2012 Fall Sprint

Welcome to fall. The summer is nearly over and hopefully you've had a chance to experience all that summer has to offer. For many of us, that includes BBQs, family gatherings and trips to the cabin - all of which typically include gorging on your favoite foods, deserts and cocktails. I for one have done more eating than exercising this summer and feel it's time for a little Weight08 motivation.

The next round of Weight08 will begin Friday, September 7th. This is both the official weigh-in date and first day to earn exercise points. Below are a couple of changes implimented during the previous round:
  1. Shortened the timeframe from 12 to 8 weeks. (The competition period will run September 7th - November 2nd.) This will also be known as a "Sprint".
  2. More ways to earn - $5 will be awarded to the top point earner each week. If there is a tie, that money will carry over to the following week and the person with the highest two-week total will earn both. (You must report your points by Sunday to be eligible for these bonus bucks.)
Please let me know by EOD Friday, September 7th if you are interested in participaing. As always, please feel free to invite friends, family and co-workers. The more people around you focused on eating better and exercising the better you'll do.

Good Luck!
