Default Australia challenge - MOTHs and stuff

Ok I want to have a challenge prior to my trip to Oz in 19th June (and my 10 k run on 11 June)

I have planned 15 training runs before then. For each run I do, I will put £10 in a box. For every dessert I eat at work (or other cheat food not on the cheat plan) I will give £5 of that money to Colin, the MOTH (man of the house)

So by the time I have done my run I should have £150 to spend on a stunning outfit in which to meet my parents at the airport!!!!

Anyone else have anything they want to achieve by then? I don't want a pound loss challenge, coz I am finding it hard to lose, and want to focus on something more measurable.

Mine's a weight loss / BMI thing - as shown on my sig. I have promised myself to be down to being in the *overweight* zone by my birthday.

I have a box of money for posh tolietries, it has been building up for months now. I put in £1 for every lb off (have to take it out if i gain!!) and 50p for every gym work out and 20 p for every hour walking etc. I've got about £40 now. I can spend it when I've lost my first stone. Hopefully not long!!

I hear you on the weightloss thing kykaree, however I'm going to say I'd like to lose 7lbs before then - to make me 11st 7lbs.

AND I would only like to have had 2 "cheat" days!!!! I would say that I'd try for none, but I think that's unrealistic! If I can minimise it to once a month I'll be happy!

I want to get fitter (my back has been bad for well over a month now and walking is still painful), lose pounds (7-14) and continue to drink less.

Sorry, it's lbs for me, too! I just want to lose this last few lb. I stuck at 164 for ages after xmas. I've been losing painfully slowly ever since. Last time I dieted like this, it took me 2 weeks to lose the final 5lb. So far it's taken me 5 months and still no joy.
