Meet Heather

Name: 
Heather aka Heffalump

Age:  
39

Where you live:  
On the North Oregon Coast

What you do for a living:  
SAHM to seven kids ages 20 months to 15.  Six of them are boys.

Favorite Hobbies: 
 I collect hobbies that I hope to have time and energy to actually do someday.  I surf the web and collect tutorials for how to do things that I typically don’t have the time or equipment for yet.  I also like to read and cook.

Favorite Food (healthy or not):  
Strawberries are my favorite food, although I’m not one to turn down a Peanut Butter Cup or Lindt Chocolate.

What is the hardest thing for you to keep up with in this challenge?:  

Probably the exercise or the sugar.  I’m more likely to give up a point for the sugar, but I have a hard time with the exercise.  I only do it so I won’t have to give up points that I might want to use for other things (like eating a blackberry cobbler someone at church gave us). 

Which is the easiest thing for you to keep up with in this challenge? Any tips you'd like to share? 

  I think the water has been the easiest.  I use a ten and a half ounce Tupperware cup and keep it on the counter.  Every time I get a drink of water I make sure to fill the cup so I know I am getting at least ten ounces, and then I put a little dot in the water square on my chart.  Once I have five dots I check off the water for the day, although I usually end up drinking more than 50 oz.  I also do that for the fruits and veggies as well (dots on the chart I mean).

Thanks Heather! Also, Heather keeps a blog at http://iblogaboutnothing.blogspot.com/ if you'd like to follow along. AND she made the nifty chart for all of us to keep track of our points:)
