Cashing in
(written the evening of March 6 - stupid not-in-my-timezone-calendar. hmph.)
Anyway ... I began my First Day of Training yesterday. I've been practicing for my race since early February, but wasn't working a formal training plan. I now have a Training Plan that I can use to boss myself around with.
Or, in today's case, feel mildly guilty for not doing when I was lying in bed with a migraine. (Yay, hormonal triggers!)
That's actually NOT what this entry is about.
What this entry is about is all the neat stuff I'm doing to reward myself. First, for every pound I lose, I deposit $1 in my ING Weight Loss account. I also get $5 for every fitness goal I meet. When I hit my goal weight, I'll use the money for something fun - quality fabrics for a new wardrobe, most likely.
So far, I've earned 3 rewards:
- 10 pounds lost: chair massage (booked for next week)
- 20 pounds lost: manicure (need to book!)
- exercise 45 min/day for 5 days (Yankz! laces for my tennies)
More goodies at my 1st 10% loss, 30 pounds lost, and 2 weeks straight of exercise (45 min x 5 days). The fitness goals are actually going to be harder to meet than the weight loss, what with not going to the gym from the sick.
I also get to post a progress photo at the 10% mark. Whee!
Better get on it, I guess. :)
