6:30 Jumpstart!

See you all this evening! I plan on doing O-Lifting at 4:30, then just hang around until Jumpstart. I'll be a regular gym monkey, or is it a gym rat?

Team workout?

Hey team. I was thinking it'd be fun to try to schedule a workout in which all of us could attend! It seems like a while since I've seen everyone [probably more my fault].

What works for everyone? Kettlebell on Friday at 5:30 is on my schedule for tomorrow.

Eating Out

Today I had a lunch meeting and was in quite a quandry as to what to order. I figured I would be safe with a salad, but also had to take into consideration portion size and what was actually on the salad.  So, I order as follows:  Chicken Sarwarma Salad with the chicken, pita chips and dressing on the side, which essentially left the greens on the plate. I ate my portion according to the "rules" and ended up with enough leftovers for 5 more meals.  A cheap lunch ($10) but got me thinking about how much I was eating previously. I wouldn't have finished the salad, but I would have made a significant dent in it, say half. And would have been full, if not somewhat uncomfortable and more then likely a bit sluggish.  Eating what I did was definitely satisfying, provided me the energy I needed to head into my next meeting, alert and ready to get something done.

Could it be bonus time, Baby?

Well, if yesterday's weight measurement is any indication, maybe. The massive consumption of greens is paying off. If you eat a heaping big salad bowl full of green leaves (aka leafy vegetables) two meals a day, you just don't feel as hungry. You don't eat as much high calorie food. You lose weight. Case closed.

Maybe.

Tomorrow is the acid test.

My Old Habit

As you all know (but I'm sure have forgotten), my old habit is complaining. I didn't get points Monday or Tuesday since I caught myself complaining about stupid things. However, since I lost those points, I have really been trying to pay attention to this old habit that I think contributes to a bad attitude. Anyway, I took my car for an oil change today. They were also checking something else for me. I planned to wait and eat my 3rd meal (that I brought with me), it was after 1:00 and I was hungry. I sat down with a magazine and my lunch bag with my tabbouleh with added feta (yum) and realized that I didn't have any eating utensils! I asked a few people who worked there, no one had any plastic forks or spoons. OK, I'll just suck on this mint that I found in the bottom of my purse, it's OK. An hour passes.... the old Sharon would have gone up to someone to ask sweetly and sarcastically if there's a problem, if that didn't work, the old Sharon would have complained to someone about good customer service or something. The new Sharon simply started strolling around the showroom. They called my name within a few minutes of stuffing down that complaint! Yay!

Rewards

I was just reading the Game On book and one of the authors suggested giving yourself a reward for reaching point goals. I thought that was a good idea.

Where's Martin?

Martin, are you out there? You never post! Miss ya!
