This eight week intense summer challenge is not for the faint of heart. This challenge is for Catholic women who want to get FIT this summer while growing in Holiness. Let’s face it, getting healthy and growing in holiness go hand-in-hand and it’s always more fun and motivating to do it with others. Not to mention that a little friendly competition never hurts either!


So ladies .....................are you up for the challenge?

The Challenge Begins!

Okay Ladies, it has begun!

Here is the new updated list of participants (a total of 28 to kick this thing off)!  Yippee!




We are really going to have a blast over the next eight weeks as we all get more healthy and holy together!  

Please make sure you did your official weigh in today, and for consistency purposes please make sure you use the same scale throughout the competition. 

Clarification
H20: Just want to clarify that in order to get the points for drinking water each day - you must drink plain water.  It cannot be flavored water, sparkling water, etc.  Feel free to add ice :) 

POSTING POINTS: 
You can get your POSTING points by posting to the FB group or to the blog.  I would recommend if you have a question or want to create a conversation amongst the group then use FB.  But if you simply have something to share like a great new healthy recipe, a personal success or even a struggle, a motivational story, video, pictures of you spending carefree timelessness with loved ones, etc., that you post it to the blog.   We have a few members in our group that are not on FB, so it would be best to post to the blog as much as possible so that everyone is included.  The more everyone posts - the better!  

If you are not familiar with posting to a blog, I'd be happy to walk you through the steps or you are welcome to email me your story and I can post it for you. 

Everyone should have received an email invitation to become a contributor to the blog. 

OKAY LADIES - let's do this!  Let the competition begin!

Another look WEEK #1 Group Challenge & Prize:  

WEEKLY GROUP CHALLENGE: 25 Points!

Week #1 Theme: Back-to-the-Basics
Fit/Health Component: Eat a healthy breakfast everyday 
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so let's start this challenge off right by fueling our bodies for success from the very beginning of the day.  
Spiritual Component: (2 options - you must choose one)
Option #1: Do not listen to any music, talk radio, cd's, ipods, etc. when driving / or in the car this week  
Instead, give yourself time in silence to pray, to speak to God and to listen to His gentle voice speaking to your heart.  Also try to avoid being on the phone during this time.   If you have family members in the car with you that are disappointed by the music being turned off,  remind them that it's just for one week and use the opportunity to have meaningful conversation or prayer time together. 
Option #2: Spiritually Adopt a family this week that is attending Family Camp next weekend and pray for them daily. 
The very awesome Family Camp is taking place next weekend and prayer warriors are needed!  If you want to choose this as your spiritual component for the week, please contact Colleen Ware at colleenloveslife@hotmail.com and she will connect you with a family that will be so blessed and thankful to have you as their spiritual warrior!
