Change Write Now – Round 2

Back in December I invited book bloggers, writers and book industry people to join me in the Change Write Now challenge. We had an astounding 90+ people sign up. As part of this challenge, players were assigned to teams and each player earned points for the following:


The points categories are (for a total of 100 points each day):



Eating Healthy –25 points
Exercising for at least 20 minutes – 25 points
Sleeping at least 6 hours – 10 points
Consuming 64 oz of Water – 10 points
Checking in with your teammates – 10 points
Adopting One Good Habit – 10 points
Tossing Out One Bad Habit – 10 points

Now that we are coming up on the end of the first challenge, we took a poll of the current players to find out what they thought. We had an overwhelming response. People said they had more energy – some even during very stressful times. Some saw their health improve exponentially. Others lost weight – for those who made that their goal. And still others changed some big habits like giving up cigarettes. Overwhelmingly, the players found that being part of a team made a huge difference. Whenever they felt like blowing off exercise or eating unhealthy, they remembered that their team was counting on them.


So, we are doing the challenge again.
