a perfect day is worth 100 points. a perfect day includes:
- 30 meal points: you earn 6 points per meal for eating five fully sanctioned meals. no snacks between meals. OR since none of us are following the game on food plan, use the 30 points according to how well you think you have done on the food plan you are following. it is a good idea to eat often to keep your metabolism going.
- 20 exercise points: you earn your exercise points by doing some form of exercise for 20 minutes per day. (exercise must raise heartbeat and increase breathing - i.e. can carry on a conversation, but can't sing a song).
- 10 water points: you earn your water points by drinking 3 liters of water per day. all or nothing.
- 15 sleep points: you earn your sleep points by sleeping for a minimum of seven hours a night (or trying to sleep).
- 20 transformation points: you earn 10 points a day for practicing one healthy new habit (must be measurable, meaning you know definitely that you have done it or not for the day) and another 10 points a day for eliminating one unhealthy old habit.
- 5 communication points: you earn your communication points by being in contact with at least one teammate and at least one opponent each day. posting on the blog counts for both. phone calls, emails, and text messages count.
- add 20% of total points earned if lost 1% of your starting weight for the week.
- add 10 points for reporting your score to the blog before noon on mondays.
- give yourself full points for your day off and your meal off.
PENALTIES:
- scale penalty: deduct 1 point each time you weigh yourself more than one time in one day.
- collusion penalty: deduct 20 points if you suggest cheating in the game (i.e. "i will not drink your water if you don't drink your water and then when we both lose our points, it will even out.")
- change your habit: deduct 50 points if you decide your habit is too hard and you change it mid game.
- since none of us are following the game on food plan, we won't be using the snacking penalty.
