I'm SOOO corny!

Yes, I have to result to such things as this to keep myself motivated:

Gold Stars

I had some time to kill after my final last night and when I would pick up my husband at his yoga class (which I will soon have to start attending as well....), so I stopped by Craft Warehouse and bought a couple of packets of gold stars. For every "good" day, I get a gold star in my day planner. Of course, what is "good"? I'll probably alter the definition as I go along, but right now it is journaling and drinking all my water.

On other news, I did something to my ankle/calf again, so working out is a bit more challenging. I'm doing a rest day today, but I should do something tomorrow. I'm flying to Tucson for a long weekend with my parents on Friday, which means swimming on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and possibly Monday. I have been saying lately that I was going to take up swimming as exercise (as opposed to swimming for fun), but I just haven't done it yet. This will at least be a good start to that.

Another thing I learned, no matter how much I love soup in a breadbowl, I definitely should NOT eat it. Not only isn't it not worth the points, it can do a doozy on your digestive track. Yikes!

Okay, so I don't think gold stars are corny at all, but this is coming from the girl who has multi colored stars and puts them in your food journal on days where I exercise. For me, the "gold star" comes form a workout- I've done that for years. Used to have a calendar in the kitchen- before our remodel and I'd star the days for motivation when I exercised. The calendar's gone, so the stickers go in my journal next to the workout I did. I think ANYTHING that keeps you going is worthwhile. I like to see the bright little stars, its encouragining. Nothing corny there!
