Tuesday=4 pts.
Wed, so far 1 pt. for exercise, 1 pt. for vitamins and the eating is coming along so far. And have one bottle of water to go for the day. May actually get in five today. Again, still have dinner to go but I have it planned. DD wants fried chicken so will fix that for her and DH and I am having a lean cusine pizza.
So far today, I've earned all 4 points, but won't count them until morning in case I go berserk and pig out later. I don't think it will happen, but you never know, lol. Controlling my portions at suppertime was hard. We had a casserole tonight that I really, really like, and only made it at Katie's request since she's missed my cooking. There are leftovers of it and I don't think I'll be able to sleep with that stuff in the house. I think I'll ask Neal to take it to Mary's. Staying OP is not easy sometimes. My exercise today was unloading all those blocks, and doing lots of yard work. Much harder than the gazelle yesterday, lol. I'll be back with day 2's total tomorrow.
I made it through yesteday by sending the casserole to Mary's. You can't eat what's not in the house, right? Today will be a challenge because we're going to a dinner at church tonight in honor of the music people. (Neal plays the guitar sometimes at church) I have no idea what's on the menu, but am allowing 10 points for it, and can figure it up once I get there. I'm thinking 5 for the meat, 3 for starch (potato or pasta) and 0 for free veggies 2 for fruit or other veggie.
Wed-4 pts.
Thursday-3 pts. so far. Have all my water down plus an extra bottle. For some reason I was really thirsty at while working out this morning and only take one bottle with me. So had to buy a bottle at It Figure. So far that's 5 bottles for the day! Eating is going good but not sure what is for dinner. Going to the neighbors party and not sure what food she will have-she did say there will be lots and she has a gourmet food business! So, we'll see.
Weekly total=8 (so far, not counting today)
Was thinking about this and decided...I will finish the week, well until Monday. Will count Tues-Sund for week 1 and then start the week 2 on Monday since that is the beginning of my week and also WI. So I will be short pts. for the 1st week probably. Oh well, we'll see. I should have waited and started on Monday to begin with, just wasn't thinking.
Well, I did great at the dinner, but then I had buttered toast when I got home, which was NOT included in on my points. And I didn't go the gazelle, either. I started to tell you that I didn't have time, but we all know that we set our own priorities, right? Somehow, I made time for the Will and Grace finale. On the bright side, I did drink my water, and took my vitamin, too. I really need to take water out of the challenge, since I don't have a problem with that. Anyway, only 2 points for me today.
I got my water in yesterday and that was it. I didn't even get the vitamin in which is the easiest thing to do!!
1pt. yesterday!
Total of 6!
Now this weekend I won't be paying much attention to anything but my daughter....so I will restart by Monday. I will also start a fresh new thread so it's easier to keep track of things.
Haven't checked in, but I have kept track. I got all 4 points on Wed. and only 3 on Thurs. (no exercise)
I'm with you Cristina on ending the week on Sun. I also started on Tues. I am going to continue to try to pour on the points until Sun. even though I won't hit 25....but it will be easier to start the challenge and the WI on the same day.
Starting a new thread each Monday sounds like a really good idea to me, too. Angie, what do you think about that, since you're the one who started the thread?
I got all 4 yesterday, if I count the yard work as my exercise. I do so much better with that kind of exercise, if you've noticed.
Sue - when I have pizza, I eat something "free" or nearly free with it to help fill me up. Just a thought. You're still doing well, though.
So our goal for this week is 24 points for perfect, instead of 28, right? Or how many to get the reward?
I like the Monday start day myself...Hey Ang where are you we sure do miss you!!
1- 3
2- 3
3- 3
Got some real good vitamins at the health food store yeaterday called Alive and upgraded my b vitamin to a b-complex specifically for stress--feeling better already--drinking 80 to 100 oz of water seems to make me feel better too!! Been using the Crystal Light to go--love the peach tea--counting the added calories and still trying to drink at least 20 oz of just plain water. Unless I step it up I am not going to get my 24 points in--I may just start fresh and use Mondays as Day 1 each week. I have been bad on the exercise!!
