I am going to post in this before Easter tomorrow where I know I will be surrounded by all kinds of sweets and honestly, will fail. As of right now I have been successful all week! I even volunteered and there were all kinds of brownies, rice crispy treats, and cookies but I tried to make myself have a successful week. I know I had said in my contract that I would allow myself to buy something for myself when I was successful but honestly, I don't feel like I should. I have went shopping since starting this without thinking of my commitment. So I have bought myself things even during the weeks I failed. This makes me really think about how I could reward myself. Buying something sounded like a great reward until I realized I buy myself things all the time. It would need to be something that I rarely get to do. I also couldn't reward myself with sweets or candy because then it would go against my goal. I'm not sure what my reward should be. I would like to try this commitment journal with something I'd like to take seriously. This have given me a good trial of learning how to fail at a commitment and choosing consequences/rewards. |

I failed again this week on Saturday. I was volunteering and they were giving out free girl scout cookies. I couldn't resist. Then someone made fresh brownies. I failed 4 times. I made it up with pushups today though. If I were to do this seriously I would need to find a better punishment for failing. Right now pushups aren't a big enough deterrent to desserts. Honestly, it would have to be something kind of serious to stop me from eating free girl scout cookies! I did show this website to a friend who was looking for some accountability to work out and she really enjoy the anti-charity. That was her motivation to get it done. If there was a goal I had that was a bit more serious, I think that would be my best route as well. |

I did it! A whole week with just one sweet a day! It helped that we were doing a donation thing at church where we ate cheaply for a week and donated the money we saved to different organizations. So I went a week without eating out or buying groceries. This means no sweets around me to eat! Worked out great for me though. Thankful to finally be successful one week! |

I didn't check in last week, it was spring break and I didn't even think about it. Hopefully we didn't need to! This week I stayed on track during the work week! Butttt then yesterday was Pi Day and being a math teacher, that's kind of a big deal. We teachers had a party and of course there was pie (and many other round desserts). I had about 4 sweets yesterday. I did make up for it in push ups today. Honestly, it's hard to remember I have this. If it wasn't for checking in tonight, I wouldn't have remembered to do my make up push ups. I did eliminate the sweets around me in preparation so that has helped be stay on track mostly because there's not sweets readily available. |
