For the month of September we participated in a health & wellness challenge. This was offered to both the parents and their children.
The parents were challenged to participate in four categories which included the food category or eating half a plate of fruits and veggies with their meals (juicing & smoothies included), tracking their daily calories, exercising for 20 minutes or more, and ultimately, total weight lost in pounds. For each item they completed they received one point. At the end of the month their points were tallied for each category along with overall accumulated points. They were awarded a gift card for each category won and overall winner was offered a spa day or prize money.
The kids followed the same point system, but only received one gift card for the most overall points.
Christi Mahler was a rockstar when it came to winning! She won the food category, tracking category, and the overall! She had a total of 91 points! This averaged to 3 points a day. Great job Christi!
Maya, Christi’s daughter, won the children’s challenge with 50 points! I was so impressed with her eager participation along with tracking her calories on paper! Most people track their calories using an app. Maya tracked hers by looking up the calories for each food she ate.
I loved this challenge so much. Even my family participated in this. I would like to offer this annually so it can keep us all on track when it comes to taking care of our bodies and health. Just like I noted to the parents, we only get one body, so we need to take care of it. 🙂
