Well after a winter of fantasy football and chipping online I have put on quite a few pounds. I usually gain about 5 over the winter but this year I gained about 20. Totally sucks because I am not used to having a gut and every time the cat comes to sit on me she starts kneading my belly like its a bean bag. wtf. So I thought I would issue the following challenge to those of you that might want to walk/run a little more this Spring. I know if I lay off the carbs and walk about 10k steps a day the weight will come off..it always has before..so here is what I propose.
Great Fit Bit Challenge of 2017
4/24 - 6/12
RULES
An 8 week competition between fellow PCFers who are looking to increase their daily activity. As an incentive everyone will be required to submit a "tribute" of desirable chips or a single chip equaling an amount in value of approx $150
Please only offer something you really would not want to lose. No quantity of small valued chips. Just primo stuff people!
A Fitbit will be necessary and everyone will be linked together to monitor each others progress. A daily average of 10,000 steps will be required to be maintained throughout the duration of the challenge. If for what ever reason a person does not reach the goal of 10,000 steps in one day. He or she will incur 1 penalty point.
If any participant incurs a penalty point that penalty point can be reversed by walking 20,000 steps the following and only the following day. If not the penalty point will stick and count towards their overall total
Any person receiving 3 penalty points will forfeit their tribute to the pool of chips and be eliminated from the competition
At the end of the 60 days. Those players who have less than 3 penalty points or none at all win. They will retain their "tributes" and be eligible for any tributes that have been forfeited.
Distribution of any forfeited tributes will be in order of overall amount of steps during the 60 day period. So the person with the highest amount of steps for the 60 days will have first pick of any of the tributes. The second highest 60 day average will have second pick and so on.
If a person has lost their tribute be incurring 3 penalty points they will have the option to buy their tribute back for $200. This $200 will now be considered their tribute and available to be claimed by the winners at the end of the 60 days.
Hopefully this will encourage those of us that need a push to get more active and also create an opportunity to pick up some sweet chips in the process. If you already walk or run a lot... please do not try to freeroll us. I will need to see selfies of any suspected healthy freerollers! lol
You can buy a Fitbit Flex which is what I use off of eBay for about $40. You need a smartphone and the app as well.
As the official 1st contestant I will be offering the following
