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

And...beside 4lbs...

I earned 101 points which is $25 dollars towards shopping!  When Shawn came home from camping with oatmeal cream pies, nutty bars and powered donuts I said "No, I want new clothes more and look gooood" over and over then went to look at my favorite clothing websites while he munched with Mariah.  So, now I have carried over from the before pregnancy time $90 for the New Year shopping trip!  Oh, and I give myself an extra $10 dollars when I meet my weight loss goal of 2.5lbs/week.  That's motivation!

Cinnamon, why did I forget about you?

Dang, do I eat food just to get the flavor in my mouth!  I knew this was going to the a problem starting this thing back up again cuz sweet flavored things are delicious!  Well, a few weeks ago in the grocery store I just wanted something...something to taste...something to meet my craving...something to fulfill the desire for flavor!  Then I saw it, cinnamon bears.  I thought, "this might work" and it did!  What flavor!  So, the next week starting this thing up again I bought some Big Red gum and man has it worked!  I get a feeling for flavor and pop a piece of Big Red.  I could be a spokesmen for it!  I've tried the "dessert" flavored gum before and they just get runny but Big Red zaps my mouth and I have something to chew.  This last week I lost 4lbs!  Whenever I finished a meal and want something more I drank a ton of water (which I do before the meal too) and pop some Big Red.  Cinnamon, why did I forget you?  Flavorful cinnamon!  You zap my mouth with spice and sweetness all at once.  Gotta love it!

I'm back

Alright!  Back into the fray.  My goal is new year--new me.  I want to loose 45 pounds by New Years and that will put me one less pound than my husband.  I will weigh less than my husband!!!  I better!  I am keeping track of points again to earn money for a New Year's shopping trip.  Luckily with the point watching, I gained nothing with the pregnancy.  Absolutely nothing.  I am right back to where I was at this point in November.  Here I go!
