Rewards

Well, we are trying to motivate ourselves to get healthy and fit. Let's face it, we aren't getting any younger. Denise tells me I was like a 65 year-old when she met me over 12 years ago. For the record, I'm still not 65. Nor is Denise.
So, how do we do it? We bribe ourselves, that's how. We sat down, had a bit of a round table, and decided that if we eat clean all week we will have one 'treat' meal on the weekend. This is my big, huge hurdle to overcome. I love food. I always have. I took over cooking from my mom when I was 13. Not having sugar is not going to be easy for me, but I'll try. Yikes.
The second part of our 'motivation marathon' is the working out. It's hard to fit it in, as it is for everyone. We made a chart, and everytime we workout we get a star. If we get 60 stars before September, we will reward ourselves with a new Matt & Nat bag. MMMMMmmmmmm. Lovely vegan bags. This is why I love to make bags. Like candy that you don't eat.
Wish us luck.
