Biggest Loser first challenge

Today was the official start of Alpenglow's Biggest
Loser Couples. We met up at the church at 8:30 and waited in the freezing cold for directions to our first challenge. All we had been told was to bring ten 12oz cans per team. When we got there some teams had carpet samples while other had chalk boxes with their names next to it. The challenge was to have one team mate run to the other side of the church, pick up a can and run around back to where the teams where. You were to put the can on another team's spot. When your team had accumulated 12 cans you were out. I was the first one for our team and underestimated how hard it was going to be. We took off sprinting but by the fourth time running around I was exhausted! Not to mention that we were running in snow, that will slow you down. Ali and I didn't win, but another team won and was able to pick from three envelopes: Cash, Adventure, or Game Play. They picked cash and got $30. After that we met in the gym and each team is assigned to a certain scale. We had to weigh in and mark it on the sheets that were given to us. You accumulate points each week by three different categories: weigh loss (40%), fitness (50%) and challenge (10%). For fitness you have to do several things to accumulate daily points for your team. (15 minute scripture study daily, 30 min workout daily, getting 6 hours of sleep, eating 5 veggies/fruits daily, drinking 48 ounces of water daily, and doing one personal goal- we picked keeping a food journal). In all there are 20 couples (40 people) participating. Here's just a couple pictures of our group and the challenge today. I'm excited!!! Good-bye 20 pounds!
