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

Drum Roll Please...

I earned 119 points last week!  That means $35 for me to spend on me!  No weight lost though according to the scale this morning.  I am going to push hard again this week.  I must admit that I did falter yesterday at a family get together.  My father had gourmet chocolate... but at least I didn't eat one single bite of the many doughnuts. I did however, knowing my parents didn't have good food choices, bring half my kitchen to make a healthy dinner for everyone. 

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement and support.  Shawn and I had a great discussion yesterday too about all this so I think I am going to make it.  To further help me in my goals I have also decided to reward myself with an awesome new custom eshakti.com dress as soon as I loose 20lbs.  That will keep me going!

    They have some cute dresses right now too. Good job, I think if you ate a piece of chocolate and said no to the doughnuts that is a win for sure. It is hard when you are in a place with no healthy options. Hang in there and next time you will say no to the chocolate!
