And without further ado...

NOTE: the challenge has been pushed back one week and will now be a 9 week challenge beginning on 1/28. Please have enrollments to me no later than 1/25. I posted the updated forms below. If you have any problems accessing them here, please email me at mailto:amandabc123@gmail.com and I will email them to you.

It's that time of year again, when we start to take notice of the extra baggage the holidays can bring oh so often.  This will be my third year at forcing offering upon you a challenge to create some healthy habits and get your year started off right!

Due to popular demand (and numerous threats and accusations for actually being the REASON people are out of shape since this challenge has not yet started), I am organizing another friendly New Year, New You challenge.  This one will run for 10 weeks.  Last year's style received great feedback, so we will retain the individual goal format.  However, you know I have fitness A.D.D., so there will be some tweaks made, including a team point tracker and weekly challenges.

The New Year New You goal challenge is for those serious in setting a wellness goal and achieving it with no excuses!!

THE SKINNY: 

• What: A 10-week Team challenge to help you achieve your health goals and promote wellbeing through physical activity and nutrition.
• Who: Anyone! Create a team of 2-4 people (they do not need to be at EBMS). If you don't have a team but want to participate, let's talk!
• How: Teams earn points by completing physical activity, experiencing improved fitness levels, and completing Bonus Activities.
• When: January 21st through March 31st  (Update: dates will now be January 28th through March 31st.)
• How much: The entry fee to participate is $30 per person, which must be submitted to Amanda by Monday, January 21st. (Deadline extended to January 25th - email Amanda if you need to mail a check).
• Why: Prizes will be given out for those who win weekly challenges and/or total challenge points, but most importantly, YOU will have support to meet your health goals! This challenge is for YOUR health benefits, and primarily "on your honor." Be honest to see the most improvements and progress towards your goal.
• Bonus! Similar to last year, set a challenging goal to work towards during these 10 weeks, and a painful consequence to do if you don't meet it! Make it so you WILL meet your goal no matter what! Meeting your goal also gives your team bonus points.
