Cool New Website

I found this great new website- its called Healthmonth.com

You pick goals from a list of choices, or you create your own. I choose 5 (no more then 5 is recommended for the first month, and I wish I wouldn't have chosen so many!
I picked:
Take a Multivitamin every day
drink more water, my goal is 7 glasses a day
limit alcohol to 1 drink a day (so 7 weekly, but does not include a daily glass of red wine)
eat greens 5 days a week
and Finally
no foods with added sugars. this one is the one I expect to be the most difficult.

So you pick from a list of goals, and then you sign a contract with yourself. You receive points for every day you meet goal, and lose points when you don't.
If I finish the month ahead, I am getting a massage
If I finish behind, I have to clean the basement. Spiders and all.

I didn't realize when I signed up last night that it actually started at the beginning of the month, so I am already down points considering the weekend I had!

I'd like to get a team together for next month. everyone picks their own goals, but then we compete with each other. it seems like a fun way to be both motivated and accountable.

sign up and let me know what you think!
