guinea pig time

How about a compromise, have a day off but not the whole
weekend. Michelle Ozzie in Switzerland

anyway - the eat more weigh less guinea pig is still
going......

i think I'm down 0.4 this week - and i'm feeling a lot
skinnier - but my scales have a loose wire which keeps
going so they're not all that reliable. However, I think it
may be working........so I'll be carrying on for another
week at least.

this weekend is my birthday though. Not sure how to handle
it - to have a proper weekend off for the first time in
ages, or to try and manage it within points. Actually, I'm
not sure I can loosen up enough to let go anyway.....but a
few drinks may influence that!

but having a weekend off won't help with the
experiment..........?

Happy Birthday!!! It doesn't matter which way you go with it as long as you
choose and decide and don't let it just happen, Lee

Happy Birthday!!

Congrats on 0.4 down! I don't think that a weekend off would
cause too much fluctuation in your experiment ;-)

You've been doing this long enough to make good choices, so
it's not likely that you will go back to old eating habits
and even if you do your body won't need as much quantity. If
you feel a weekend is too much then give yourself a 24hr
period (say Friday night to Saturday night-or whatever works
with the schedule you'll be keeping).

Well, you are playing both Madame Curie and the
experimental creature
- Madame Frankenstein. But it appears to be paying off.

Have a smashing birthday. Good luck with the next week of
experimentation.

Try to be good during the meals when you 're not
celebrating, like breakfast, maybe lunch. (0 point soup ?)
And then, let yourself have a nice brithday dinner and a few
drinks and most of all: enjoy! Monday back on track with a
lower point day, and basically you would be doing a wendie
plan. Good luck, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Not a bad idea. Right now I think I'll try and manage it within points, but
not consider it a disaster if that doesn't happen.....if you see what I
mean. At least I know that food on Saturday night will be sashimi - so I'll
not be going too far wrong there anyway! 🙂

I'm going away for the weekend so I'm going to take a

myself too 🙂

Beats me Krys, I am so far behind it isn't funny. I hope the
guinea pig test does work out for you, sounds like it is so
far. I wasn't able to join you in this experiment as I had
planned. Life has managed to get in my way once again. Too
dang busy around here to eat. <sigh> Now why didn't I have
that problem years ago? <g>

Happy, happy birthday! Go on and celebrate, if you want.
It's only one day and only comes once a year. Instead of
taking the entire week-end off for your birthday, how
about just taking one day off? Kind of like a compromise?
Heck. If you're trying to eat more anyway, one day will
probably do you some good. Just don't do it the day before
you weigh in. <G>
