Monday is the start of something new!

Okay - so for anyone who is interested, we are starting a new little summer competition. Here's the details:

1. The goal is a minimum of four 30 minute workouts per week. You can only count a maximum of 1 workout per day (so for instance, if you workout for an hour or you do two workouts in one day, this still only counts as 1 workout). The goal is to break a sweat and for each of us this will be at a different level. If everyone is honest with themselves, each individual knows what is a "workout" for them and so it will be up to everyone to be honest with themselves and the group with respect to their weekely # of workouts. So, basically, as before , the honor system.
2. Every missed workout for the week counts for $5.00 towards the pot - so, for instance, if you only get two workouts in on a given week, you owe $10.00 to the pot, for only three workouts in a given week, you owe $5.00 to the pot etc. If you do four 30 minutes workouts in a week, you don't owe anything to the pot.
3. A week is considered Monday through Sunday and we will all be required to post a weekly summary by midnight Wednesday of the following week (I am going to try to post every time I workout, just to keep myself motivated). Everyone will just post their own blog post (instead of adding a note to a summary post as we did last time). This time, to be fair and consistent, if you forget to post your summary by Wednesday night, you will be disqualified - no exceptions. If this happens, you will commit to sending me the money you owe the pot as soon as possible. You will certainly be allowed to continue posting and participating regardless, but will not be eligible to win the pot at the end.
4. The summary post should include the following: # workouts for the week, # workouts for competition and cumulative amount owed to the pot.
5. Person with the most workout days logged between June 1st and August 30th wins the pot (in the event of a tie, the money will be split between those in the tie)

This should be that final push that some people need to make their goal weight and for other, that re-do they need to get back on the horse (this would be the case in our family at least).

Read the proposal carefully and if you are uncomfortable with anything as written, please don't officially participate. BUT - anyone that wants to participate unofficially (as in, posting to the blog and keeping track - but not contributing to the pot) is more than welcome - the more the merrier!

Let me know if you have any questions. I know, at least now, that John, Paula, Kathy and myself are participating. Should be fun!
