Back on Track Today

New Year's Eve and Day have come and gone. I'm glad to get all that over with. I ate pretty well New Year's Eve. Yesterday, I just nibbled all day. When I felt myself getting full, I left the kitchen and went to do something else. I didn't track anything or write down anything. I had a healthy breakfast and drank a lot of water. I'm happy with what I did. I celebrated, but didn't go completely crazy eating everything in sight.
I poured some potato chips in a bowl last night to sit and watch the movie, and Jim asked me if I really needed them. I told him yes, I really wanted to eat them. It's the end of the holiday, and I'm back on track today.
I'm sure I undid some of the good I did for myself earlier this week. But it's the holidays, and I'm back on track today.
What do I wish for myself? To be a happy healthy weight by my birthday. I have to work on it every day, every meal.

Here's my program--
Everyday, I earn points for doing good things for myself.
I can earn a point for:
1. drink 3 quarts of water
2. eat a healthy breakfast
3. eat a healthy lunch
4. eat a healthy dinner
5. eat two healthy snacks
6. exercise 45+ minutes
7. no sweets, soda, or junk food
8. journal 30+ minutes
9. write/edit for 4+ hours
10. no eating after 7 p.m.

If I do all of these things, I get two bonus points. Mom is holding my Christmas money in $50 bills. When I get to $100 points, I earn $50. After 5 days, I'm at 28 points. But two of those days were the NYE celebrations. Before that, I had accumulated 22 points in three days. So I'm back on track today. I want to earn the first $50 on or before January 9. I believe I can do it.

I am back on track today.
