Terms

We have been learning new terms and their definition with this challenge. Some of my favorite are trans fat (something we don't want to eat), BMI (body mass index) which is a number we are trying not to have in the obese category (mine is still there), satisfaction level (being full to a 5-6 on a scale of 10) which is the point at which you no longer eat the whole portion and lick the plate clean, portion size (a smaller portion will equate to a smaller size you can wear), 5K (not to be confused with a 401K) which is a 3.1 mile race you can run or walk, interval training: which is the time it takes to recover (start breathing again), and many more.
Some of the new terms I am now using are: grandma tax : when the grand kids are eating a donut, cookie, or anything that tastes good that has too many calories, I impose a grandma tax on it which is getting one bite and only one bite (and yes I journal the bite), plank: this is an exercise that when doing it you would rather be walking the plank of a pirate ship and jumping into shark infested waters, and 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and your done: these are the sweetest words your trainer can say when exercising.
