HFN Holiday Challenge

*Update: I have added a Question/Answer section just under the HFNHC Badge. If you have questions, check there for an answer! :D 

Okay guys, here is the challenge information and plan! I've been working on this for WEEKS, and I'm so excited to bring this to our board. I hope that we can have regular challenges every season like some of our sister boards. :D

The challenge will run from November 1st through December 31st.
You will track your own points and may use this google document to do so. Just post here stating that you plan to participate! You can track them on this form online via your google account, or you may save it to your computer as an excel document, or you may print it out and keep a hard copy.
There is a sheet for November, and a separate sheet for December, which you can navigate via the tabs at the bottom, just like in excel.
The guidelines for the tasks are on the left hand side. and are as follows
     5 and 10 point tasks may be completed everyday throughout the challenge and are stackable
     15 point tasks may be completed only ONCE per week throughout the challenge
     20 and 30 point tasks may only be completed ONCE per the ENTIRE CHALLENGE
 
The challenge, is of course, on the honor system, so be sure to track as accurately as possible.
 
If you complete every 5-20 point task listed in the challenge plus (2) 30 point tasks, you will earn a small finishers badge which you can display on your blog or siggy. Addtionally, there will be several size badges that indicate your participation in the challenge which can be added to your blog or siggy.
 
Note that you can finish the challenge, and not have accumulated the most points, so there will also be ranked first, second, and third place point winners. (Unless there is a tie, which we'll address when we get there.) :)
 
If you have questions, please email me: kelsey @ kelseytoney dot com
 

I will be looking for a couple of volunteers that can post the check in (where you'll check in with your point totals) to the board every Monday, so if you are interested in helping me out with that, please reply here, or email me.

Questions and Answers:

Q: Can we do more than one of the 5 point tasks and 10 points tasks a day..and then do the same ones the next day?  

A: You may do multiple, 5 and 10 point tasks a day...(e.g. you may do four 5 point tasks each day, and do the same four 5 point tasks tomorrow). You may not count the same 5 point task twice in one day.

Q: 5 points - 30 min incidental activity. 10 points - 15 to 30 min dedicated exercise. What's the difference?

A: Incidental exercise is walking around the office at work, going to the mailbox, going up your stairs, carrying in groceries, cleaning, etc. and can be accumulated throughout the day.  Dedicated exercise is putting on a t-shirt and making yourself sweat . Going for a walk/jog, playing a sport, doing yoga, a workout video, cycling, swimming, group classes, etc. Basically, working out with intention.

Q: For meals prepared at home, do leftovers count if we bring them for lunch the next day?

A: Leftovers definitely count! :D

Q: I'm late to the challenge, can I still join?

A: You can start anytime, because points are acquired everyday, and you can start tracking them as soon as you want. Of course, ladies who start on day 1 will have a point advantage over girls who started on the 15th.

Looks great!

I'll be honest and admit that I would probably cheat on points.  I may play along secretly, though.

I'm going to say I'm in but can't guarantee I'll stick with it lol.

But I do have what is probably a stupid question. 5 points - 30 min incidental activity. 10 points - 15 to 30 min dedicated exercise. What's the difference?

Google docs is blocked at my work (online storage something or other....), so I will have to check it out when I get home tonight.  But I'll take the other girls' word and assume this is awesome!

Um you could try excel and see if it works. Or try OpenOffice and see if that works. Maybe pdf but when I tried that another weird box popped up. Otherwise you might just have to print it and write them in.
