Awesome NSV- new reward system

kathleennf

OK so yesterday I kind of had a bad day- lots of stress related to work and all that. On top of that it was a LONG day- so I never made it to the gym. (I did get to walk the dog, though!) But anyway I thought that today I would really reward myself, and what I was looking forward to was a nice long workout with weights and then some swimming and hanging out by the pool for a little while.

Of course, after I did 10 minutes on the spinner (exactly following my trainer's advice- no more, no less, no elliptical LOL), an hour in the weight room and then about 25 minutes of actually swimming (plus some sun time before and after) I felt GREAT!

Then later on the way to work I thought to myself gee, when did this happen? Instead of thinking I wanted to reward myself with a hot fudge Sunday or a couple of glasses of wine- I WANTED TO GO TO WORK OUT!! WTG me! :laugh:

I've started looking at it this way:

If I go over my calories, then I get to reward myself with a longer bike ride, a extra swim or more distance on my favorite running routes.
