THE PAIN OF DISCIPLINE OR THE PAIN OF REGRET, YOU CHOOSE!

Main Purpose of this blog!

This blog is for you! Our family and friends who need a little extra motivation when it comes to eating healthy and exercising. Most of you have seen the popular TV series The Biggest Loser and have noted the life changing events that have occured. We are going to do our own version of the biggest loser only we are calling it The Healthy Habits Challenge. If you are interested we are asking that you send 20 dollars to my cute mom Linda Brindley Chipman asap. The challenge will begin on Monday, January 10th, 2011 and goes for 8 weeks which means it will end Sunday, March 6th. The more who participate, the more money their will be in the pot. At 20 dollars each, it is going to add up fast, but all money aside we really want to use this blog as a place where we can post our progress and encourage each other with ideas of what we are doing to keep fit and healthy. Please refer to the "log in" information (on side bar) so you can post your ideas. Remember to read the rules carefully (on the side bar) as well as the Healthy Habits Contract (first post). Good Luck Everyone!

Free day REVISED!!!

One thing that keeps me going is having a "free day".  I know that everyone diets a little bit differently and maybe some of you are just staying as far away from the bad foods as possible.  For me, I have to have something to look forward to.  Now yeah, the money is a great motivator, but I need little short-term rewards too.  So Saturday is my free day.  That day I allow myself to eat anything I want.  So during the week when people talk about fast food and sweets, I just try to tell myself that if I can be good today...and tomorrow...and the next...THEN I can have what I want.

Good luck everyone!!!

Revision:  This morning I woke up and said, "Wait a sec!  I just suggested having a free day 2 days before a weigh in!!!"  I liked the comments posted about still taking a free day on Saturday but being mindful that there's a weigh in coming up very shortly.  (I also liked the person who is waiting for her $600 pizza--you are awesome!  I wish I had your self control :) ). 

So I have cleared my conscience...now I won't worry that someone was going to be mad at me for totally splurging on Saturday and then having the wrath of the scale on Monday!!!  As for me, I'm changing my free day to Monday, after the weigh in!!

    the money is enough motivation for me... I just tell my self... is that piece of pizza worth $600? or how much do I want to pay for that hamburger, $600... heck no!

    I agree with you. In fact this weekend is my birthday and my anniversary and we are headed to St. George on Sat. to celebrate. I am not going to worry too much about what I am eating, but won't go crazy either. I have been really good this week with my eating and working out and I will workout twice tomorrow to help make up for it. Hopefully the scale will be nice to me come Monday!

    I am liking that our weigh in is on a Monday because weekends are my hardest and if I have in the back of my mind that I have to weigh in on Monday, I probably won't splurge too much. Although, we do have 2 birthday parties to go to this weekend. YIKES!
