New and improved and 10% off!

Saturday, June 02, 2012

My wife was joking with me that I was so excited about my 10% off - "You're on sale!" she said emoticon

So, the streak has really been worth its weight in gold and has gotten me past a little slump to this 10% goal. Just refocusing this past two weeks has been very nice - especially over the Memorial Day weekend, when grilled delights and potluck potato salad could tempt me to go *way* over my calorie zone for the day.

I have to say that having to tell someone else (even a very kind and supportive someone else) how many calories I've eaten a day certainly makes me think a bit more before I put another morsel in my mouth for the day.

So, I think a super-accountable streak is an excellent re-motivator for me, personally. I have to be honest that I haven't tried one of the "bigger" streaks, so maybe I'll try that on for size soon and see how that goes.
