The challenge is on!

Nicole is in, so we are officially having a Christmas challenge!

This is the general idea. Each person goes about their day and records what they eat on their blog. When you don't have a perfect day, you have to pay the piper.

Your "days" can be measured according to Nicole's "Fuhrmometer". A Kale day is a perfect ETL day. A cookie day is a day filled totally with junk.
  • Kale days cost nothing
  • Broccoli days cost $1
  • Eggplant days - $2
  • Lentil days - $3
  • Blueberry days - $4
  • Potato days - $5
  • Brown rice - $6
  • Cashew - $7
  • Cheese - $8
  • Cookie - $9

On any given day, for each 30 minutes of exercise, you can earn back $1. (In other words, if you had a lentil day but exercised for a half hour, it would only cost you $2)

Each person would have to post on their own blog (or on this thread) what they ate. We'll just keep a tally of who has what kind of day, and then add up the totals and figure out who owes the most money.

I think the person who does the best should get to name the charity that everyone else has to donate their fines to, but we could also pair up, and then the winner of each pair could either keep the other person's fines, or send it to their favorite charity.

We're starting TODAY!
