Hey guys: I finished at 165 this last week-not great but it could have been worse. I do't know what Dad's was.

About Thanksgiving: Think about waiving the dessert 3 points for Thursday through Sunday for everyone but still doing workouts and fruits and vegies, etc. Or we could do an extra 15 minutes of cardio for those days if we choose to have dessert. ( I know calorie wise it doesn't really compensate for a piece of pie but might remove some of the guilt.)

It also might be nice if we only had to work out 5 days a week for those who have night church callings and obligations or for us old folks who need a rest. Or we could give extra points for those who work out 6 days a week to make up for any poor choices through the week.

I think I would be more motivated if I was seeing any change at all on the scales--any at all. Any suggestions for me???

I talked to partner Jenn and we would like to allow treats during Christmas-you only get them once a year. Again, it could be a trade off with more workout time or eliminate the dessert/candy points for that month. Or you could do extra credit for those who choose not to eat any treats at all. Think about it.

Also is zucchini bread, banana bread, really a fruit??? Love, Mom
