    This thread rocks! 

    Happy 50th Zogo.  (I turned 50 last June).  I've had birthdays at work and traveling last week just didn't help with food choices, although I got a lot of exercise in.

    Exercise - 10 hours - 20 points

    Water - only 5 days this week - 5 points

    Friday check in - 3 pts.

    Weight gain - 0 pts - 131

    Nothing to earn extra credit for this week.  SOOOO, my total for the Rockin' Robins is 28 points

    Sheila. I have understood that you compare this Friday's weight to last Friday's each & every week. So if you are down today from last week you earn two points. When it is an all time new low, you earn the magic THIRD point!!!! That's my understanding & the way I've been tabulating our Hummingbirds all along.

    I just love Fridays and seeing how everyone is doing!!

    For my personal report:

    Weight up: 0 points

    It's frustrating to see that I can regain what it took me 2 weeks of dedicated effort to 'lose' in 4 days on the road. I used my daughter's scale this a.m., so that may enter into the equation even further -- but it is safe to say that I weigh more today than my all time ELAB low last week.

    Friday check-in: 3 points

    Exercise: 7 hours = 14 points

    Water: 7 points

    Extra credit point: before going out to lunch with a friend, I looked up their menu on line to choose a selection based on the 'bottom line' calorie count, as deducted by their nutritionist -- rather than my magic thinking. Planning ahead = 1 point

    Total = 25 points

    Roadrunner Checking In

    Friday Check In          3pts

    Weight  134 lbs           2pts (down 2lbs from last week)

    New E-LAB low          1pt

    Exercise                   14pts

    Fluids                         5pts

    Extra Credit                1pt (see below why I feel this may apply!!)

    Total                         26 pts

    Just to clarify - I had a stomach flu during the week which is probably why I had a weight loss, it is also the reason I didn't do so well with exercise.  I actually did reach my fluid intake everyday however there were two days that it didn't stay in there long enough to be counted Frown .  On the other hand I think an extra credit point may apply as I did follow 'the 10 minute rule' on the 2 days that I was ill-est (a little motivational tip I got on the aptly named 'Motivation' Thread - no matter what excuse you could use try to exercise for at least 10 mins everyday).    

    Sheila - my captain, my captain - I'll let you to adjudicate.

    Meece - my esteemed leader - congratulations on the new arrival - the 5 in that second place!!!!

    MaiTai - Don't be disheartened - we all know how difficult this is. As Meece said you didn't give up and that is what counts - sending you lots of cyber supportLaughing , just take control of each hour, meal, temptation as it comes along.

    Love to all my fellow Éaníní (little birds) especially Team Roadrunner!!!  Have a great week.

    Way to go, Ainm.  I guess I should get antoher point for hitting my E-lab low.  Sure makes me feel good considering I had been on vacation and yet the following week I still made a low.

    My calculations were based on my mother's scale so I double checked and yes, I am at my lowest in at least one full year!

    But Seaside, it will give you a 6 pt head start so it's all good!  It's the only reason I don't mind shovelling now because it forces points on you. 

    Great going all.

    Extra credit - We had Dunkin Donuts delivered to the office today.... a full two dozen. The chocolate with cream filling, the raspberry filled and some glazed, chocolate cake... you get my drift.

    I'm really trying to watch what I eat and add extra exercise. I've been recording exactly what I've been doing every day and I can see where I need changes. This thread has helped tremendously. Thanks all....

    Roadrunner checking in - Beep, Beep!

    Friday check-in 3pts

    No loss, but no gain! 1pt

    Water - 5 pts - not sure I got it on the other two days - felt too dry, so prob not

    Exercise - YAY, finally! - 2 hours - 4pts

    PT, twice this week - 1 pt for being good to myself

    14 pts total - yay, yay, yay!

    Still can't do exercises with my arm - so nothing that works the biceps, triceps, chest or back.  Waah.  Legs and abs, lower back and butt - that's it.  Still catching up on "stuff" so little other cardio or bouncing this week.  Next week crazy - 6 days work - minimum 48 hours - probably 60.  Sigh.

    Oops, I did drink the water 6 days last week, must have forgotten to post it.  Sorry. 

    On the other hand I just got in from trying out my Dad's old snowshoes on the 8 inches of fresh powdery snow we got yesterday and last night.  It was fun!  Definately a work out, even just wandering about the 2 acre property.  My legs and butt are certainly feeling like they've been doing something different!  I have definately got to get a pair of ski pants and some better boots, but this is the time of year to find that stuff around here.  So, next week should be better on the exercise points, anyway!
