Goals and Rewards for 2012

In 2011, I set unrealistic goals and deadlines for myself.  I'm hoping to move away from all of that in 2012.  Here is a list of my general goals for 2012 and the rewards that I plan on reaping...

General Goals:

• Plan all of my meals each and every week
• Work out at least 3 times a week
• Incorporate strength training work-outs with cardio work-outs
• Drink 60-80ozs water each day

Overall Weight Loss Goal:

• To be wearing a size 12 pants by the end of the year

Overall Exercise goal:

• To run a full 5K - without any walking (preferably in less than 30 minutes, but that's extra)

Exercise Goals:

• Complete the Couch 2 5K running program
• Participate in the Susan G. Koman RFTC 5K in April
• Participate in the Cancer Challenge 5K in the summer

Rewards/Incentives:

• For every 1lb lost each week, $2 will be placed in a jar that will go towards a new wardrobe at the end of the year
• For every 1lb gained each week, $2 will be removed from the jar 
• Each week that all meals are planned and kept to (no extra eating) a $5 bonus will be placed in the jar
• Each week that I work out 3 times a $5 bonus will be added to the jar
• At the completion of each exercise goal, a $20 bonus will be added to the jar
• The money is to not be touched until the overall weight loss goal has been achieved
