Let’s see how everyone did for Week 1. Do not get discouraged if you did not have a good week. We are building healthy habits. Make Week 2 better than last week. If you are starting late, Welcome! Go here for the Fitness Challenge details, guidelines, point tracking sheets, tips, etc. Make sure to look at the bottom of this post for Week 2’s Bonus Points!
If you tried to get the button to work on your site and it refused to, leave a note in your comment that you want the button and I will email you the code. I think the glitter font I added to it is causing the code to change on my site.

Week 2 Bonus Points: Spend 30 minutes doing something new and fun (yet, inexpensive) with your family/kids/grandkids/siblings (if you do not have any kiddos or family around, a friend counts). This could be a fun craft, a local event, making a yummy meal together, a hike (if you are lucky enough to have warm weather), etc. Share at least one picture or shout out about your adventure/experience on your blog, facebook, or other favorite social network. You do not have to link to my site. This is all for you! I would love to see what you did, so leave a comment here with your link to your post (on facebook, click on the gray time stamp i.e “10 minutes ago” and that will give you your link.)
Possible points: 2 points each 30 minutes = 4 points max for the week. (So, you can do this twice this week)
Let’s have fun!

April 11, 2011 at 7:13 amI managed 26 points. And surprisingly had little trouble with the no-sugar thing.
Michelle from Fun On A Dime says
April 11, 2011 at 8:52 amWay to go, Em! I thought I would have trouble, too, but I was able to pass it all up…I’m giving the credit to my water drinking and this challenge!
Coffee Lovin' Mom says
April 11, 2011 at 7:32 amI got 28/45 points for week one. Had a birthday party on Saturday that ruined the sugar thing that day. The 64oz. water was easier on the days I worked out. Going for at least 30 points for this week~
Michelle from Fun On A Dime says
April 11, 2011 at 8:49 amWay to go and great idea to set a goal to do better for next week. I had a couple friends who had the same issue on Saturday. Before the new it they had a cookie in their hand. lol
Melanie says
April 11, 2011 at 7:43 amI can’t get the check in form to load. I’ll keep trying! I only got 25 points last week. I started out great and then midweek got crazy and lost all sorts of points! I’ll be better today! A few friends and I are doing a challenge within your challenge. If we get 75% of the points, we’re going out to dinner at the end!
Fun On A Dime Lady says
April 11, 2011 at 7:53 amI was worried about that. I added a link, so you can go directly to the form. Thanks for letting me know and that is great that you are challenging each other!
Amber says
April 11, 2011 at 7:56 am27 points —that no sugar thing is harder than I thought!!
Michelle from Fun On A Dime says
April 11, 2011 at 8:50 amGreat job Amber! Keep going!
jessica Myers says
April 11, 2011 at 8:06 amOk, so I just started this so I only got 8 points. I am having a hard time finding time to work out with my 5 month old, but I do get my sleep! 😀 I failed miserably with the sugar. This is going to be hard. The Hubby is out of town this week so I’m hoping I get some good work out time in while he is away.
Michelle from Fun On A Dime says
April 11, 2011 at 8:43 amHey Jessica ~ That stage was hard for me to exercise, too. Can you get out for a walk or even stretching/yoga/pilates? Theare are all things you can do with a baby (literally with)…I’m sure there are some sites with more information. I know with Moby Wraps, they come with some stretching and yoga stuff you can do with the baby in the wrap.
Casherie Bright says
April 12, 2011 at 7:43 pmI did only 5 points! I figure starting and being low is better than not starting at all!! I struggled with all of it but the sleeping I managed 5 nights of.
jessica Myers says
April 11, 2011 at 8:07 amOh and I want a button!
chelsea says
April 11, 2011 at 8:15 amThe working out, no sugar, food curfew, and water are no problem – full points all week. Very tempting, but I love a good challenge! But the sleep thing…. ugh. My 8 mo old twins hate me. I only got 6 hours once last week. So I think that puts me at 39/45.
I love the bonus points idea! Trying to think of what we’re going to do…..
Michelle from Fun On A Dime says
April 11, 2011 at 8:45 amChelsea ~ I bribed those twins with suckers to keep you awake at night! lol You are doing awesome!
Heather says
April 11, 2011 at 8:50 amI got 28 points the sugar thing is not in effect for me. I had both set of parents at my house durring the weekend and so did not do well with some things. Today starts a new week so try again.
Jen says
April 11, 2011 at 9:06 amI got 45/45 last week! Going on vacation this coming weekend so there’s no way I will keep a perfect score. I love how good I’ve felt, though!
Tiffany says
April 11, 2011 at 9:13 amHello! I made it to 39 points this week. Surprisingly the curfew was what hung me up the most, I would just forget to look at the clock …….. on the bright side it was usually fruit that I broke curfew with 🙂
Leslie says
April 11, 2011 at 9:23 amThe sugar thing killed me! So, so hard! Also, the sleeping thing. On the nights I don’t work, I get a good 8 hours! But I’m a night nurse, so after the nights I work, I don’t actually come home and sleep. I come home and stay awake watching the kiddos. Bummer. No way I can really fix that. I am going to do better with the sugar thing this week.
Hopefully, I will actually lose a little weight or a couple inches this week…
Leslie says
April 11, 2011 at 9:25 amOh, and can you email the code for the button? Thanks!
Karen Greenberg says
April 11, 2011 at 9:53 am20 points for me this week. I’ve REALLY got to work on drinking water.
Crystal's Cozy Kitchen says
April 11, 2011 at 10:27 amI was having a slump week last week and only got 21/45. However, I have been doing better the last couple of days.
Cindy C. says
April 11, 2011 at 10:31 amMade it to 36! Drinking all the water helps lessen the sugar cravings by far!
Rani says
April 11, 2011 at 10:34 amI got 45 points…but I did it the hard way…get pneomonia!!!! I know I have spelled this wrong, but it is what I currently have! When I get better, will be at it again! Thanks for the reminder emails-I need that! Way to go everyone!!!
Laura says
April 11, 2011 at 10:49 am25 points this week. i found the challenge after the starting date, but i keep track of everything in a daily food/excercise journal anyway. yay! this is fun!
Tiffany Green says
April 11, 2011 at 11:31 amI got 34 / 45 points. I didn’t start until Tuesday afternoon. It’s been great paying attentiont to everything I eat and drink.
Michelle from Fun On A Dime says
April 11, 2011 at 11:36 amGreat job Everyone! I just realized that I did not comment with my score…44/45.
Tiffanie says
April 11, 2011 at 4:21 pmWow this has been fun. I earned 17 points. The sugar was the hardest. Pop a handful of jellybeans in mouth running out the door, and DANG! I just lost a point for today:( Then the after 8 was a kicker! That is close to the time I clock out as mommy (not really) and try to get in a tivo’d show and gotta have icecream and popcorn. Ugh:( It has made me look at the habits that I have and how they neew to change. Thanks so much for doing this:) Good luck everyone
Krisi Given says
April 11, 2011 at 7:18 pm44/45 points, YEA!!! Having to be accountable makes me think about eating that cookie or eating after eight, etc. I think to myself…oops I will lose points, and I am pretty competitive soooooooo. I’m maintaining my weight loss now and loving the new body!
Adelina Priddis says
April 11, 2011 at 8:24 pm31 points for me! That actually surprised me when I added it all up. The first few days were HARD, and I did not do well at all, but then I kicked it up, and the hubs has been merciless with enforcing my no sugar (secretly I thank him dearly for helping).
Adelina Priddis says
April 11, 2011 at 8:53 pmI just added a post to my blog about my week!

Rebecca Spendlove says
April 11, 2011 at 9:45 pmAm I missing something here?? Isn’t it 7 points possible per day (1pt-water, 2pts-exercise, 2pts-no sugar, 1pt-sleep, 1-pt 8pm curfew) for 7 days for a total of 49 points per week? I tracked everything this way and got 46/49 points for the week. Please correct me if I’m misunderstanding something…
Otherwise, things are going well. My roommate and I have done “no-sugar weekdays” a lot in the past. The first couple of days are hard, but it’s just a matter of making a conscious effort before you stuff something into your mouth! 🙂 The curfew helps me to not eat crap just because I’m bored…
aimee says
April 12, 2011 at 1:44 pmI got 38 points for week one. Audrey’s birthday did me in. Couldn’t resist the cake and ice cream.
Kendra says
April 12, 2011 at 7:03 pmI only got 21 points, but I was on vacation with my four sisters! The sleep and water helped me out on this one, but hopefully I can raise my score next week!
