Target Dunny, complete with ammunition accessory!
After I wrote the lines above late last nite...I nearly barfed! I'm not sure why...my guess is that my blood sugar was low and because I had waited longer than 4 hours from my last snack to eat, my body was pissed off at me. Eeeks!
Yesterday we had a workshop on the benefits of sleep. 7-8 hours is the optimal amount of sleep you should get. Any more or less and you'd be shortening your life span. Ouch! I get maybe 5 hours of sleep a nite, of which maybe 2 is solid sleep. They said that you should turn off all sources of light, even face your alarm clock away from you. I dunno...ever since I was younger I ALWAYS had to have the TV on. Even if the TV was just playing "snow". Yeah...sounds like Poltergeist, right? Hehehe! But I've tried to sleep w/ the TV off and I just can't fall asleep. Even when I'm at a hotel, I leave the TV on. :o
Your bed is only for sleep and for sex. You shouldn't be working or texting or anything else in bed. The first thing that came to my mind when I heard this was, "Gee, ummm there are other places to sex besides bed." Then again, I have a naughty mind and haven't done much sleeping of any kind for a long while now, for that matter. Hahaha!
There is a supposed 6-way tie for first place in the individual competition. I believe this is based solely on attendance of the workshops, extra credits, and journal entries. That means 6 people have gotten perfect 10's each week in eating 5 fruits/veggies 5x/week and exercised at least 30 mins. 5x/week AND have gone to every workshop and extra credit. I know that I've had perfect scores on everything. Now it's all up to the weight, fat loss and blood lab results. I've cut down on cholesterol laden foods (maybe only that spam musubi from last week), watch my fat intake, eat whole grains at least 3x a day, eat more fiber, eat veggies, limit fruits to 2 servings when possible, eat protein at main meals.
My starting weight 4 days before the challenge start was 240. Now my scale reads 216-217ish. :) My next goal is to get to 199 by Christmas Day.
Many people keep saying, "I can't wait to eat_____ when the challenge is done." I don't really miss any foods, but I have allowed myself to eat exactly 5 BBQ ribs from Costco on September 30th (last day of the challenge, then on Oct. 16 they announce the winners), with a spinach salad. I REALLY want BBQ ribs. Then back to eating good again the next day. Hahahaha!
Tonight I ate a lemongrass chicken sandwich from Bale' Sandwich. It's vietnamese/french sandwich, on a French roll, with lots of picked crunchy veggies. The roll is enormous but yummy and crusty, with just enough lemongrass chicken, not too much:
