~WIT's bring in November...don't FALL behind~
WIT rules-Calvinball made simple
Summary: 1) there are no hard and fast rules, we do "whatever it takes" 2) we have mini-challenges, none of which are required, but we encourage participation (see our siggys at any given time) 3) for those in loss mode, our goal is losing every week, doing "whatever it takes" and maintaining for those in maintenance 4) YOU tell US what you need to succeed and we provide it (encouragement, buttkicking, a true beating....) and vice versa 5) All welcome! Come on in! It's very comparable to Calvinball. (in otherwords, anything goes because peskie says so, for real..... and we’re not above making it up as we go along) If somebody says it's "in the rules" and you can't find it here, don't be alarmed, some rules are hidden in the subsections. Just trust a WIT Cuteness shall cover a multitude of sins. (good thing WIT's are cute) You must say bye 4 times prior to leaving. WIT's are above getting sick, we've veto'd sickness unless it's required for getting out of bad things Mini-challenges: lets make this easy. do what we tell you when we tell you we can agree to disagree!!! Unless it's peskie, then you must agree. (in the rule book, ya know?) peskie is allowed to talk in 3rd party talk. to peskie: no YOU need to tell Peskie to get back to work!! You’re the only one she listens to... If a snort escapes when trying to prevent laughing out loud, it’s called a snortlet. Don’t feel guilty for playing here while at work, as long as you’re getting the job done. According to the rule book page 11 para 4.11 If a Wit is going on a ROMANTIC getaway then laptop is optional. Fluttering is wit wings cheering you on . Halos don’t work for Tammy-Ro It’s okay for peskie to steal smileys Page 12 para 4.12 "If you go away (unless it is a romantic getaway), you must find a hotel in advance with wireless connections and check in that way. If there is no hotel in the area with wireless, then you are going to a too remote location and that is not permitted". page 25 para 1.4.4 on how to reset a circuit breaker....(insert running away smilie here) Peskie add to the rule book under how to check a circut breaker....Getting rid of varmits 101....TIA ….choleric’s could graph his habit's and haunts for you, ask her... Page 25 para 1.4.5 on how to change filter in AC. Also change once monthly during the summer season. Chapter 2 para 1.1.2 Gains are water, losses are FAT!!! : the rule book says unless you ask permission and there is not another WIT out you must check in at minimum daily Yes, it's in section II part A. section 3, Part A, line 89 right after Gain = water Loss = fat the only pounds that count as lost is the ones subtracted from starting weight and or siggy weight. So if I gain 3 and lose two I can;'t be claiming a 2 pound loss. I gotta claim a 1 pound gain. Making sure we are all on the same page. Losing pounds from a gain DO NOT COUNT. :trips and falls off soapbox:: I think no matter what type of program you're on, portion control has to be in there somewhere or you'll just keep losing the same lbs over and over. Ultimately we all have to learn that we don't NEED certain foods just because a particular program says we can have them. If they aren't good for us, we need to learn to live without them You can’t really be a WIT unless you’re missing your sanity (peskie excluded, of course). Wit’s aren’t “normal” no no no, pictures don't lie EXCEPT when they make us look BIGGER than we are. there is no making us look smaller, nope nope. you are hot It’s okay to call Lisa doody ALL WITS ARE HOT PERIOD END OF STORY! WIT’s are more important than work. Section III. Part A. 89. WITS always come first no matter what other obligation, appointment, minor or major emergency you may have. Penalty for igorning this rule is major boot kicking from WIT on Boot-kicking duty. If said WIT in violation is offender then boot kicking will fall to volunteer WIT (s). PM when you want to talk about someone! Once a WIT always a WIT unless said WIT cuts ties voluntarily by publicly rejecting the WIT group. Then WIT status is revoked. And the recent amendment also adds that Peskie will get her scary spiky boots out, I will make the rounds in the WIT van and we will COME PERSONALLY TO YOUR DOOR to kick some sense back into you? So see you have no CHOICE in the matter. You're here to stay. That is all. first duty of Pam and Landis is to check in with us when she gets to work? Okay, get the rule book out somebody. “I may have to SHUT the computer down so I don't keep comin' back to it every few minutes though while getting things done around here, ” These words are against WIT principles and a direct violation of rule 1.25.355 Section 7.9.607 the new "Catch" diet! You throw your food up in the air, and you get to eat everything you can catch before it hits the floor! Oh no you can't throw the plate....that's a complete violation of the rules! You can only throw the food, but you must throw the entire meal at the same time! You burn more calories that way! The 2nd Monday of each August is official make it up as you go along day....everybody is challenged to add one rule to the book during normal conversations. Landis gets the award for most rules during first challenge Pam attends next WIT adventure. Shopping counts as approved method of aerobic activity. (Looks in the WIT rule book feverishly). Um lemme see yep whining is allowed!!!! Is it sewious enough for a pm or can I be publically punished? Only if it is about Landis. Rule book page 30 Para 3.4.1 2 wit's aren't allowed to be out at the same time!! a good 5 second rule should be applied before anyone quotes me... True Wits always check in because it says so in the rule book. (email counts!!!!) no stinking test. It's not in the rule book Tammy-Ro If you don’t check in while away, it will be awhile before you will get to go anywhere again I have another new word to add to the rule book, please! You know how sometimes a smile just has to turn into a giggle....I hereby deem that a "smiggle"!!! I second the motion. :smiggle: I need a gavel.... 89. WITS always come first no matter what other obligation, appointment, minor or major emergency you may have. Penalty for igorning this rule is major boot kicking from WIT on Boot-kicking duty. If said WIT in violation is offender then boot kicking will fall to volunteer WIT (s). WITS have to come before Kimmer! Rule check please! The scale is a tool, not a report card. I sure am glad it's only a TOOL and does not rule my life! (This should be in the rulebook Peskie jus' sayin') The scales do NOT rule our lives Yapping is encouraged...(Rule book addition please) sec 429 Again, we DO celebrate , clap for , high-five and sing victory songs for any WIT that succeeds no matter whether we can relate or not and we usually can relate anyway!!! (Peskie add that to the WIT newbie handbook so they know ) Landis is boss of self, and no one else. Except when RG and Peskie override simultaneously. WITS feel better and have more energy when they exercise I usually don't WANT the crap until I tell myself I can't have it and push myself to a time frame on hitting goal. Then I eat crap and binge and gain quickly. When I tell myself I CAN, I usually leave it alone. (unless it's a big craving and then it's actually worth it and I don't overeat it, but savor it and don't gain anyway Odd work schedules need to be in the siggys, so we can “keep up” landis says so. I suggested we change the word "cheat" to "carbed up" in the rule book. Seconded on 1/6/2006 don't regret the gain. Don't KICK ME!! The important thing is fessing up, giving and getting support and not let a slip be the end all of my weight loss for the rest of my life. I'm probably gonna cheat again but not for a long time. Oh and another thing I am not saying cheat anymore. It is forever known from this minute forward as uping my Carb intake!!!! (Peskie could you add this to the rule book under gaining is water? Thanks.) read the book. It will be very difficult to be successful on low carb without reading the book of your plan of choice. Page 59 para 6.9 If you have a dream/passion you should go for it, it IS possible but only if you want it BAD! Page 62 para 11.1.2 When landis does not want to eat something weird is going on (Peskie add to rule book) We come before feeding the family. In the rule book, page 250. once you get your SSP you let the person know who sent it that you got it and to email you too. Once everyone has their SSP we do a reveal. It's in the rule book already Pam is the leader in our verbage.... She earns a crown for that. Page 283 para 12.3.4 200 calories at 2 pm is NOT the way to lose weight If you ate what you wanted and are not hungry that's one thing (200 calories or not--I do not take issue with calorie restrictions) but you're hungry so obviously you haven't eaten enough. Des…bah, bad mojo. I always said if I ever stalled I would kick up my cardio and/or switch things around depending on what I had been doing. Well that's what I've finally done. Added Easter per Tammy-Ro Robin is who to go to when you want diet advice on ANY plan I am a tellin' you! She is da bomb! not ANY plan...just kimmers plans, atkins, CAD, Stillmans, fasting and some WW.......but atkins atkins atkins she knows backwards and forwards....... South Beach, PP. Neanderthin, LFL, and the rest she dunno diddly squat..... wipes sweat off brow as remembers addition of this to rule book quite sometime back Don't beat yourself up. Once you know where it went wrong, you have the power not to repeat the same mistake again….Maria Racing is for WIT’s. You don't have to actually know anything about it. Just yell Biffle or Cutie Butt now and then and pick a car you like that has pretty colors to root for Peskie, addition to the rule book although it may already be in there. "No WIT is allowed to brag on something without giving at least the important details". Reminder to landis I can't wait to go to the gym again Did I REALLY just say that? I'm terrible sick I just know it You need to find out what works for YOUR body Issue 5.21.285 any differences be kept between the parties with a difference and nobody else brought into it. Peskie is allowed to talk to herself as much as she wants to. Anything that let's peskie do something other than the normal activities, learn something new and get outside her little world is on the allowed list. What's work interfered stuff? I thought that was against the rules (as Maria caught on quick and added this) Rule 5.28.974 as long as u quote u are always on topic Being to blame isn't always a bad thing. You have lots of entertainment value. Break big goals into small tasks….a little at a time. It builds up to success! New addition to WIT rule book: NAPS are always allowed and encouraged without prior planning or negative ramifications of any sort. Period. True friendship doesn't give up Page 5.25. para 1444 Always blame it on the peep that is not here! Put that in the rules please. RG made sense once, but messed it up by saying that needed to be in the rule book. That makes no sense. 6.16.206 To lose one pound, in lieu of dieting, hit refresh button 6 million times Those that don't learn history are doomed to repeat it For maximum cute factor, lean forward, tongue in roof of mouth if dh is home so I should be too (stews and all), regardless of how much time just taken off root beer is the new energy drink addendum 123.5.62 negative posts must be offset with positivity WIT's should participate in celebrating victories as much as supporting needs WIT's have book addictions WIT's rule, work 2nd skipping meals can and often leads to binging later. Positivity counts! women gain a lot of times during the premenopausal times and post and how it's just sort of a "given" that it will happen. However, some women do NOT do it but keep their weight under control their whole lives though it is definitely more difficult. Why should I just accept that it's a part of life? I don't want to and WILL NOT accept this. Just like being on certain kinds of medicines can contribute to gaining. Some people do not gain in spite of that. No it may not be EASY but few things in life worth having are. Indies and keeping up aren't required, but don't ask for recaps....others have to read twice that way It's all about our choices....each decision leads to consequences, whether positive or negative and we have the power to control those choices, they just become more difficult in certain circumstances, not impossible ADHD is contagious….tread lightly Calvinball Other kids' games are all such a bore! They've gotta have rules and they gotta keep score! Calvinball is better by far! It's never the same! It's always bizarre! You don't need a team or a referee! You know that it's great, 'cause it's named after me! —The Calvinball theme song Calvinball is a game played by Calvin and Hobbes as a rebellion against organized team sports; according to Hobbes, "No sport is less organized than Calvinball! The game was introduced in a three-week story in 1990, where Calvin is bullied into signing up to play baseball, cursed when he proves a poor player and insulted when he quits. Calvin and Hobbes usually play by themselves, although Rosalyn (Calvin's baby-sitter) plays once in return for Calvin doing his homework, and does very well for herself after eventually realizing that the rules are made up on the spot. Most games that Calvin and Hobbes play eventually turn into Calvinball. The only consistent rule is that Calvinball may never be played with the same rules twice. Scoring is also arbitrary, with Hobbes reporting scores of "Q to 12" and "oogy to boogy." The only recognizable sports Calvinball is similar to are the ones that it emulates (i.e., a cross between croquet, polo, badminton, capture the flag, and volleyball.) Equipment includes a volleyball (the eponymous "Calvinball"), a soccer ball, a croquet set, a badminton set, assorted flags, bags, signs, and a hobby horse. Other things are included as needed, such as a bucket of ice-cold water, a water balloon, and various songs and poetry. Players also wear masks that resemble blindfolds with holes for the eyes. When asked how to play, Watterson states, "It's pretty simple: you make up the rules as you go." Calvinball is a nomic (self-modifying game), a contest of wits and creativity rather than stamina or athletic skill, where Hobbes (and on one occasion, Rosalyn) usually outwits Calvin, who takes it in stride, in contrast to his bad sportsmanship when he loses other games

Ok...so I just noticed I have two different color shoes on. *blank stare* Same shoe, just different colors. I knew eventually this would happen. Luckily the brown is a very dark brown so it almost looks black. Hopefully no one will notice.

good morning!!!
I'm in a fog this morning. hoping it lifts soon. probably should start drinking some coffee, lol. I made it. I made it ALL day yesterday on my eating. in reality I probably didn't eat as much as I should but that doesn't worry me if it's just a day or 2 that that happens. I don't really have to worry about it being an ongoing issue. eating TOO much is more up my alley. I really don't know what I'm going to do for food today. I know breakfast is going to be eggs and maybe sausage patties. I was going to roast some chickens but I think that's going to have to wait until tomorrow probably. maybe I'll still have time and they'll be thawed out this afternoon but I kind of doubt it. MARVELOUS MONDAY

showered and just about ready for work. just have to get dressed and come up with something to take for lunch time.
I just ate breakfast so I don't need much. I think I might just take some cheese for a snack and then eat something more substantial when I get home. I thought about skipping since I just ate and I only work 4 hours BUT I'm really trying to get back into the routine of eating smaller HEALTHY meals more often rather than a couple big meals and junk in between. |

YES, there is time if I really had to but then I have to shower and get all ready again just to go to the shelter. I know I have time tomorrow to get it in so may end up just doing that. of course, i suppose I could walk up and down my stairs. after all that lasted all of 2 minutes yesterday off to put something together for a snack at work and get out of here. talk to you later. |
