For 8 weeks you gets points for 8 different daily practices.
Do it with others to stay motivated and accountable.*
Try and develop healthier habits and lose/maintain weight.
Get a reality check on your current lifestyle and habits.
Have fun and feel better.
The 8 ways you either get points or lose them are:
1. Exercise (30min = 15 pts and 45+min =20pts)
2. Drink 64 ounces of water (5pts-all or nothing)
3. Read Scriptures for 10+min (5pts-all or nothing)
4. Say PERSONAL prayers (5pts-all or nothing)
5. Don't eat anything after 8:30pm (5pts-all or nothing)
6. Do DAILY CALENDAR* item (5pts-all or nothing)
7. Eat 10 servings of fruits & vegetables (10pts-if you eat 3 veggies and 3 fruit you get 6 pts and so on)
8. One serving of BAD FOOD (See list) = (-1 pt)
Every MONDAY morning you will weigh in. Every lb lost = 4pts (If you gain weight during the 8 weeks, you do NOT count the loss again-points are given only for NEW loss.)
Each week there are different lists of activities to do (complete one per day) that will help you take the time to rest, learn more about healthy lifestyles and serve. All the lists have been posted on this blog under "Gi8:Daily Calendar-Week __".
* I've found that having a weekly winner for each of the 8 weeks opposed to one final winner works best. This way all the other players don't lose their momentum and motivation when one person or team gets way ahead or loses a bunch more weight etc!! Figure out what works best for you and what size group works best for you.

WELCOME TO THE ISHA ("ee-sha') GIRL CLUB - where you don't have to be a girl to join in the journey!
Simply incorporate the following principles into your everyday life and you're "IN"! So, come join the "ISHA GIRL CLUB" and join me in my journey to better overall health of mind, body and spirit!
I
INDIVIDUALITY/WARRIOR II Pose (Virabhadrasana II)
ISHA GIRLS are "bold, beautiful, confident and tuff"...their confidence lies in God and they are "SHINERS". They identify their strengths and unique talents and spend time developing both so they can enlighten and uplift others with their gifts.
S
SERVE others & SPREAD "Aloha"/HEART
ISHA GIRLS know "to find one's life, they must lose it". With "aloha" (LOVE) in their hearts they serve. This humbles them, broadens their perspective and increases their compassion while decreasing judgement, fear and selfishness.
H
HIPPYISH/PLANT
ISHA GIRLS have a "go green" mentality in how they live their lives. They respect their bodies (exercise, eat right and get rest) and their Earth (reduce, reuse and recycle).
A
ACQUIRE further light & knowledge/OWL
ISHA GIRLS never stop learning. They are invigorated by obtaining new knowledge, broadening their scope and improving their minds through both temporal and spiritual study.
