CCC 5/5/12
Rules
1. This is a 6 week challenge. It begins 5/5/12 and ends 6/15/12. It is open to all comers on, or off-site. Cost is $75.00.
2. It is a points challenge. You may accumulate up to 15 points per day and 5 extra credit points per week. Whomever has the most accumulated points - wins.
3. Grand prize is $500 to the person with the most points. $250 will be awarded to the person with the next highest total. In the event of a tie, we will have a burp-off. Kidding. The pot will be split equally and services will be offered equal to the value of $500 for each winner ($250 if tied for 2nd place).
4. Daily point totals must be calculated and posted to the comments section on the GPP mainsite before midnight of the day they are earned. The day for which you are posting points must correspond with the workout of that day.
5. Point totals must also be written manually onto the weekly worksheets sent by mail upon registration. These are to be turned in (scanned and emailed) on the last day of the challenge (6/16/12). The Worksheet requires your signature guaranteeing its authenticity. Pages not signed are not counted.
6. There are no such things as EXTRA points. Each activity is only good for 1 single point per day. Doing multiple workouts, prayers, etc., will not count for extra points. There are 15 TOTAL points available for any given day. Each point has ONE specific category. Same goes for weekly extra credit points. There are ONLY 5 additional extra credit points available per week.
7. No point banking. Points earned on one day do not carry over to the next day. Nor can they be used retroactively. Points lost in one category may not be “made up” by performing extra in another. In other words, if you drank a soda and lost that point for the day, you may not make up for it by doing two 30 min. workouts (especially since that wouldn’t count anyway.)
8. Be HONEST. If you are in this to improve your health and appearance, you have nothing to gain by lying, right? $500 is a poor substitute for your integrity. Besides, it is easy to catch you if you lie. Hope nobody ever has to find out how.
9. GPP reserves the right to make final decisions regarding any disputes which may arise as result of this challenge. We also reserve the right to change rules to avoid/resolve disputes or make clarifications to the challenge. GPP will make decisions based on keeping with the integrity of this challenge.

Explanation of Daily Points Breakdown (15 total per day)
Just common sense stuff here. If there is a question in your mind and you find yourself justifying - count on losing a point. If you need clarification, feel free to ask.
No added/refined sugars - It is going to be hard to get a point here. Most food has added/refined sugar. If you can make it through a day without, you have a good chance of winning.
What are “refined sugars?” From “Food Rules” by Michael Pollan: Sugar, barley malt, beet sugar, brown rice syrup, cane juice, corn sweetener, dextrin, dextrose, fructo-oligosaccharides, fruit juice concentrate, glucose, sucrose, invert sugar, polydextrose, turbinado sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, brown sugar.
“Wait, my bread lists sugar in the ingredients. Does that count?” - NO point for you!
No unhealthy snacks - Apple = good. Caramel apple = bad. Get it?
Healthy and correct portion breakfast - Do you know exactly how many calories you need for breakfast? Was your meal balanced? Did you measure and weigh it?
Healthy and correct portion lunch - Do you know exactly how many calories you need for lunch? Was your meal balanced? Did you measure and weigh it?
Healthy and correct portion dinner - Do you know exactly how many calories you need for dinner? Was your meal balanced? Did you measure and weigh it?
Eat .9 g of protein per lb of lean body weight - Learn your estimated lean body weight. Multiply by .9.
Eat 5 servings of fruits - How much is a serving of the fruit you are about to eat? Google is your friend.
Eat 5 servings of vegetables - Google it.
Take multi-vitamin - You may choose whichever one suits you. You must take the recommended dose. If the package says, “2 per day” and you only take 1 - NO point for you. BTW - I use NuSkin. They are amazing.
64 oz. water per day - Plain WATER, not “fluid.” Your DC and Crystal Light won’t count here. You may need more depending on many factors (temp, activity level, how much you sweat, your size, your sex, etc.), but if you drink 64 oz. - you get a point.
No soda (diet or otherwise) - Oh well, it’s only 1 point.
GPP daily workout - GPP workouts are the most effective and efficient workouts for helping you achieve optimal health. They are perfect and proven. Other workouts will not count towards a point. GPP workouts are not posted on Sundays. Whether you workout or not on that day - you get a point.
30 minutes of cardio - Anything that gets your heart rate up and keeps it there for 30 minutes counts. BTW - if you happen to go for several hours, it still only counts as ONE 30 minute session from a points perspective. We will not be posting GPP workouts on Sundays. Whether you do your 30 mins of cardio, or not - on that day - you get a point.
Prayer/meditation - Health goes deeper than just the physical. If you spend only 1 moment in deliberate prayer or meditation throughout your day, you get a point. We recommend more though.
6-8 hrs continuous sleep - Science has shown that getting less than 6 and more than 8 hours of CONTINUOUS sleep is detrimental to your health. Hear a “bump” in the night? Did you get up to investigate? NO point for you! CONTINUOUS, remember?
Explanation of Weekly Extra Credit Points Breakdown (5 total per week)
Community service - This constitutes, at least, 1 hour of service to your community that doesn’t directly benefit you or a member of your immediate family.
Community/family activity - 1 hr. of continuous activity (hiking, biking, tennis, etc.) with at least, 1 other member of your family or friends. This is not a two-for-one deal. You cannot go hiking with friends or family as part of your 30 min extra credit cardio and count it as both.
Complete a sanctioned competitive event - This may be a distance running event (5k, 10k, half-Marathon, etc.) or any other community event of your choosing. How can you be sure if it is sanctioned? Here is a guideline. Triathlons put on by the city = sanctioned. Frat houses duking it out for Frisbee golf supremacy = probably not. When in doubt, ask GPP staff.
Attend a weekly Saturday meeting - GPP will be holding weekly meetings to help you with your healthy goals and objectives. These will occur at 8am at GPP HQ. These will last no longer than 45 min. The bulk of our measuring and weighing will be done at these times. If off-site, we will Skype them.
Weigh and measure weekly - GPP trainers are happy to help you with this. You may also choose to do it yourself. Either way, you will earn points for doing it. If you choose to have a GPP trainer measure and weigh you, and you can’t make it to the Saturday morning meetings, you may have this done before class times at GPP. However, it is on you to arrange this with a trainer and it must be done before class times. GPP trainers will no longer be measuring clients at any time during a class. In the past, we have sometimes conceded to measuring and weighing clients right after a class has started. This is a huge problem. Breakdowns in form and confusion about workouts generally happen within the first several minutes of starting a class. It is the worst time for a trainer to be unfocused and/or not present.
