Melissa Orris had a great idea. I have had had several questions and posting them on the blog might be a good way to have these answered so that everyone can see them. That way if you have thought about the same question you will have it answered!
So here we go!
1. Does Stength training count toward excersise time? Also is it like yoga as far as heart rate is concerned?
Answer: yes it does count for your excersie time. And yes it is like yoga as far as heart rate is concerned.
2. Can I eat Peanut Butter or Butter?
Answer: Yes
3. Do I minus a point for each serving of a bad choice that I eat? (For example) If I eat three pieces of pizza do I deduct 3 points? or if I eat 3 cinnamon bears do I minus 3 points?
Answer: No only minus 1 point. But if you dip it in salad dressing....then minus 1 additional point.
So when you sit down to dinner..notice all of the things that might be bad on your plate...such as high fat cheese and sour cream. Then deduct one point for each of those things...not 1 per each bite or serving.
4. Do I lose points if I don't eat the healthier version of everything? For example can i eat a corndog or not?
Answer: I have thought alot about this. When I put a new rule out there...it is hard to see how it is going to go until I start getting questions from you! I think that if I start telling you what you can or can't eat. It gets really sticky. I hope that this competition causes you to want to choose the healthier option since you are trying to be healthy. I want to avoid you not eating the cheese but gorging yourself on corndots. But I can't really find a fair or easy way of regulating this. So the conclusion that I have come up with is this:
We are only going to focus on these things for this competition. Sour Creams, Salad dressings, cheese, chips and mayo. When choosing these options choose a low fat version. Including tortilla chips.
I hope this will help you not to stress out to much. If you have any more questions...post them under the comments and I will add them to this section!

ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie. I must be a slacker because I have just been realistic/real about everything. I make the healthier choice of everything and really think about what I am going to eat. If it is drownding in fat or grease then don't eat it. I try and drink all the water, eat healthier, exercise, no sweet's and all my veggies and fruit (which tend to feel you up so your eating more healthy any how). I think some might be over analyzing or thinking to deep, and I can see how that may be :). Just go with your best judgement and have a good time. If I mess up or what not then I just keep going and try to do better. I enjoy doing things like this with other women and for a push. This is great and anyone and all feed back is good. Thanks for all your work in putting this together and helping us out Jamie. Have fun ladies!!!!!
