HWHL Points Today - 38 (141 total this session) I did everything today, plus three extra points for the extra exercising.
Cat's Challenge Points - Session 2 goes from Friday Sept 10th to Thursday Sept 16th. I had 65.5 points for Session 1.
Exercise - 20 minutes on my Gazelle strider, 60 minutes Zumba class

See, this is why I do the HWHL and Cat's Challenge blogs. I did a small workout on my Gazelle, and ran out of time before I had to be somewhere. Then, I knew I had Zumba class later at night, and if it was just me, I totally would have bailed on it. But because I knew there were points involved, especially the extra 2 bonus Cat's points I get for exercising 1 hour straight, I went to Zumba class. I am finding that I am motivated by rewards, even if they are just comments in cyberspace.

A shout-out to Gwen - thanks for the great comments! I'm glad I'm helping a little, and hopefully I'm a good read. Although, it seems to be mostly about the data these days. I'll have to see if I can get out of my rut, and write a good post. And I did check out Bountiful Baskets. It sounds really interesting. I emailed the blog authors, but I haven't heard back. I should write them again. I'd love to get something going in my area.

Gwen, here's a great quote for you. MyFoodDiary.com randomly puts up quotes all the time, and I read one today that defines success for me: "Fall down seven times, get up eight - a Japanese proverb" It doesn't matter if you fall off the wagon. It's always waiting there for you to get back on. You can do it!!
