Good Morning all. I am starting to wrap up my last shift for a couple of weeks (leave at 0900 this morning for "vacation"). I am not planning on staying OP while gone, but not going overboard, either! I am planning on trying to "be smart" and just not worry about it! The running shoes are coming along, so hopefully I will be able to get some workouts in, too!
Corinne- I thought that I had responded to your question last night, but it didn't get posted for some reason. Anyway, waffle mats (or puzzle mats) are foam mats that fit together like puzzles to cover the floor and to provide padding. They come in various thicknesses and are really great to workout on. If you want to actually see them www.greatmats.com has some great pictures/examples.
Buffy- Again, I though that I had responded to you last night but it got "poofed". Anyway, I wouldn't feel bad about using your flex points. Heck, I have been eating all of them for several weeks.
I was playing around with my points the other night and started doing some math. My target points are 24 for the day. Anyway, I added up all the points I ate in 1 wk (target + flex), then subtracted my activity points that I had earned. I divided that value by 7 and found out that even with all the flex points, I was still only eating 21-23 points/day (average) because of all the exercise. When I get back and buckle back down, I am going to start eating my activity points and see if that makes a difference.
I hope that everyone has a great day and I will "see" you later. I will try to check in if I can find decent internet access (parents and inlaws have dial up).
