What are some challenges you have coming up?

August 19, 2004

We might as well start planning ahead now, right?

What are some challenges you know you have coming up that may serve to

derail you on your eating and/or exercise program? Share with us three or

four challenges, and then brainstorm ways to deal with them.

Here are some of mine. As you know, I are a teechur and school is

starting...

1. Donuts at the staff meeting...and they always look SO good!

I will bring with me a Baker's Breakfast Cookie and some awesome coffee and

eat that slowly. It tastes better, is better for me, and is less points than

a donut.

2. Getting busy with the start of the new year means it's harder to get my

workouts in.

I will continue to swim and do aerobics in the morning and will write up an

exercise plan each week for my afternoons. I will leave work on time and

only work AFTER I've gotten MY time at home. I will not attend any meetings

that are after my scheduled work time. Call me selfish, but it's my time and

only I will decide how I use it.

3. Potluck at one of our work days next week.

I am going to make my almost fat free zuchinni brownies so I have a dessert.

In addition, I'll bring my own soup and sandwich and if it turns out there

isn't anything points friendly, I'll eat that. I might also bring a bunch of

cut veggies to share so I know there will be that. I will concentrate on the

company, not the food, so I am not tempted.

4. The fair is coming up!!! That means FAIR FOOD!

I will save my flexpoints and decide on one " treat " that day, and make sure

it works within my points. It'll probably be a scone because I love scones

and they aren't very high in fat. I'll just ask for no butter. I will bring

along granola bars and fruit for snacks.
