Measurements, Performance and Points

Hey Everyone-

It's Dee here!  I hope everyone is pumped about our upcoming 30 Nutrition Challenge!  Before we get started, I wanted to discuss how we are going to evaluate/measure your progress each day.  I have decided to make things a little more interesting by adding a point system.  So outside of your baseline testing that will be conducted May 26th and 27th, I have decided that in order to keep participants a little bit more accountable during the 30 days, we will use a point system to address the good, the bad and the ugly.  So this is how it will work-

Depending on you goals, you will be assigned to a mentor.  This mentor, along with myself will review your food log each week and score it according to this point system.  At the end of the 30 days, we will weigh who ever has the most points (60%), most improved performance (20%) and biggest change in measurements (20%) to help us determine the winner from each division.  

Here's a high level overview of how the points breakdown-  

Meal Points:

5 pts for 5 meals a day

3 pts for 3 meals a day

5 pts for balanced strict paleo meal

3 pts for a paleo meal  (not balanced)10

10 pts for no cheat meal each week

Exercise Points:

20 pts    5+ WOD a week  (must write workouts down and time)

10 pts   <4 WODS a week

0 pts      3 WODS a week

-10 pts   <3 WODS a week

Bonus Points:

5 pts daily entry of all meals, snacks and exercise

10 pts for turning in food log in to your mentor (email)

3 pts for daily comments on the Nutrition Blog

2 pts for sharing a meal you enjoyed each week

1 pt 64 oz of water a day

1 pt 8 hrs of sleep

Deduction Points:

 -1 pt for dairy in any meal/snack  (no subs allowed)

-1 pt for any sugar  (no honey, agave, or any sweetener)

-5 pts for grain at any meal/snack (no pseudo grain free items allowed...)

-1 pt for an alcoholic beverage

-1 pt for no post WOD snack

-1 pt for <3 g of fish oil a day
-1 pt for any food item the mentor deems not allowed or not necessary in order to reach your goal

Own up to what you put in our mouth, be accountable!  Write everything down and be honest with yourself.  This challenge will change your life, if you remain discipline and follow the plan. 

Monday I will send out some pre-work for you to read over in preparation for Thursday's brief.  All interested members must attend the brief on Thursday at 6:30 pm.  The buy in is $20 dollars.
