So I went out and bought a Self magazine and there was an article I absolutely LOVED. It was about a woman that rated herself in five different categories for one week. Depending on how you do (if you meet the category or not) you get up to five stars for each day. I love doing things like this because it helps me see the big picture- and helps me understand what I’m doing right or wrong during the week.
Would anyone like to do this with me for one week? I thought it would be a great new take on staying on track

It looks like this:

Sunday
Sleep Well? - yes! Sleeping in is awesome
Eat Right? - yes! stayed under my calories limit&had quality foods!
Work Out? - yes! 60 mins elliptical- killer abs too
Stretch? - yes! 10 glorious minutes!
Talk Yourself Up? - yes! complimented my body during shopping!
Total Stars: 5 Stars!!!
