General Diet Plans and Questions - Doing our Own thing ~ 30 day challenge!

Just a place for us to post our daily totals!

Recap of the plan.....

Here is how it's going to go. Starting Monday, August 12, 2002, we will try to do the 3 things that work. Food, water & exercise. You decide what your food plan is, how much water you want to drink and how much exercise you want to get every day. Every day you have the opportunity to earn 3 points.

1 point for sticking with your food plan
1 point for drinking the amount of water you decided on
1 point for getting some exercise.

Post out here every day with how many points you've earned for a given day, and I will keep track. We'll see who's doing the best after 30 days.

This is a very cool way to keep on track, because even if you don't do so great on food, you might still get in your water and exercise to earn the points!

Thanks to the 100# group for coming up with this idea!

Monday was our first day and the results are as follows:

Dyan: 3
Tiffany: 3
Tiger: 2
Huntress: 3
Cafe: 2
Jello: 3
Kayla, I am thinking she is not going to be an active participant due to her wild ways....:devil: But we shall see.

Nice job girls, let's see what happens with today!

Tiffany

:( I am going to do this today if it hairlips every cow in Texas!

sneaking in quietly...whispering...1 point for water...head bowed

...if it hairlips every cow in texas...LOL made my eyes water, ofcourse i have poison ivy on my eyelids...

....sneaking out...

2 points for Tuesday. Like I said, my food was bad.

Well, my FOOD wasn't bad, it was REALLY good. LOL...

Could I be winning!?!?!?! :eek: No! Can't be possible! But I had 3 points for Tuesday too!!! Neener neener!! Nanny nanny boo boo!!

So come on you guys! You gonna take that from me???

I thought I'd blown it last night with this wonderful chicken parm dish but it was chicken breast only and fat free shredded mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce and veggies. Once I figured out the calories, I found that I was still well within my limits for the day! Whew! :^: Water's not usually a problem and, with it being gym day, neither was exercise.

Doin' a little dance now ... Nah, you don't wanna see that!

I'm still working out the kinks for the food plan...that, and there's still some junk food left in my cupboards. :o

3 points for Wednesday!!!

I'm impressing the heck out of myself!! And I owe a lot of this success to you guys and this challenge!

:flow1: :flow1: :flow1: :flow1:

2 points for Wednesday.

(Way to go, Jello!)

1 for me. I did the water. NOW WHO THE HECK WOULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED?????

8 ounces of black death in every cup. :p

Interested in a rundown as of Wednesday?

Here goes:

Jello: 9/9
Dyan 9/9
Cafe 7/9
Tiffany 6/9
Tiger 5/9
Kayla 5/9
Huntress 4/9


Way to go girls. Huntress, a couple of perfect days and you will right up there!!! I think the interesting thing is that on any given day, we will be fluctuating due to hormones and life in general, it will be interesting to see the patterns emerge.

Perfect day for all of us! Let's do it!!
I'm working on a web page where you can view the contest stats. Let's see how that goes. I am not the most computer literate. LOL

Tiff

hey ya'll


doin the happy dance......3 points for thursday! yee haw for me!!! lol.....wel you know....its not amazing or anything..just good! lol!
lata
luv
Kayla

thursday...1 point :(
i've got that water thing down. i tell myself, one step at a time. drinking the water is a step. but then i do the "one step forward two steps back". :doh:

It is a CHRISTMAS miracle!!! I had a 3 pointer. BARELY. My food was excellent, I think my tummy was still bothering me, and the water is actually getting easier...*did I say that???* but the exercise came at about 10 pm, I went for a long walk. It was cooler outside than in the house. :lol:

I think when I am hot and cranky, I most certainly don't want to exercise. Blech. So, this weekend should be interesting. I honestly drink the water because of the challenge. I didn't drink it before, so this is doing some good, even if it is for 30 days. Well see what happens after that. Either it will be well on its way to being a habit, or we'll have to do another challenge for that Starbucks certificate!!!! YUM!

Have a great Friday!
T

3 points for Thursday!!!!! :cp:

The bad news is that it's Friday morning and I'm off to a bad start with that big ol' pastry that attacked me in the cafeteria this morning and forced me to eat it.

The good news is that the day is still young and I might be able to salvage my food point.

Ah, a personal challenge!!! :devil:
