last chance to join fg8!

hear ye! hear ye!

feel great in eight will start monday, may 18th and end on sunday, july 12th.

those of you who told me you were interested were probably wondering if fg8 was ever really going to happen. my life has pretty much been taken over with school, so forgive me for not starting it sooner. i only have one final left tomorrow. yessssss. can't wait.

even if you already told me you would like to participate, please leave me another comment with your email address if you're interested so i can send you all the rules, etc. also please spread the word if you know of anyone else who would like to join. the more we get to join, the more money that goes into the pot, which equals more motivation for all of us!

the rules in a nut shell:

what is feel great in eight? a fun competition held for eight weeks to "feel great in eight"! it is a fun group all trying to make healthier choices and improvements toward obtaining a permanent healthy lifestyle.
what do you do? get points for working out, eating right, drinking enough water, taking care of yourself mentally, spiritually, intellectually, etc. yep all of it. you also get points taken off for eating "bad foods".
how much? everyone puts $20 in the pot
how long? eight wonderful weeks
who wins? 80% of the pot goes to the person with the most points at the end of the eight weeks, 10% goes to 1st and 2nd runner up. (so if 5 people join and the pot is $100, the winner gets $80 and 1st and 2nd runners up get $10 each.)
how do i submit my points? each week to me through email.
where do i sign up? right here on my blog! please leave me a comment with your email address letting me know you are interested. the deadline to sign up is this sunday night by 10 pm. once you have signed up (by leaving a comment telling me you want to with your email address), i will send you an email with my home address for you to send your $20. or for those of you who live in my parts, just drop it off at my house by hand. the money will be due at the end of the first week by sunday, may 24th. if i do not have your money by then, you won't be in the rest of the competition.

once i start receiving comments, i will send you the official rules and point tracker sheets no later than sunday, may 17th.

i encourage you to join even if you aren't that serious about it. because if anything, it's a really fun way to stay motivated and become healthier! after the eight weeks, you really do start to see these changes become part of your lifestyle, which is the overall goal!
