Challenge--100 points a month :)

I'm copying this from a beachbody thread....Phil copied it from another thread :P good things can spread like wildfire :)

MarathonP'S 100 POINT CHALLENGE: Adapted from the 100 point challenge on John Stone Fitness Forums (thank you John Stone!)

THE MOTIVATION:
It is a mathematical fact: if you workout 6 times a week, eat clean 6 times a day (every 2-3 hours), and track your progress, ripped is a mathematical certainty. So that is the basis of this challenge, to track that mathematical certainty with a little math.

MATHEMATICALLY CERTAIN OUTCOMES:
These are what I believe to be mathematically certain outcomes of doing these things with consistency and discipline:

1) You become happy, with a happiness and inner self-esteem that you alone control

2) Your whole life goes to a new level - everything following your fitness - your work, your relationships and friendships, your hobbies and interests, your success

3) You get ripped

PREMISE OF THE 100 POINT CHALLENGE:
The premise of this challenge is pretty simple: Each participant starts the month with 100 points. A point is deducted each time a workout is missed, a meal is missed, an unscheduled "cheat" meal or snack is consumed or a daily update to your official challenge post is missed. The goal, of course, is to finish the month with 100 points!

THE 100 POINT CHALLENGE RULES:

1) The challenge begins on January 1, 2009. It is performed one month at a time. My plan is to do this Jan-June 2009, and then reassess.

2) It doesn't matter if you are cutting, bulking or maintaining. The common goal here is 100% consistency.

3) Each person participating in the challenge should start with an challenge post. Your progress must be updated each and every day. The updates won't take long (examples below). If you miss an update, you must deduct a point.

4) Miss a workout for any reason, deduct a point.

5) Miss a meal for any reason, deduct a point.

6) Eat an unscheduled "cheat" meal or snack, deduct a point.

Feel free to post before/after pictures if you like (optional).

Of course this challenge is based on the honor system. You can cheat, but that would be pointless.

EXAMPLE POSTS FOR THE 100 POINT CHALLENGE:

DAILY LOG (Note: Each entry should be completed the day after, or at the end of the same day after all meals/workouts are completed. Will be sure to keep a running total of my points, as shown below.)

JAN 1: I did my cardio and ate all meals as scheduled.
-0 points [100 points]

JAN 2: My car broke down and I missed my back workout. I walked to Burger King for dinner and had an unscheduled cheat meal.
-2 points [98 points]

JAN 3: I missed my cardio today, but ate all meals as scheduled.
-1 point [97 points]

JAN 4:

JAN 5: I missed yesterday's update, but I did my delts and traps workout yesterday, and ate all meals as scheduled (including my scheduled cheat meal). Today I did my cardio, ate all meals as scheduled and did my leg workout.
-1 point [96 POINTS]

You continue in this fashion until Jan 31, and then the February 2009 100 Point Challenge starts. I intend to do this from January through June. My goal is to keep all months above 90, and to get a 100 on at least one month.

The reason that everything is worth 1 point equally, ie the workouts, each meal, and tracking progress, is because they are all equally important. If all of these 3 things are done, the workouts, the nutrition and the tracked goals, ripped is a mathematical certainty.
