At our Slimmers club we have a few incentives. When we weigh in, there are 3 containers to pay into. $1 to weigh in, 50c mini slim container. If we gain weight, $1 in the gain container. And if we gained the most that week, we have to pay whats called "The humpty $1". And whoever loses the most that week gets the contents of the 50c mini slim container.
Once a month we have a fruit night. We each bring a bit of fruit, and who ever lost the most that month gets the bunch of fruit.
Then every 12 weeks we have a major weigh in. Who ever lost the most in the past 12 weeks gets all the "Humpty" money.
If we all lose weight at weigh in one week, we go out to dinner [Courtesy of the Slimmers club from all the $1 weekly weigh ins] You guys keeping up? lol
This week i won the spoils of fruit. I don't really eat fruit. [I'm a vege person] I eat bananas and sometimes a bit of watermelon, green grapes or a blood plum. So when i win it, I kinda think "Awwww Man!" but on the outside i'm grateful. Then i bring it home and put it in my kid's lunches lol
This week it was mostly oranges. Some came from the bottom of peoples fruit bowls, but overall they were ok. So this morning i had oranges for breakfast. They were nice so i might do it again sometime :o)
I've planted some veges in the garden: Pumpkin, Zucchini and cherry tomatoes. I've got some capsicum to plant too, but i haven't prepared the area. I'll do that this evening. I should have planted everything earlier in the season, but we've just had a yucky heat wave. I didn't want the baby plants cooking out there in the sun! So, better late than never. There's nothing like home grown veges. I can't wait!
Jason was sick all last week with a phlegmy, tickly cough that kept him awake each night. He's mostly over it, but now i've got it. Last night, every time i lay down, i'll start madly coughing. I finally collapsed after 4am this morning, sitting up on the couch. Then i had to get up at 8am to get the kids ready for school. I feel like a zombie [Braaaaaaiiiins]
And now, as i've been typing this, i've just watched Nightmare on Elm St on Austar [cable] so i'm too scared to go and try to have a Nana nap lol
