So what's this game?

 The game that changed everything

        If you just so happened to read my little bio then you know that the main theme of this whole thing is Game On. Well what the hell is it? It's a book written by Kristen Vernoff, head writer on Grey's Anatomy, and Az Ferguson, winner of Body for life's million dollar challenge.Here's the boring part, the explanation.
       
 Look at him, seriously how can you not trust him?
     It is all about how Kristen had a baby and was having trouble losing the  weight. So she turned to her good friend Az and he gave her a plan to follow. She didn't. Then he challenged her to a game. In the game you earn points for good behaviors and lose points for bad ones. It's all about percentage of weight loss not pounds so it levels the playing field. It was basically the plan he gave her at the beginning but with the element of competition sprinkled in. 

                     

         You have to drink 3 liters of water a day (constantly peeing at first), get 7 hours of sleep a night, eat 5 meals a day each with a healthy fat protein and carb, take on a good habit and lose a bad one,exercise 20 minutes a day, and communicate with one person on your team and one person from the opposite team everyday. There is NO snacking between meals and a whole list of things you cannot eat anymore. I know it sounds tough but there is a meal off and a day off for each of the rules. It allows you to have flexibility and not just give up because it is too rigid.

         

          

          I know now you are ready to cry and stamp your feet and tell me it's too hard you can't do it. Well first of all once you get started it's not as difficult as it seems. Second of all SUCK IT UP. That's what I told myself and that's what I'm telling you if you are thinking of losing weight. We didn't get to this point by accident and it's going to take a lot of work to undo it.

           

          Great news is it works. It really and truly works. The creators themselves look great and I look better and feel better after having played. I lost 10 pounds by playing the first time and have just started my second round. If you don't have any weight to lose but what to play and be healthy you can set a fitness goal instead.

           So that's the dealio. I now follow this plan and feel amazing. I am up to 4.5 liters of water a day usually. it's surprising how it seemed impossible at first and now its second nature.
