-Whereas, for people like Mom, doing crunches during TV commercials is a non-issue, because they don't watch TV; and,
-Whereas people like Mom still do crunches each morning; and,
-Whereas people like Heidi have been doing 50 crunches and counting them as 50 sit-ups; and,
-Whereas people like Mike are doing real deal Holyfield sit-ups; and,
-Whereas doing 50 crunches is a heck of a lot easier than doing 50 sit-ups;
Now, Therefore, be it Resolved that I, Spencer J Blake, Creator of Drawn To Scale and the Blake's Biggest Loser competition, do hereby declare a new point category to exist, and it shall exist in addition to other point categories already in existence, and it shall read as follows:
"Do 80 crunches." It shall be worth 3 points, and it shall go into effect on Monday the 21st of June in the year of our Lord two thousand ten.
If players of the Biggest Loser have already counted points for crunches for week one of the game, let those points stand as they are, to absolve confusion and to acknowledge that those players were not meaning to exercise deceit.
Doing crunches during TV commercials, however, shall still be worth 1 point, because if you do that, you're still watching TV.
Please add that line to your spreadsheet (right click where you want it, insert a line, put in the three points, and call me or Eric if you have a question regarding how to format the new line so that it calculates points for you).
A few other items of business:
*Are people okay with the 6 glasses of water? I've always heard it should be 8, but Weight Watchers says 6. As of now, we've changed it to 6. Let me know if you think it should be 7.
*Anytime you post to this blog (provided you truly have something to say), you can count points for posting. A "picture of your progress" refers to pictures of you getting thinner, for example. Posting any ol' picture with your post doesn't count for more points. Commenting on others' posts is highly encouraged, but it's not worth any points.
*On a personal note, I did a couple things yesterday that I think are point-worthy. I spent a few hours helping a family move from an upstairs apartment to a house. I loaded and unloaded furniture and boxes a plenty. I feel like giving myself 5 points would be fair. Any objections?
*Also, I spent 2 hours mowing the lawn in mid-90s temperature with a real feel temperature at or around 100. I also feel 5 points for that event is fair. Any objections?
(For the record, I welcome you to propose point values for things you do that aren't on the spreadsheet, as I have done, if you feel they merit points).
*Whew*
I think that's it.
Great job on week one everyone! I'm excited to see how everyone's points stack up. It sounds like lots of you guys are really getting into it!

Jon will LOVE the mowing the lawn one. He definitely asked about that this week when he mowed.
Sure, SJ, take some moving points.
5 points for 2 hours of mowing sounds fair, since it sounds like you would be doing about the same work as walking a mile in that time (you certainly don't walk as fast behind a mower, but it isn't trivial, either).
Make us a new spreadsheet.
Also, when they say 8 glasses of water, it means 8oz glasses. That's 1 cup. If you have a big cup, you might actually be drinking more than 1 cup. So, I say, change it to cups instead of glasses. Then it won't be confusing.
I agree about emailing a new spreadsheet. A new spreadsheet with all the changes so far would help lessen the confusion that seems to still exist. And keep posting, peeps, with questions about changing/editing/adding to the spreadsheet as we need to.
