So, I heard about this the other day, I got some info on it and decided that I am going to start doing it on Monday!
Here's a breakdown of the program:
A 12 week challenge for people of all ages to improve their spiritual and physical fitness to be better instruments in the hands of God while helping Him build His Kingdom!
Earning Points
A total of 65 total points are possible per week that you can fill out on a spread sheet that I will send to you.
DAILY POINTS
Each of the following will earn you ONE point per day. The physical challenges are worth 6 points because you can have cheat day a week (whatever day you want, can be different days) but prayer and scripture study we need all 7 days.
No Desserts
No Soda (if soda isn't a big deal for you- you can change this to something else- like no fast food- or taking a daily vitamin)
No Eating after 7:30pm
Exercising - 30 minutes, elevated heart rate.
Scriptures -at least 1 chapter (+ 3 bonus points for a perfect week)
Daily prayer (morning AND night) (+ 3 bonus points for a perfect week)
Weekly challenge points

Cheat Days
Your cheat days can be different days. For example- Tues. you go out to eat and really want some soda with lunch, go for it- but no more soda for the week!
Thurs. your friend brings you brownies, go for it- but no more desserts for the week unless you don't want the bonus point!
Friday night you are up super late and are starving at 11:00 pm, GO for it- eat something healthy! But no more midnight snacks!
Sunday you should rest from your daily exercise. That is still a perfect week!
WEEKLY POINTS
There are 10 points possible each week for the following:
FIVE points per week for completing the mystery challenge
FIVE point per week for holding Family Home Evening (doesn't matter which night you hold it on, just as long as you do)!
If you want to give it a try too- just email me or leave a comment and I will send you the spreadsheet and I will add you to the list to get the weekly mystery challenges and encouragement. And it doesn't matter if you are already on a diet or exercise program this could be a great addition! If you know anyone else that might be interested, pass the info along. I have 5 other people, besides myself that are going to participate so far. The more people we get for support the better!
