dieting

you knew it would happen. the post on dieting. but i have specific goals, people. and i'm going to share them with you.


at the beginning of the year, my mom started a group with all of her sisters called healthy habits. naturally, my dad and i were added to the mix. we all contribute $10 to the pot and whoever has the most amount of points at the end of the month gets all of the money in the pot.

as far as points goes, here's the list:
get at least 7 hours of sleep = 1 point
30 minutes of exercise = 1 point
additional 30 minutes of exercise = 1 point
no sweets = 1 point
no junk food = 1 point
eat 5 fruits & veggies = 1 point
drink at least 64 ounces of water = 1 point
keep your personal goal = 1 point
keep a daily food journal = 1 point

in addition to participating in healthy habits, i am training for a half marathon. i am in no means a runner, but i want to be! i think that running is definitely a "healthy habit" and i really think that this will not only help my physical body, but it will help me to develop some more self control and self discipline. i'm really excited about this. i sure will miss the nutella, though.
