Well, came down with the flu last evening. Ended up not exercising last night. Was up all night...double dragon. And needless to say, my body WON'T have any food. The good thing is, i'm down 3.5 pounds this morning. That will go right back up when I eat. But Query is this...
If my body refuses to have food...Do I still take points off for not eating healthy? I wanted to get peoples oppinions on this. I will use what freebies I have left, but, in the end, there are some meals that I don't have freebies to use. Exercise I feel that I should loose points because I'm sure that if I tried hard enough I could lift a small amount of weights for 20 minutes. What say the group?
I just talked to Kristin and she had the flu last week and took off like 50 points for not getting her water or meals in. i know in games past we have always taken points off but whatever everyone decides. if we decide otherwise, kristin will have to add her points back in. we decided a long time ago when we first started this game that that was just part of life if you get sick or are up with sick kids or things come up that you are not in control of, but lets see what everyone else thinks. we never really talked about it for this game. hope you get feeling better :( sorry you and katie are sick :(
ReplyDeleteI would be fine if Kristin gave herself more points. My big thing is, I can eat the food. And I guess I’m willing too, but I will just throw it right back up. So in my mind, as long as I am not putting anything horrible into my mouth, I shouldn’t have to deduct points. If you have a cold and just don’t feel like eating, well, my opinion is that you probably still should. The flu is a whole different ballgame. And like I said, I’m willing to use what freebies I have left to counter for it.

ReplyDeletewoops i accidentally removed my comment LOL, i talked to kristin and jodi and they are fine with not taking points off. lets see if we get any more opinions and if not we will add kristins points back in and you dont have to take any off.
ReplyDeleteOkay, let me know. Like I said, if it was a cold or body aches or anything else that doesn’t involve your stomach and bowels, I would be fine with taking points off for not eating. But with the Flu, and I’m sure you all can agree. It isn’t a lack of wanting to eat(well sometimes it is), but it is that your body won’t accept food. Let me know! Thanks
ReplyDeleteHow about 1 sick/emergency day during the 8 weeks - only to be used for something totally out of your control- like stomach flu, maybe even with the group's ok. I hate to see you lose points in a situation like that, but it could get touchy if it comes down to the difference of winning or not.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with having the 1 sick/emergency day during the 8 week period.
ReplyDeleteI think that's fair and makes sense. Hope you guys feel better!
