Now I have an avocado.
Whats sitting in our kitchen right now, or was.I have to deal with this ten fold, for some reason our southern customers decide that the time between thanksgiving, Christmas, Mardi Gras and Easter is the best time to keep our pantry fully stocked. I've been known at times to just scoop it all in the garbage at the end of the day, when I'm the last one left. I still have trouble avoiding it though, especially on those rough days.
For those, like me, who can be weak in a time of stress we should have an accountability correction. Last year Meagles and I had an agreement where we'd do like 10 burpees for every sweet consumed, and I'd like to see if anyone else is up for that this year. Of course you can throw in an option of cheat days for thanksgiving day and xmas, but if we're sticking to this paleo anyway, it might help.
Dole you should squat 300 pounds 1 time for every sweet you eat.

ReplyDeleteSome food for thought http://whole9life.com/2009/01/burpees-vs-cookies-%E2%80%93-nobody-wins/
ReplyDeleteAnd a couple other ideas that may or may not suck and may or may not be useful/motivational:
1) If you are a COMPETITIVE person, every time stress tempts you towards candyland think about the fact that if you eat the candy you are probably going to lose this contest and then everyone is going to mock you for it.
2) If you are a TEAM PLAYER, every time stress tempts you towards candyland think about the fact that if you eat the candy you are going to let down every other person out there who committed to this 6 week snack-a-thon with you, and who are counting on your support.
And if the 10 burpee penalty is just what works best for you, then we're all here to help with accountability burpee counting, regardless of whether or not anyone else climbs in your boat.
Dole, you should start putting out avocado by the candy just to see if anyone touches it and then eat it yourself. I like to do things like that at work just to sort of make my own silent statements. I also put the label "poison" on the sugar and powdered cream canisters by the coffee machines, just to be an ass. It was fun and taken down quickly. One person even pulled out a new sugar bottle to avoid using the "poison" one. Made my day.
ReplyDeleteif you wanna do the burpee thing, I'll do it with you but lets make this a punishment 100 burpees!
ReplyDeleteor 300lbs squat
ReplyDeleteAshley, I bought in fruit last year for my birthday when everyone else brings in cakes and cookies. Not even homemade stuff like I used to, but that artificially moist covered in gloppy buttercream crap from Jewel. Noone at the fruit, but I had snacks at the office for a week.
ReplyDeleteAshley that is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI'm in for the burpee thing (not 100 though!). I hate burpees more than anything else in life so that would be good motivation.
