Bariatric Foodie Pledge - Week One - LEVEL UP!

So yesterday evening we saw the beautiful yummyness that is Julia's Thai Shrimp Skillet, using Chike PB. And I kinda left you hanging there at the end of the post as to why I was telling you about Chike PB when this week's prize is actually Chike protein powder.

Let me explain.

So... you're all really into your goals, right? I've been doing the Pledge for a few years now and I can say that by mid-week, one of two sentiments has taken over:

1. You are struggling with your goal and are about to say, "Enhh, I'll attack it again next week!" OR
2. You have settled into a ho-hum routine of doing whatever it is you said you'd do (which means your goal probably wasn't challenging enough).

That's why I'm going to challenge you tomorrow,Wednesday, to LEVEL UP! 

What the heck does that mean?

If your pledge was to drink 64 oz. of water, LEVEL UP! Drink 72. If you said you'd exercise 15 minutes a day, LEVEL UP! Do 30. And if you have been exceeding your goal...LEVEL UP again! Do just a little bit more than you've been doing.

Why? Well firstly to recharge you and make you realize you really ARE capable of doing things you didn't think you could/would do but...more practically...do it because there is a PRIZE involved!

That's right! Chike has agreed to give away THREE jars of PB to three Pledgers who..say it together now..LEVEL UP!

So on Wednesday I'm going to put out the call to LEVEL UP. To qualify for the prize, you need to tell us what your original goal was and how you leveled up. You can do so either on Facebook, Twitter, or in response to this blog post. Everyone who does this by 11:59 p.m. PST Wednesday will be entered to win one of three jars of Chike PB. (Side note: this is where a good S.M.A.R.T goal comes in handy...leveling up on non-specific goals can be tricky!)

Alright...so you have some inspiration. You have a reward. Wednesday: let's LEVEL UP! 

(Disclaimer: This LEVEL UP prize does not replace the weekly prize of Chike protein. To get that, you still have to check in at the end of the week. Week one check-ins open Saturday, February 8 at 12 noon EST. Be sure to check-in so you can win the weekly prize - and, yes, you can win the weekly prize even if you win the LEVEL UP prize, so check in!!!)
