The wait is over. You can finally exhale. I know you've been anticipating this since I first wrote about it last week. Well here it is. You can have your life back now.
The new challenge! Now, I've been doing some thinking here on this one. (With the few brain cells I have remaining after using the others for everything else that goes on in my life.) And, I'm kind of excited about this idea. This is going to be dubbed the "All I want for Christmas is a Skinny Backside Challenge". Now, I can't remember what I've already said about it, and frankly, I don't want to go back and read what I wrote. So, ignore any discrepancies between what was previously writ. Is that the correct use of that word, not sure. Forgive me. Here we go.
This challenge will start Wednesday, December 7th and end on Wednesday, December 21. So far, we're on the same track as the Turkey Challenge. Wednesday to Wednesday and it's 2 weeks long. Check. Here's the difference. Because we're coming to the end of the competition, I want for us all to be inspired and encouraged to do our personal best. So, in this challenge you will be competing only against yourself. What?! Take it back-she's my worst enemy! I can't possibly! (Just a little inner dialogue-perhaps yours is the same??) Oh, but yes you can! Here's how she's going down!! Up to this point, none of us have exactly been keeping on par with our beginning goal. So, this shouldn't be too difficult for any of us. To win this challenge against yourself you must lose 5 pounds or 3% body weight, whichever is less. For example, let's say you weigh 200 pounds-3% of that is 6 pounds, so you would have to lose 5 pounds to win this challenge. Let's say you weigh 150 pounds-3% of that is 4.5 pounds, so you would have to lose 4.5 pounds to win. Does that make sense?? Feel free to ask for any clarification.
Now, the reward for this All I want for Christmas is a Skinny Backside Challenge will be a credit to your account. Ok, now I'm going to throw this out there and if any of you disagree with it, let me know and we'll come up with something else. (Because this will change the amount of money the ultimate winner will receive.) If you conquer this challenge, you will receive a credit to your account according to how many pounds you lost rounded to the nearest quarter. In the examples above, if you lose 5 pounds, you get a credit of $5. If you lose 4.5 pounds, you get a credit of $4.50. If you lose, 5.3 pounds, you get a credit of $5.25. If you lose more than the challenge, you will also get a credit for those pounds. Let's say you lose 7 pounds, you get a $7 credit! However, there will be a cap at $8. (That's 4 pounds/week, and after that, we're definitely getting into losing weight in a non-healthy way.)
Ok, here's the kicker-there always has to be one, right?! If you agree to do this competition, but fail to meet the goal, you will pay what you lack. For example, if you need to lose 5 pounds and only lose 3 you will have to pay 2 additional dollars. If you need to lose 4.5 pounds and lose 2, you will have to pay $2.50. Capeesh?
This is the end of the end, ladies! We must kick ourselves into gear!! Are you in?? I'm in! And, I need to lose 5 pounds!! YIKES! That's half of what I've lost so far in the whole competition. I must, I must, I must DECREASE my bust! :-) That's some good ole Punky Brewster humor for you!
Ok, so if you're going to play, let me know on Saturday's weigh-in and then, weigh in again on Wednesday, December 7th. Good luck!!!!
