Another tactic.

OK. So last week didn't go so well. No running. Almost no walking and a little yoga. Mostly it was work and battling the weather. And I ate too much of the wrong stuff. (Average daily calories 2297. 35% fat 17% protein 45% carbohydrates and 3% alcohol.) Go me.

Nevertheless, I'm down a pound.

I want to try something else for the next two weeks. Each day that I eat under 1820 calories, I get a gold star (or it's metaphorical equivalent). Each day that I exercise, I get another gold star. This gives me 13 possible gold stars for the week (because I don't plan to workout on Sundays) or 26 for two weeks. My goal is approximately 90% compliance, which leaves me with 23 gold stars.

If I get 23 or more gold stars, I get a new pair of jeans next payday.

Also, I'm giving up completely on keeping a paper notebook for the rest of this journey. The pages keep ripping out and it's only serving to make me mad. Instead, I registered with Runner's World website and I'm using their training log along with FitDay and this blog to record everything.

So, yesterday was day one and I got no gold stars. I don't workout on Sundays and I went over my calorie limit.

I'll let you know how today goes.
