I think I need to develop some sort of personal rewards system that does NOT involve food... Any ideas? Earn your time on BT. It keeps me motivated-if I set up some sort of to do list, each activity can earn xx minutes of BT time. |

The thing is I raced yesterday so I felt I had earn food treats... then when I get through this work preso on Tuesday I will feel the same thing... But it doesnt really HELP me reach any long term goals to keep eating junk as a reward for everything... or to soothe me on a bad day... So... Im trying to think of some kind of alternative so I can say... 'if I finish that race I will...' |

I think the biggie is that buying a box of chocolate is a 'cheap reward' as opposed to say a new pair of Bike shoes which is not a CHEAP reward... Maybe i need a piggie bank... and to loose my need for instant gratification! |

Maybe i need a piggie bank... and to loose my need for instant gratification! I will be really good at not spending money on junk for a few months, but then I have a bad couple of weeks. Lately I have been hitting the sugar pretty hard. I think it is the raised stress levels-I need to work on that. |

Would you believe I have an exciting afternoon of housework and werk work planned to celebrate.. sigh.. hmm well I drove home from the race yesterday eating jelly snakes... stopped at the supermarket and went in all sweaty and in my race suit with a singlet over the top and big obvious race numbers... picked up some white bread and a roast chicken and potato chips (was craving salt) So my celebration meal was two chicken sandwiches with butter and salt, diet coke, Lime and Pepper potato chips and some Ferrero Rocher... Needless to say I didnt need dinner!!! This morning I had a chocolate croissant so I think Im done on the eating... unless someone wants so split a bottle of wine with me! Jelly snakes???? Nevermind. I kept reading the thread. We just call them gummy worms. Ferrero Rocher... ummmm. |

I think I need to develop some sort of personal rewards system that does NOT involve food... Any ideas? Um. Tasers, whips and cattle prods? Oh wait. Maybe that's not a reward. Hm.... How about a Tri Equipment Fund? When you do something good, you get to buy a new pink Tri Suit? |
