So yesterday started my new week of tallying points:

Sunday:
2 points for a 2+ hr bike ride
2 points for no alcohol
1 point for being in bed by 11 PM.  Not asleep, but in bed!

A New Start!

Back to the grindstone!  Anyone want to join me?

I need to start a new routine.  I'm in a new town, for a new start, and need to get back into a schedule of healthy habits.  So far its been pretty tough.

So, I'm going to start a points system as follows:

Exercise:

working out 30 min = 1 point

working out 1 hr = 2 points

Food:

tracking daily intake = 1 point

staying within calorie count = 2 points

Bedtime:

In bed by 11 PM = 1 point

In bed by 10 PM = 2 points

Wake up:

Up by 7 AM = 1 point

Up by 6 AM = 2 points

Alcohol:

1 drink only = 1 point

no drinks = 2 points

Week 1 = Goal is to get 5 points a day minimum.

5 points = 1 silver star

5 silver stars in 1 week = 1 gold star

I haven't thought any further than that, or how many stars it will take to get to perhaps allow myself to purchase something frivolous or take a vacation.  For now I'll just keep track.  

Anyone else want to join?  Strength in numbers!
