keep us motivated.... maybe a big prize at the end, to the one who has achieved the most...
3. Email buddy system - each of us will have two email buddies - your only responsibility is to email them once a week to ask how they're doing and offer support.
   

Visibility:

1. Set your long term goal and communicate it - say, lose ten pounds in twelve weeks.
2. Set some short-term goals (every 2-3 weeks) to get you there
3. Figure out how to measure it. Scale? Tape measure? getting a pair of pants to fit?
   Every Wednesday, tell us about your progress - have something positive to say about yourself and your effort every week.
