Your Goal:
And start keeping track of those points!!! See instructions at left.

Monday weigh in

18 to goal. Crap!! Up 3.
Next week I am starting the Gotta Wanna keep it off during the Holidays contest. (Stolen from the superfaband fit blog). I love the holidays. I don't love gaining weight during the holidays. Even if its only a couple pounds. That's a couple pounds in the wrong direction.

Each Monday you will weigh in and email me your code name, pounds to goal and your points from the previous week. I will post the info in a sidebar on the blog under your code name. Looser for the week sends the winner for the week a prize. (Something small). Like a hey good job! Card! Or whatever.
Points work as follows:

1 pt per hour of sleep 8pt max
5 pts for 30 min of exercise 10pt max
3 pts for am prayer
3 pts for pm prayer
5 pts for scripture study
1 pt per serving of fruit and vegi 5pt max
5 pts for only having 1 sweet
5 points for not eating after 8pm
1 pt for every full glass of water 6pt max
5 pt bonus YOU declare ie.. not drinking soda

55 points a day - mon - sat
45 points on Sunday (exercise rest)
Total available points for a week 340

Tell your sisters, friends or neighbors, the more the merrier for the holidays!
Think about it and email me your info next Monday.

Skinny vs. Healthy

I know I missed last weeks weigh in and none of you called me on it!!!! Thanks for nothing. What are you wrapped up in your own lives? It's ok I completely understand. I have been thinking lately about skinny vs. healthy. My whole ENTIRE life I've been aware of my weight. (gotta love the genes) I secretly hated and still kinda do those people that can eat anything and not gain weight. In Jr. High and High school especially I thought this just isn't fair...Wa_la welcome to your 30's and some of those super skinny eat anything you want in High School girls are not so super skinny. (Evil laugh enter here). I know I'm awful but I'm honest. However there exists still that gene pool that can (even in their 30's) eat whatever in the hell they want to. So UNFair... BUT BUT BUT. I have decided after an experience last week that just because they can have ice cream for breakfast, they never have to worry about their clothes fitting it does NOT mean they FEEL GOOD. They feel like crap! (At least the one I spoke to). As my friend Amy says Eat to Fuel not to Feel better. MY problemo is that for so long the sugar yeast bugs living in my body have convinced my brain that I can get more done if I had a little diet coke on board or that the ice-cream or chocolate bar or yummy warm bread is going to make me FEEL better and after busting my butt I 'deserve' to feel better. HELLO PRIDE. I don't deserve anything. God has given me this body as a gift and I need to take care of it. Saturday I pretty much had a free day which ended with some of Brian's homemade popcorn. By Sunday morning I felt like crap and then by the time I starved through church I came home and ate more comfort food. WHEN WILL I EVER LEARN!!!

I had a crazy day today and I actually avoided a doughnut at Bomans and it feels so good tonight to know I DID it. I was in the middle of screaming children and I did not give into temptation. While blog surfing tonight I was reading Tiffany's blog and she linked to her friend's blog where they have a contest going where not only do you get points for working out and eating right but for praying and reading the scriptures! What the ???? And then it hit me. Brilliant!!! If I really want to re-charge my batteries to have more energy to get more done. Diet Coke is not the answer. I need to 'go to the well'. My prayers are good but my scripture study has STUNK lately. SO game on! If you want the link let me know. I'm too tired right now to find it. Before I sign off BIG SHOUT OUT to Tiff for being within 6lbs of her goal weight!!! YOU ROCK SISTA!
