Kinda...sorta...but not really. Went to bed early enough, but my pre week jitters had me tossing and turning, again, for hours.

I revamped my daily check in, to tie it back to what I wrote on Friday. I usually start out w/a rough system, then tweak it over time to make more sense. This way, I check off the things I need to do daily, vs. ending the day seeing what I did or didn't do.

I don't do good w/food, never have, prolly never will, I can try and whatnot, but that's my reality. I do however, when I get my groove going, do pretty good w/the physical. My daily goal is to burn 500 calories via working out, and I'm only going by the cardio burn since the machines give me readings. I know it's not 100%, but it's close enough and whatever I burn doing weights will net me 500, even if what I really burned cardio-wise was say, 350 and not like today 602.
500 calories burned off 7 days a week ='s 1lb. In theory. Plus it'll be interesting to see, so long as I am moderately successful w/food and doing phase 1 is pretty doable for me, if the calories burned over a 6 - 7 day period match what the scale sez.

I never did well w/ "if I lose 5lbs I'll buy myself a McMansion, if I lose 10lbs, I'm renting a space shuttle" sorta goals. For one, too broke, for two, I dunno, being broke ain't no joke. And who knows if this'll have the desired effect, but I came up w/a modest reward system for every 2lbs shed.
Watch Lost.
Yes the TV show.
Yes from last season.
I have no idea what happened since ABC came across fuzzy for the entire season. I ended up downloading the show. After getting spoiled watching the entire season 1 in one swoop, I decided to wait till season 2 finished and watch it all at once.
Then I moved. Then I had a 2 hour commute. Then I spent every weekend running around in and out of town. Then I just plum forgot.
When I went to see my mom, HGTV had a tech toys show, which I just lurved, showing a treadmill gizmo that shuts off the TV if you slow down or stop. Then thinking of other things, well it all came together, 24 episodes + 2lbs ='s 50lbs lost, bascially my ultimate goal weight, give or take 10lbs or so.
I'm extremely good @ delayed gratification and yet am so intrigued by Lost, I can see myself doing what I need to do each day to ensure it doesn't take me 2 months to lose 2lbs. I *hope*, @ the very least, I can see a new show every other week (by losing 1lb a week). It'll be gold if I see a new show each Sunday (losing 2lbs a week).
193lbs ='s me rewatching S2E1
If I gain, I'll have to re lose the gain + 2lbs to see the next episode, fair enough.
Oh and as an added incentive, any week I drop more than 2lbs (not @ all my goal or anything I'm striving to do by the way) I can watch one episode of this years Entourage.
Let the TV games begin.

That's one brilliant idea. I mean it.
Making little goals to get to something big. You can do this!! I hope you get really adicted to the second season.

My husband and I are waiting for season 2 to come out on DVD so we can watch it...we watched all of season 1 in 3 days, but were too late to catch season 2 at the beginning....
Did I mention to you before that Weight Watchers has a verson that is very much like SBD except it's a lot less difficult?
