Game On!
Posted in The Life of the Historian and tagged with Competitive, Game, Health, Roommate on August 16, 2010
Ever since I heard about the Game On! Diet on Twitter, I knew that I’d have to play. Anyone who knows me in real life (and has had the pleasure of playing a game with me) knows I’m a wee bit competitive.
So what better way to establish good health and life habits in a competitive way than to play a game?
So, my roommate and I are each captaining a team (there’s 9 of us total)in this 4-week game. There has been a little trash talk going on…that’s just who we are.
You can follow the link above if you want to know more about how the Game On! Diet works (we’ve customized it a little bit–particularly the food portion), but basically you get points for food choices, water, exercise, sleep, and replacing a bad habit with a good one.
It’s exactly the motivation I need to make these changes…and not just for the 4 weeks.
So all I’ve got to say is: Game On.
My team is totally winning.

I’ve never heard of this, but for those with a real competitive spirit, sounds like a good plan. Good luck, hope you kick their butts!

My old office used to host weight loss competitions where everyone threw in money. I have never known a more weight-losing group of people in my life. Incentives are always good motivators.
Good luck!

Sounds like something I could get into. I’m a wee bit competitive myself!

I’m so curious to see how it goes! I so need a Game On Diet right now, times 20. You know, I still secretly wish they would design a little pill that would solve the problem completely. :) Yes, I’m being a bit lazy, which is why I need the Game On Diet more than ever! Good luck; you’ll do great!

Karen: I hope we do, too!
Florida Girl: Just call them losers…you know you want to!
Becky: Ha, yeah, a pill would definitely be the lazy way out (if it were possible).
