(no subject)
I've been floundering on the diet for some time now, as you've probably guessed by the lack of my mentioning it. Getting involved in the contest did not motivate me like I'd hoped, it only added an additional note of embarrassment and anxiety to my week. I've been bouncing up and down within the same 5 pound range for weeks now.
Yesterday I enlisted Ian's help with this thing. From now on, I will be reporting in on whether I've met the following daily goals:
1. Wrote down everything I ate
2. Measured and counted points for any non-Core food
3. Stayed within target points for the day
4. Did not break any Core rules
5. Completed all the check boxes in my food journal (water, fruits/veggies, dairy, healthy oil)
6. Earned at least 3 activity points (5 days out of the week)
Consequences will be the same as for sugar infractions.
We are doing this for a two-week trial period to get me through the end of the contest (which I have no hope of winning at this point, I'd just like to redeem myself a little bit for the sake of my team and my own self-respect.) After that, we'll re-evalute how we both feel about it. This being more complex than a simple sugar ban, it may turn out that I can't handle being so restricted. On the other hand, it may be just what I need.
