Work has set up TWO challenges for us - we can participate in one or the other or both - I'm doing both. The first is a "pool" of money to be divided between all the participants who don't GAIN anything during the challenge. The second is a "pot" of money which will go to the "Biggest Loser" - measuring BMI rather than total pounds. I would like to win BOTH. And I'm up for some tough competition!
But I'm already on a roll - the first big piece is perhaps obvious - EAT OUT LESS OFTEN. I'm becoming a big fan of soup, also - just gotta watch the sodium intake. But even that is a FAR more healthful option than most non-soup meal options - especially when you consider most prepared food is high in sodium ANYway.
Fighting some serious puffiness with respect to both a migraine battle this week and some PCOS related hormone issues (which triggered the migraine). So the second big piece which is also perhaps obvious - DRINK MORE WATER! I have ALWAYS been bad about this. Now not letting myself drink anything - especially coffee - without first drinking at least a full glass of water (ratio of 2 to 1 for coffee).
The "weigh in" for the health challenge at work will be next Tuesday - so the "heavier" I am to start the greater my "advantage" at the start. BUT - I'm not waiting. ;) Will be just that much MORE of a challenge for me, right? But that much more of a reward, too, I believe!
Lord, train my appetites!
