Morning, troops!
Well, just barely. I am actually home sick...or semi-sick, tonight. That headache I had last night just did not go away, and kept me up a good portion of the day. So it didn't take much urging on the part of my DH to call in. I feel better, but still kind of puny. Skipped my workout...and I really feel guilty about it for some reason!
Group Activity for Week of 10/5-1714.5 Minutes! Woo Hoo..you guys are kicking some serious hind end this week!
One of the topics in our 'play book' is dining out. This has proven to be a challenge for some of you. Exactly what is causing you problems? Menu choices? Watching other people eat food you shouldn't have? The basket full of hot bread they seem to bring at every restaurant these days? Not sure what is SBD friendly? Thinking that a meal out is an excuse to overindulge?
We don't often dine out, so this has not been too big of a problem for me. But with our upcoming cruise I am worried I will completely fall apart! Seven days of bad food choices could do some serious damage...and I don't want that to happen.
Share with me some of your dining dilemnas! What gives you grief at a restaurant?
Tomorrow I'll post what I can find about successful dining out strategies and we'll see if we can learn some good stuff.
Ellis, is Canadian Thanksgiving like here in the States? Too much food, too much family, too much of just about everything?
Robin, exercise is tough no matter what, but if it bores you then you really have a problem! I won't exercise in front of my family either, so don't feel alone in that. I finally got exercise videos that I can do in private....and it is working for me.
Ruthie-still no pedometer, huh? And you mean to tell me it isn't directly connected to your feet? How do you manage to get around?
I thought of you the other day when I saw a pedometer clip in a catalog...that would stop it from straying too far!
Leslie-the exercise you are describing is one that is included in that link to "No Crunch Ab Exercises" I posted yesterday. I think they call it the plank. That one really does work all the core muscles without any bending at all! I should incorporate that one into my workouts!
As for the rest of you recruits, way to go!
You are all doing so well...makes me stick out my chest with pride! Yes, it really is stuck out even if it doesn't look like it!
Have a great day!
