Description:

Sisterhood of the Smaller Pair of Pants

The purpose of this challenge is to instill enduring health habits. You may lose a few pounds or inches. If you do, celebrate. If you don't, celebrate too. In the words of fitness coach Christine D'Ercole, "You are so much more than a smaller pair of pants." Yes, you are.

This challenge is designed for all fitness levels. The way you earn points will reflect this, so keep reading. We all start from a different place in our journey to a healthier self. We all have different goals. YOU do YOU.

Earning Points

Each day you can earn on point for each goal met; that's three points a day for a max of 21 points per week.

Hydration

Goal: Drink 64 ounces of water today. Earn one point per day; maximum of seven points each week.

Physical Activity

Goal: Engage in physical activity today. Earn one point per day; maximum of seven points each week. It doesn't matter how many minutes, miles, calories, etc. The maximum you can earn is one point per day.
Why only one point per day? Why can't you bulk up on activity and earn some extra points--maybe make up for the nachos you want to eat? Words of advice from my coach at CrossFit Allendale, Kate Connelly: You cannot out train a bad diet.

Nutrition:

Goal: Follow your eating plan with NO cheats today. Earn one point per day; maximum of seven points each week.
You choose your plan. I will share what has worked for me, adapted from a plan provided by Coach Kate.
Oh, I repeat: YOU CANNOT OUT TRAIN A BAD DIET.

Now that you have read through the rules of the challenge, set a goal. Make it measurable and attainable. Write it down. Achieve it.

This is not a punishment.
This is cause and effect.

Are you ready? Time to make yourself proud.
