Am I the only one who wants 5 points?

I have been taking an exercise sabbath on Sundays and Sundays are usually one of my Free Range days, but those 5 bloggy points: not giving those up. So here's what I did right today: started the day with a 12 oz glass of water and multi-vitamin right off the bat; did not eat any of the freshly baked butter braids bread served at fellowship after church today; made my my favorite salad for dinner, had my husband buy extra fruit for breakfast tomorrow so that I would have something to mix with my yogurt, budgeted my range calories so that I could enjoy two homemade oatmeal cookies right out of the oven.

There's a bunch of stuff I didn't quite get right today (to be reflected in my point total for the week)....but, on a Sunday, I'm grateful for what I did right. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

  1. Boy I have been slacking on my blogging points lately! Thanks for the reminder. I too have been taking my free range days on Sunday, and not exercising. Oops, I forgot my vitamin too. Better go take that now, before the clock strikes 12. Have a great night!

  2. Melissa, I never exercise on Sunday. Obviously for Sabbath day reasons and also it does a body good to have a day of rest.

    Sunday is a great day to reflect on all aspects of our lives. Thanks for the great reminder.

    It's also nice to know that there is always a new day to wake up to!

  4. No exercise for me today, either. And I'm finding that because of the 3 hour block in church and my Sunday afternoon nap, I often have lower calories on Sundays unless we have Sunday dinner with our friends (once a month). Not that I could have pigged out today anyways after my 600 calories of frosting on Wednesday... Tonight I made pancakes for dinner for everyone else and made myself a chicken salad. It was yummy and filling and I felt fine passing on the pancakes. I did, however, eat a generous helping of homemade tapioca pudding. Yum!

  5. I love getting those points in too! I don't work out on Sundays but make up for it on the other days. It really is nice to have a rest day. Way to go on making such great choices. Healthy is the key!!

  7. My new trainer Paul told me today that you should take one day off a week from exercise. Audrey, maybe there should be 5 points for giving ones body a rest day and of course, Sunday is the perfect day to rest.
