Battle Plan

In order to win my battle with weight I am going to follow a "Healthy Points" plan. Each day I will receive a certain number of points for doing certain healthy things.
1 pt Drinking 9 cups of water
1 pt Eating no more than 40g of sugar
1 pt No white (bleached/enriched) bread
1 pt No sweets/desserts
1 pt 6-8 hours of sleep
1 pt 5 servings of vegetables and fruit
1 pt Eating a good breakfast
1 pt No food past 8:00pm
1 pt 10,000 steps (15,000 = 1.5, etc.)
1 pt Scripture Study
1 pt Personal Prayer
1 pt Being Tidy
1 pt Stretching Out
1 pt for every 100 calories burned in a workout

Sunday is a free day. I automatically receive full points (except workout) but can earn double points if I actually maintain my healthy habits throughout the day.
At the end of every week I will add up my points and reward myself accordingly with cash for splurging on myself--clothes, mani/pedis, massage, etc.
80-84 pts $5
85-89 pts $10
90-94 pts $15
95-99 pts $20
100-104 pts $25
105-109 pts $30
110+ $35

I have a neck!

So my chiropractor told me that the hump at the lower back of my neck was genetic--some people have a protruding bone, but I didn't believe him in regards to me cuz I don't remember having it 5 years ago.  I think it is connected to weight and tension. My neck is seriously feeling better and I have more of a curve rather than a humpy bump!  Go exercise!!
I have been doing great with points this week!  No white flour or sweets, exercised everyday and have generally eaten very healthy.  Thus far I earned 19 points both Monday and Tuesday, 16.5 points yesterday and already have 17 points today!! Yep 17!  I worked out with the cardio machines at the gym for nearly 2 hours and burned 900 calories.  Doctor visit tomorrow with weigh-in and blood test.  My fingers are crossed.
