My sisters and I have challenged one another to get healthy in 2011. In order to motivate and hold ourselves accountable, we are throwing some change into 1 or 2 pots each day: "WAY TO GO!" and "UH-OH!" Each goal is worth 25 cents- if you complete the goals of the day, 25-50 cents are added to the "WAY TO GO!" jar. If you do not complete one or both goals of the day, the change is added to the "UH-OH!" jar. We rest from exercise on Sunday. The one with the MOST in the "WAY TO GO!" jar WINS the change in everyone else's "UH-OH!" jar. The challenge lasts for 50 days and we start today!
They've done the research (thank you) and I feel like shedding some inches and taking better care of myself, so I'm actually excited!
Here are the goals:
(Diet) "The 7-day Low Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan" (book written by Dr. Rachael F. Heller and D. Richard F. Heller)- Eat a low carb veggie and protein before eating any carbs, and reduce carb intake
*I've added NO eating after 8 pm and drink 8 glasses of water/day
(Exercise)- Exercise a minimum of 10 minutes per day, and at least 30 minutes 3 times per week
This blog began when our family moved to Delft, The Netherlands in 2008. We have since returned to the USA, but kept the title along with many fond memories.

What a great idea Amy. I love it!!! Now I just need to get a group of friends to join me. And if you do happen to be even at the end, you just get to keep your money, right? Thanks for sharing!
You go girl!
