Have earned two stars!
Empty rewards chart will soon be sparkling with two gold stars. Have not only stuck v. solidly to Better Eating Plan (sounds so much nicer than diet, right?) but have also gone to the gym. And not just gone to the gym, turned around and gone home to v. comfy bed, but actually worked out. Two stars! After ten such stars, will be rewarding self with white GAP sundress. And some ice cream.
Attempted to go to bed early last night, but ended up tossing and turning, waking up drenched from night sweats and freezing from lack of heat in apartment. Have not slept well in a week. Perhaps should get a job moonlighting as a cocktail waitress. At least then, would be profitable night of no sleep.
I thought of going to the gold star system, however, it only seems to bring up memories of piano lessons, scales I could never memorize, and repressed feelings of inadequacy. Maybe I’ll go to the Scooby Snack reward method – but I guess that defeats the purpose of Good Eating Habits and Gym workout. Damned Vicious Cycle!
I’ll give you an extra star just for being so damn cute. That’s three stars in one day! Wow…you are impressive.
I hear ‘ya on the no sleep thing. My town is so small though, moonlighting as a cocktail waitress would have an entirely different meaning. We do have a couple of gentlemen clubs…or course.
Rock on, Fish! I too am making progress on my eating better/working out more plan. It really gives me a sense of accomplishment to be able to say that I’ve been to the gym every day this week, and I haven’t eaten a single M&M.
I think a few M&M’s won’t kill anyone : ) Its all in the proportions…
Great job, Fishy. Keep up the good work. Gold stars are pretty, huh?
You’ll have your GAP-wear in no time…congrats on the stars. If I were to use a star system, I think I’d be at negative stars today after the snack pack of cheetos I ate, followed up by snack pack of doritos, followed up by…oh darn crunchy, cheesy snacks!!
Ah, sundresses. Everyone wins with sundresses – women sport them around and feel sexy, and men love them for looking incredible. Love the sundress.
Cure for insomnia = work full time, go to law school 4 evenings a week, attempt to have a social life. I sleep quite soundly now (when I get to sleep, that is).
If it’s the seersucker with shoelace straps …. that is cute isn’t it? next month
