Dad: if you have done significant outdoor farming labor I will give you your push-up point.
Looking ahead: Next Week is the 8 Veggies a Day contest.
Tips: look to soup for veggies, I have several recipes I can share that give multiple vegetable servings. Right now I'm roasting the veggies for 2 different soups in preparation for the week:
butternut squash, acorn squash and onion, roasted till soft, boiled in chicken broth with spices and then pureed
and
sweet potato, onion and pear, prepared the same way
These are pureed soups and I drink them for breakfast like I would a cup of coffee. I pour them into a pitcher so in the morning I pour it into a coffee mug and heat it up in the microwave and I can take it to go.
There is also traditional vegetable soup, minestrone etc. I like soup better than salad, especially when its cold out, and its just super fast and easy.
The Week After next is Date Night, so if you haven't done it yet, look at your calendar for the next 2 weeks and carve out a date night.
When you send in your weight and compliance please also send the number of points you have. That will be last week's total plus 5 if you are sugar compliant, plus 1 if you are push-up compliant, plus 1 if you remained water compliant, plus 5 if you have had blood-work done in the last year and haven't gotten those points yet.
The point system will be tricky to keep up with, especially Dad's, so if you can send me your totals that would be great! Once I have everyone's weight I will know who gets the 1 bonus point for most weight lost this week.
EXTRA POINTS:
Next week you can earn 1 bonus point by remaining water compliant and another if you reduce your ordinary sugar consumption by 75%, this way you can put back in some sugar but continue to reap the benefits of substantially reducing sugar in your diet. So that's 2 extra bonus points up for grabs next week.
