    **ok, don't let the 16 points fool you. I really don't have any points left. I added up my chocolate (m&m) mishaps from this week - today and Friday- and I'm going to try to make up the points by the end of the week. That's why I have no points banked. I can do it if I'm careful. And I feel good about that.

    another point - I've noticed on days that I overeat I have trouble getting my water in!
  • Rabbit: Grad student for 7 years = lots of doing stats + lots of teaching stats = WEIRD, obsessive, sick person But seriously, I don't know if it is a good idea or not. I think it is for me, but if you "fall off the wagon" one day (or several!) it can be VERY discouraging. Kind of takes away from the NO GUILT idea, unless you are very easy on yourself For example, I am going to try to make up the 10.5 extra I had last week, but if I don't do it by Wendesday, I think I will bag it!

    LBH: You rock!
