Bonus Points
Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all doing well to the challenge.
I have to say this is a tough time of yr. for me. At my job, there is a lot of year end processing stuff to get done. So, Wed., Thurs., & Fri. I worked on avg. 12 hrs each day, plus the 2hr commute roundtrip. But Friday, I stayed focus and didn't eat any junk. Very proud of myself as it was 10:30pm before I left work and didn't have any dinner. Very easy to say, oh let me have a chocolate bar.
Now Saturday, I had to work at a biz that I opened. Left the house at 8:00am to get supplies, mostly food for the biz. While shopping for the biz, made sure to pick up stuff for me, as I know we only sell concession stand type snacks. Well, it was sooo busy, didn't even have a chance to heat my soup. One of the birthday parties had leftover cookie cake and from habit, ate one of the pieces in between customers. Can of low sodium, low fat soup still in the can. I was soooo pissed. I didn't want to tell you guys. Thought, ah, they'll never know. But I can't do that. I let myself down and all of you too. Sorry about that.
I am confused on the bonus points. I thought once u screwed up you were out from getting any bonus points and now I just read a post here and it seems u earn 4 points for everyday that you stick to the bonus challenge???
Now, I am doubled bummed because, I had to work at the place yesterday and had a diet soda and water. But if I had realized i was still in for points, wouldn't have had the soda.
Yesterday, I did an hour at the gym. 15 minutes walking at 4.5mph and then I ran for 40 minutes at 6.1mph, cooled down with 5 minutes at 4mph and then real cool down for 2 minutes at 3mph.
Today is a new day.
I plan on hitting the gym later today as I had to start work this morning at 6:00am.
Again, between my biz & my regular fulltime job ( with the hours 7-4pm), then to come home and 4 out of 7 days go to the biz I opened, it has really screwed up my schedule.
Use to work out in the morning from 5 - 6:30am, come home shower and leave for work at 8:00am. But changed my hours because of the kids & biz.
NO EXCUSES HERE!!!! Just trying to readjust my schedule.
Okay, I am soooo proud of my kids. My one daughter doesn't try anything new and very picky eater. Not the best veggie or fruit eater like my other daughter. Though, for a snack she will ask for a yogurt, apple and she only drinks water or watered down apple juice. Well, the other day her cousin had a strawberry smoothie at tgif and she had the same. I was shocked as she only drinks water or apple juice. Well she loved it. Now, I know tgif is not a healthy smoothie, but she wanted to make them at home. So, we bought low fat yogurt,strawberries, blueberries, bananas, pineapple(she likes that too, must be the apple thing) and we made a smoothie and she loved it.
I also made a chocolate protien shake and told them it was a chocolate shake, they loved that tooooo! woohoo, get them eating healthy. I always tell them about health in regard to food, not about wt or being thin or fat. Don't want them to get hung up in that, but mostly want them to take care of their bodies with nutritious food and understand the importance of eating healthy food.
Now if I could only practice what I preach!
Okay, hopefully, I can still earn bonus points.
. But of course now that I am awake I am glad that he got me to go
