Before After

Rating system..

  So, I decided that this week I was going to borrow my friends (Smilzwitnoe) idea for a rating system. The rating system is as follows... 
Rating yourself 0-3 based upon how well you did with calories in (eating) and calories out (working out). 0 is the worst and 3 is the best..
And you calculate at the end of week how well you did. 19-27 is great, 10-18 good, and 0-9 bad.
  Basically the idea is to pretty much just to make yourself accountable for how you did that week. I'm excited. I think it will help to push myself to put in the extra effort. I'll keep you posted on how it goes...
  So on a different note... I'm sorry to those that follow my blog... but I need to discuss this topic one last time... about gym selection.... Sorry guys.
  SO! If I'm going to do this rateing system, I need to workout. .. Let me rephrase that.. if I'm going to actually lose weight... I need to workout. I don't have a lot of money. I'm on a very low budget. Now.. it would be all well and good if I could workout at home. I've tried so many times. SO many times. It's not that I'm lazy.. I just find other things that "need to be done" around the house. I need to join a gym. I have to. There's no if's and but's about it. 
  But here's the thing.. my responsibilities and priorities. I mean, everyone has bills... but if I join a gym right now that's using the money that I need for bills. SO the question is... how important to me is working out right now. Can I wait? Or is joining a gym really one of my priorities? I think it's really one of my priorities... I'm cranky if I don't work out. I start getting down on myself, and that's when I start giving up and eating bad again. SO. I decided today, that joining the gym is a priority. I'm joining tomorrow. I have to do it for me. 
  Not too long ago I came up with the goal to do the Warrior Dash this summer. In order to do it, I need to be training everyday. No more excuses. I'm joining tomorrow.... 

  So.. goals for the week:
- Use the new rating system to make myself accountable for my actions.
- Join the gym tomorrow
- Drink more water
- Enjoy life.

Yey!

i am so glad you are trying it out!!


What helps also is giving yourself a reward if you score in the "great" department at the end of the week! 

try to make the reward non food relate. Like a pedicure or maybe go and by yourself a new piece of jewelry like a ring or a bracelet at forever21 or your favorite store. 

I'm was going to try and reward myself weekly, but I found the monthly worked better for me :)

Good luck!!
