Here... or There... Hmmm
Alright Girls!
We started real good last year but it has long since gotten sparse goings in there. Yeah, I know, I dropped off there too, but I am getting back in gear! I am starting back to the YMCA now that the store is slower and Christmas has passed and I get out of work earlier. I'm starting to write all my stuff back down again, as I really lost the weight while I was writing it down. Once I get to my goal weight I will stop writing it down as I know that I can maintain on my own.

So, girls!! Come on, log in, get your goals set if you didn't already and let's work together!!! Anyone who wants to start in for the first time with us is more than welcome too!


sparkpeople.com We have a group called TCSers SparkTeam.

I also found this there about rewarding yourself when you meat goals...

I really like them! Let's keep them in mind!

REWARD ROSTER CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITES AND USE THEM LIBERALLY

* Compliment yourself. Write down what you would say to anyone else who accomplished what you did.
* Create an actual plaque or trophy.
* Give yourself badges of honor for different levels of accomplishment.
* Take a vacation or weekend getaway.
* Take a day off from any goal activities.
* Put $1 in a jar every time you meet a goal. When it gets to $50, treat yourself.
* Create a Trophy Scrapbook, where you keep mementos from your accomplishments.
* See a movie.
* Make a grab bag of little prizes. When you reach a significant goal, reach in and get your reward!
* Go for a spa treatment or massage.
* Buy yourself a gift certificate.
* Take a limo ride.
* Subscribe to a magazine you always wanted.
* Go canoing or do something outdoorsy.
* Watch your favorite TV show.
* Buy something for your hobby.
* Read a funny book.
* Celebrate "100% Days". If you reach 100% of your goals that day, choose two rewards.
* Find some time to be by yourself.
* Pay someone to do the yard work or house cleaning this week.
* Fly a kite.

I highlighted my favorites!

Grab bag of prizes could include (tiny chocolates!!!) or chocolate covered candy canes!!! (ship me some!
)

I found that site to be extremely time consuming. I think it was because it was a bit addicting - like always trying to get more points. etc etc. Doesn't stop the fact that I need to eat better.

Thanks for the tip! I just joined the web site. It remains to be seen whether I stick to it, but I need to do something. I'll poke around some this weekend to try to figure out how everything works on there.

I am committed to getting my butt back into action. The good news is I haven't gained any weight, but the bad news is I haven't lost anymore- still at 20lbs. I just ordered a new recumbant bike from Sears, which will be arriving on the 11th. I can't wait! My apartment gym keeps closing down for repairs and whatnot.

I gotta join this site-I am so bloated from all the holiday eating and I got lots of candy for Christmas (stashing that out of sight.)
