Didn't get a chance to post yesterday.
More or less worked a swing shift and missed dark shadows. Hopeful
they'll run it again in bit.
Weigh in at our T.O.P.S I was shocked I
was up, only ½ pound. But up. I know we just got back from state
gathering. But I'm tired of talking about it, and it time to move on.
I'll be doing the next contest in our
group.
Here is how the contest will work.
It will last 8 weeks.
Everyone will put a dollar in pot. I believe we have 15 members. But
the one who loose the most weight for week and the one with highest
point for week, will put .50¢
The
way one can earn points is to these healthy task.
All
of these task are worth one point....Keep Journal, Health Breakfast,
Health Lunch, Health Dinner, Portion Control (1 point for each meal),
and, just being you, and these two are open points....for every 12 oz
of water you drink and for every 15 minutes of physical activity 1
point.
Then
on Tuesday if you weigh in 1 point, but if you loose or maintain 2
points, and also stay for meeting 2 pts.
Usual
we give it a test run to see how it works and take out any kinks.
Actual
at end of the 8 weeks, any K.O.P.S or make status will receive 5
bonus points, and so will anyone who loose 5 pounds.
The
pot will be split for biggest weight lost and highest points.
Only
one naughty snack a cookie at Regis, Even when I was walking though
Super One I was thinking what sort of goodies I could purchase. But
didn't.
Breakfast
bowl of grapenuts and strawberries
Lunch
cheese and onion sandwich, banana, and tapioca pudding.
Dinner
barbecue ribs, fresh beets out of our garden, and bake potatoes.
Had
milk on cereal, butter on potatoes
Just
finish going though anther section of Philadelphia in 1850 census,
Frankfort area. Now starting to go though GERMANTOWN My
2nd great grandfather worked in shoe manufacturing. About
1850 the way SHOES were
made changed.
One
thing I notice this year around the area lot of dogs and cats are
covered with fleas. Couldn't fine fleas powder, so I bought a spray.
When
I was in Safeway. Starbuck was offering sample of dessert and I walk
on by.
Confession
time...I sure want to turn around and have a goodie.
Coffee
is on
I've worked in two separate shoe manufacturing factories, from 1986 to 1999. At that time the second factory closed and moved its operation overseas to third world countries where labour was cheaper, so we all lost our jobs except one or two supervisors who went overseas to supervise setting up of the new factories. It was the best job I ever had.
ReplyDeleteCheese and onion sandwich - now, if that's grilled cheese and fried onion - it sounds good!
ReplyDeleteEverything in moderation, I reckon. I know that if I don't occasionally reward myself, I'd end up bingeing at some point! ;S
ReplyDeleteHow much are you wanting to lose? The contest seems to me fairly regimented. I tend to not like the counting calorie/food item sorts of efforts myself. My wife does, and she is always moving from one system to another (like Weight Watchers, for instance). I wish you success in what you hope to do in regards to weight loss. I know it is a very difficult thing. I was always very heavy (at my peak, almost 300 pounds). Fortunately, I found a way for me to get down to a normal BMI of 180... about 8 years ago now. My plan works well for me, but it is very open ended and really focuses for me on avoiding the high calorie things that I really do not like (fried food, butter) and being more moderate than I used to be in the things that are high calorie that I do like (cake, pie, etc). It is still sometimes a struggle for me (as for anyone who has or has had a weight problem) but it usually is more than not a struggle when I am feeling emotional (usually lately it is due to being in social situations I am not wanting to be in, or when I am bored).

Time to find some goodies that are better for you. Plenty of recipes on the internet for that sort of thing.
