The Weekend Whiner ChaLLenge

CAN YOU HANDLE IT?!?!?!?!?!

"Boohoo, I have a party to go to, and I can't stay OP."

"Boohoo, it's too HARD to stay OP on the weekend."

"Boohoo, I don't know why I can't lose any weight ... I only skipped journalling for three days."

Well, cry Stellamama a long and salty river, it's not THAT hard to stay OP on the weekend!

Here we go:

We start after lunch on Friday, having saved a few points because we are smart and know that the weekend holds several gardens of earthly delights in store.

Take your points for Friday post-lunch, all day Saturday and Sunday. Add them up. Now ... here is the truly astounding part: we are going to PLAN those points are going to used over the weekend.

Divide them into seven units, this-a-way:

But but but... you think ... how do I divide them up? Wellllllllllllllllll ... you have idea what's coming up schedule-wise, so you are gonna be smart!!

At this time ... I'm gonna be.... So I'd better pLan for ...
 Friday night ... out at the pub with everybody from work ...  12 pts
 Saturday before noon  ... sleeping off last night ... 0 pts
 Saturday noon- 6 pm  ... shopping and cleaning ... 10 pts 
 Saturday 6 pm - bed  ... going to Scooter's BBQ ... 16 pts
 Sunday before noon  ... having mom to brunch ... 14 pts
 Sunday noon - 6 pm  ... napping and reading the NY Times ... 4 pts
 Sunday 6 pm - bed  ... laundry & not drinking ... 6 pts 

What's that you say? You don't have enough points? Then build in some activity for extra points! This is not rocket science!

AND ... if you drink 500 ml (2 cups) of water in each of those 7 units, you'll just barely get enough water to get by. Drink 750 ml (3 cups) per unit and make me proud!

Now I don't wanna hear ANY whining about staying on program for the weekend. If you can't do this, well, I guess you don't really want to lose weight. I'll leave it at that. Take the challenge or don't -- no skin off my hiney!
