January Points Challenge

Hey everyone! Happy New Year!
This is the month to month challenge that I do in my other group, that I thought I would bring here to see if you guys like it too. Usually the challenges run all month, every month, but due to the New Year, this one will start January 2nd. The idea is to have ten daily goals, and each goal you achieve, you get a point. If you make a certain number of points in a month, you reward yourself to something. Some people use the same ten goals daily, some have a few changing ones (like I do). My goals are:

1. Log all food
2. Stay under calorie goal
3. At least 135 grams of protein
4. Minimum three servings fruits and vegetables
5. Log all carbs and insulin into glucometer
6. Drink at least 6 liters of water
7.
8.
9.
10. Go to bed by (Insert time), maximum (Insert number) minutes on phone/tablet in bed

The blank ones are my changeable goals, usually mine involve exercise, chores and errands that I need to get done.
I have seen others include making contact with friends, walking dogs, playing with pets, meditation, journaling, prayer, time with children, almost anything you can think of.
Up until now, most people try for 200 points on a 30 day month, and 210 points on a 31 day month.

I will be back January 2nd to post goals for that day, and decide what my reward will be if I make points. I hope to see many of you then!

    Sounds like fun. I do something similar to this in my daily planner...would be fun to see how many points I can actually rack up.
