Today I’m starting a game with a bunch of other book bloggers. It isn’t just any game, but a game to get healthy.
Really, the Game On! Diet is misnamed. It is less about ‘dieting’ than it is about building up healthy habits. Now, most people find most healthy habits to be a little, shall we say, boring. Do you think you’d find them less boring if you were COMPETING over them? Earning points and trying to beat your friends or family? Yah, I would too, and that’s the whole purpose of this game, and this book.
Contestants earn their points by living healthy habits every day such as eating 5 small, balanced meals, drinking 3 liters of water, getting 20 minutes of exercise and 7 hours of sleep. This game actually wants to make you all around more healthy, so you also get points for communicating with team members and opponents, and for starting one healthy habit and stopping one unhealthy habit. The book, by the way, is endlessly entertaining, especially for a diet book!
All of our teams have snack cake-based names. The winning team, the one I happen to be on, is the Ho Hos. The Twinkies and Ding Dongs will do great, I’m sure, but will sadly fall short of Ho Ho perfection.
Game On!

.-= Pam´s last blog ..Game On Diet =-.
That’s right, we will! We have that baby weight to lose!
I am looking forward to observing all the trash talking. Good luck
.-= Nicole´s last blog ..The Demon of River Heights, by Stefan Petrucha & Sho Murase =-.
I wish I could blame mine on baby weight, but my baby is 10! Mine is just due to good old cooking and wine drinking. Never fear Jen, I am so totally competitive, I’m determined to not leave a single point on the table. The Ho’s will reign supreme!
.-= Sandy´s last blog ..I’m On! =-.
So sorry you are on a losing team! Welcome to Game On!
You don’t look like you need to lose weight to me. Good luck!
Good luck! I look forward to watching your progress!
Good luck — we’re all in this together right?
Ahem, I think you need a little reminder about who the true champs are…
