For those of you who fast once a month for religious or medical reasons, you can automatically take 6 good food points and your breakfast points on the day you fast. You can still brush your teeth when you fast, so you will have to earn those on your own. Also when you fast it will be almost impossible to get 5 fruits and veggies so if you eat 2 veggies and 1 fruit on the days you fast, you can still earn your 5+ fruit and veggie points. So for example if I fasted 2 meals last Sunday, I could earn 6 good food points and my breakfast points. If I ate 2 veggies for dinner along with another healthy food and a fruit (maybe dessert) then I would get my other 4 good food points. Because I had veggies for dinner and fruit for dessert I would earn my 5+ fruit and veggie points. You can still earn the extra 2 points for a raw veggie and more veggie than fruit on these days.
Sleeping is really important and I know it is hard to make time for it. The sleep points are for one chunk of sleep. If you sleep 5 hours at night and take a 2 hour nap in the day, you can't combine the time and take the points. This is because you are not reaping the benefits as if you had slept 7 hours at one time. Part of this challenge is learning to take control of your life again, and that means taking time for you. Set up boundaries for you and your family and share your goals so that everyone is on board and can help you reach them.
Keep up the good work! :)
