… holiday bootie buster challenge

by Ali on November 23, 2009

I may have returned to running with new found enthusiasm, but I still need motivation, especially when it’s cold and I’m tired or hungover during the holidays.

So I’ve joined Amanda’s holiday bootie buster challenge!

nike-butt-ad1

hbbc points

1 Point per mile (run/walk/snowshoe)
1 Point per 3 miles biked
1 Point per 30 minutes of weight lifting, Pilates, yoga, stretching or abs
1 Point per 15 minutes of another form of cardio (i.e. kick boxing, aerobics, swimming, elliptical)
1 Per day where you reach a minimum of 7 servings of fruits and veggies

… and since I like challenges and buying myself stuff, I’m adding an extra incentive to my personal pot.  If I can hit 138 points then I am spending $100 on moi here.

UPDATE:  the first day of the challenge I went to here to see what I would reward myself with.  I spent $108 … so really I’ve already rewarded myself … oops.  So I am changing it.  If I get 150 points then I get to buy this in magenta!

Is that Amanda? Mmmm. Glad you spent heaps on clothes that suit your super-fit running body.

Um, can I have that booty?! And lululemon is always a fantastic incentive!
