Oh I hear ya on that!! In the back of my mind I swear my little points calculator disappears on the weekends and suddenly reappears first thing monday morning, its awful!!

(this is what my brain in thinking at least). Finding a way to do this without blowing all my hard work makes me feel good and also not deprived.
You know, I never use my 35 bank points or my exercise points (or should I say, I never actually write them down and count them!!) But maybe if I actually did save them and use them on the weekends, it would help me to stay on track better. I'm going to try that this week.

I also joined the self challenge yesterday, today was my first day doing it. They give you lists and how many of each item to eat, I tried it today instead of counting points, just to see how I would do. I did well and I just counted up how many points I actually ate for the day and I still have 7 left for the day, so I can have a little snack later.

I like that I can log my info on selfs website, since I don't have a WW membership and I'm also following there exercise plan.

Now I've just got to keep myself on track when the weekend comes!

Well for me that's what those flex points are for. Otherwise when the weekend comes I just say F it - I want to have fun and I end up being out of control. You don't have to do it but maybe it will help.

I signed up for the Self-Challenge too but then since I have a WW monthly pass I already track all my food and exercise points there. So I'm sort of overwhelmed with tracking! However I think for me I want to track on both for a day or two to try and figure out how many calories (not just points) I am actually eating. I think it would be very interesting...

That was a fantastic acronym Kashmira! I nominate you to become our "group" leader! LOL. You are so full of information!

 

Do any of you ladies track cleaning, laundry, ect as activity points?

 

I noticed it was in there, but kind of feel like it's cheating on activity points?

Thats exactly what happens on the weekend, I go out of control, but really if I didn't go totally crazy and used my extra points, I don't think I'd do too bad. And usually what happens is once I eat one bad thing, it just snowballs because I say "Oh well, I already messed up might as well continue". But really, I could definetly get myself to have a low point breakfast and a light lunch and still have plenty of regular points and my extra points to have some weekend treats.

I do like how self tells you the calories, but it is a lot of tracking to count points and track on self, but I'm trying to still do both.

I've never done this, it does sort of feel like cheating, but they do list it.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
