I had apples with peanut butter for dessert last night.
Company events are a challenge now... kegs, chips, dips, and chocolates... had the cheese, crackers, fruits, veggies and the celebratory champagne instead.
I hear they make an alcohol-free version of Jell-O now.

If you need dessert on a regular basis to keep you from binging, maybe you could just change the nature of your dessert. Say perhaps, to a dessert with fruit in it. Like, JELLO with fruit or fruit with CoolWhip or fruit filled pie or just fruit as a dessert. Man those grapes are sweet.

Ok, got second day of climbing in at the gym, but unfortunately I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to classify yesterday's dinner at Perkins as fast food.
And I was excited because the Co-op was serving steamed collard greens at lunch today, but when I asked, the serving tray was empty. I did find a can at Town & Country, but it's 40% of the daily sodium so I'm debating donating that and trying to find a different can.
And that's why poor people have high blood pressure.

"The Men who Stare at Goats." is a funny movie. I might have to go see it again.
You are still on the books at Upper Limits. I would imagine that means they have you on record for belaying.

We can go to Upper Limits if they don't want to charge me $35 to verify that I can belay. I did all the V0 bouldering routes I could find, so I'm probably on 5.8's and 5.9's now too. I'll find out when I can convince someone else from work to belay.
Sarah is the only one with double vegetable points so far. Maybe I can find some collard greens yet and cook'em up and feed them to the Doughers.
Michele, you're completely right about the desserts. They should be allowed as a reward for exercising regularly, or maybe allowed one per week, or some such... I suppose the real trick is just learning to allow the occasional negative points. Anyhow, I say you should decide next week's challenge/bonus thingamajig and then decide who picks next, so it's not always me choosing.

And a little white whale on the go.

Well, I'm not in the challenge per se, but I did eat collard greens and sweet potatoes in the same day. And I just joined a Zumba class today. It was fun, but I bet we all look like fools...fools having fun.

Hey, those happen to be the same things I learned from the challenge. That, and I still run at 6am when my running partner doesn't show up. I guess I DO take my health pretty seriously. Filled the grocery cart up with produce because I couldn't think of a main course to cook. Then I wandered around the store looking for raisins. Then, I ran into Jason Field and Amy. They didn't know where the raisins were either. I love this town.
nto, does this mean we are going to Upper Limits when you come to visit? I'm on like 5.8+ and 5.9's

Things the challenge has taught me (or reminded me):
-I will binge on sweets if I deprive myself completely. I am allowing myself a very small sweet (one hot chocolate, one fun size candy bar etc) most days so I can avoid the urge to binge.
-I need to make a point to exercise more. It is VERY easy for me to come up with excuses not to exercise. The challenge helps me get some simply because I am logging/admitting to others when I do none for an entire week.
-It is mentally healthy for me to not take EVERYTHING so seriously and remember that people have good intentions.
I appreciate what I've realized, or been reminded of. And on another great note, Friday I plan to wear a really nice, size 10 black suit I bought in 1998. That is a huge motivation for me to continue with the healthy eating and exercise.

well, for starters, my faculty for rock-climbing has fallen drastically.
healthiest day yet:
breakfast: orange, bagel, yogurt, tea
lunch: garlic pepper pork w/ rice, salad, carrot, water
afternoon snack: pear
30 minute workout at the gym
(it used to be breakfast: bagel, lunch: wrap/sandwich and a coke)
plus the time I spent helping out with teaching climbing gave me a free month membership, so I'm good til vacation.
I think last night might just be the first time I ever made a salad for just myself.
...looks like I spoke too soon... another company dinner tonight.

We're making progress: Frank, Frankie, Edgardo and Roman we still need some sort of Christmas list from you, even if it's just sizes for clothes.
