The document describes a 6-week incentive program called "The Game of Real Life". It includes a game board, directions on how to play by completing exercises, meals, snacks and approved drinks to move spaces on the board each day. It also includes rules, challenges and pep steps to catch up if a day is missed. The goal is to make it from start to finish on the game board by completing daily tasks and seeing visible results from the initial self-assessment to the final one.

What
you
will
need:
A
way
to
keep
your
place
on
the
game
board.
My
personal
favorite
are
s6ckers,
but
using
a
pen
to
mark
the
spaces
will
work
as
well.
