WEEK 5 - ROLL CALL 

Yesterday is the day everyone should have submitted their points, here is what I have to date. As always I send my spreadsheet to the game organizers on Friday's at 5 pm EST. If you want the bonus points this week remember to send me any weeks that you missed in addition to this week. I have only given Hubbaji points for part 4 as he was the only one to send in a recipe, and we are supposed to have two for the team to get the reading points. So far points for part 7 are just stating that you've read the statement and have no changes. Changes are still welcome if anyone wants to make them.

Phoenix121 - 255
Hubbaji - 255
Supersized - 190
Glamstarlett - waiting for submission (wk 4 & 5).
Canadianchick - waiting for submission.
Daveka - waiting for submission.
Renicki - Dropped out.

Week 7 Challenge ~ Emerge a Butterfly!!!  Thursday, 10/19 - Wednesday, 10/25

So, what's up for week 7 ~ Emerge A Butterfly??? 

It's the Grand Finale ~ Game Plan Week!  A chance to look back and note the changes in our plans!  Plan for the Upcoming Holidays!  Figure out how to continue our Journey!

Ready to read all about it and pick up your Week 7 challenge and parts here!  No points sheet for week 7!  

The Points!  This week is a little Different!  This week we're not doing points by part! 

• In Part 3, we ask you to email your brain bender answer to brain.bender@hotmail.com for a trick or treat!  The Games Coordinators will give your bonus points for the brain bender to your scorekeeper.
• In Part 8, we would like you to share your "Game Plan" and post it on the Team Submission Thread for a trick or treat!  The Games Coordinators will give your bonus points to your scorekeeper.
• No points for Part 2 ~ it's just some fun information and quizzes that look back over the games
• No points for Parts 1 and 5 ~ it's all about you and your goals!  Do you want to take a minute to look back at your goals when you started.  See how far you've come?  Maybe plan a bit for the future?
• No points for the rest of the Parts like Part 4 Main Dish Recipes, Part 6 Googled Links, and Part 7 Motivation Statements ~ thought we would share the submissions from everyone.  You can bookmark these for later when you have more time to peruse or want a new recipe to try?

Need the New, Updated & Current Games Directory?  Team Roster?



pssst!  1 last leetle thing! ~ If you are still participating in the Challenge, then you have won!  Perhaps you even learned a little more about what you like and dislike, what you enjoy, and perhaps you set a few new goals.  Perhaps you discovered new tools and the wealth of health, nutrition and exercise information available here at calorie-count and on the net.  Perhaps you met a new friend or two, strengthened your friendship with old friends,  enjoyed the journey together. 

The really gr8 news!  The games may be over but we don't have to part!  We look forward to seeing you around calorie-count for a long time to come :)

Cheers, United2gether, Garnet77, Kalkette, Beanie1125 ~ your Friends & Games Coordinators :)
