Just getting some ideas of who is in. If Beth isnt back in a few days I will post the official one this weekend.
Hope you are feeling better Beth.
I am in for sure.
*********************************************************
Be SURE to read all of this:
The next boot camp will be May 29 - June 25
Here is the general idea:
This boot camp lasts for 28 days.
It is a no excuse challenge - does not matter what happens in our lives, we must stick to the commitment we make when we enter this challenge - hence the name boot camp lol
You set your own goals and commitments, but if you don't met them - you get booted out of the challenge. ( see exception below ) Harsh? Yes it is and I got booted out of my own challenge the last 2 times we did this.
I have created a penalty fine to give each of us a second chance to remain in the challenge.
[I]Some more of the rules are:
1. You must post at least 2 times a week
2. you must give support to at least 1 other boot camp member ( of your chose ) 1 time a week. Have a great week smallfri does NOT count as a supportive post!
3. you must post a weigh in ON or BEFORE MIDNIGHT AT/IN the boot camp weigh in forum thread of these specific dates - NO EXCEPTIONS! ( I understand time zones and will allot for those )
6th - 15th & the 25th of June
You do NOT have to post your actual weight - you DO have to keep track of your starting weight ( on your own if you wish ) as of May 29th and post specific losses or gaines on or before the dates posted above. - This change is at the request of several people who do not wish to post their actual weight, but will post their losses or gains.
The weigh in dates/guidelines have been unclear in the other boot camps - this time I am making it very specific so there is no misunderstandings. If you do not post a weigh in on or before the dates above, you will be given a penalty fine.
I will do weigh in tally's as soon as possible after the said dates above, as my time permits - BUT a weigh in after the said date/dates above will not be included and a fine will be given out.
4. There will be 2 surprise challenges handed on in this boot camp - I assure you they will be something everyone can do - BUT you must complete them or you will be given a fine. I will allow enough time for each of us to read about and complete the challenges.
I will not PM you or post any reminders to anyone about these rules - it is up to you to keep track of how often you are posting and such. I will be keeping track, but only so I know if any penalty fines need to be given out. Each of my post to boot camp in general will always be in red text - so you need to watch for any posts from me in red
If you "mess up" and are willing to pay the penalty fine you can stay in boot camp.
The penalty fine is HARD but nothing none of us can't do. I mean like you don't have to run 10 miles or anything lol.
The penalty fines will one of the following:
1. you must increase your water intake by 32 ozs more daily for 3 days
2. you must increase your daily exercise by an additional 15 minutes for 3 days
3. you must eat 3 servings of vegs and 2 of fruit daily ( unless you already do this ) for 3 days
4. you must plan all your meals for 3 days and stick to that plan ( unless you already do that )
5. you must keep and post a journal of everything you eat/drink for 3 days and tells us why you made those choices with a no excuse attitude.
You will be allowed to chose your own penalty fine - keep in mind, the fines are to HELP you in this challenge, not to punish you. You will as always be on your honor to this challenge thread.
If you fail at the penalty fine - you are out of boot camp ( for this time ).
- You are only allowed 1 penalty fine !
The whole idea of this challenge is to teach us keep our commitments to ourselves and develop a no excuse attitude and lifestyle.
If you make it through boot camp, you get a certificate stating something like "I graduated from DT healthy living boot camp" - and a secret "prize" to be emailed to those who are OK with giving out their email address ( its OK if you don't want to ).
Ok, that is the general idea ...
( my drill Sargent look lol )
Personal Note* ........Please note this is YOUR boot camp - I will do my very best to "led" and encourage each of you, BUT I can not do this alone ! I just like each of you have a separate life away from DT, and have family, work and such to tend to.
If you come on here and see that someone is having a rough go of it - don't assume that I or someone else will support/help them - take 2 minutes and post to your boot camp team member - show them you care.
I will be real blunt with you. I have been a part of many challenges here at DT and have seen the lack of this really hurt peoples feelings. You will not be given a penalty fine, as I won't try to force someone to be caring, but I am asking each of you to be aware of someone in need and to reach out to them.
SO if you have not yet posted your goals - get in here and POST them - goals MUST be posted by May 28 - midnight !
