Prep Week Day 1

I have one week to prepare. This idea hit me out of the blue last night and I was so excited about it I couldn't sleep. I was just laying there, musing about how difficult it has been for me to keep my shit together this holiday season, and it occurred to me that I needed to do something BIG. Something that seemed impossible.

So, this is my impossible goal: No junk food for one full year.

My heart skips a beat just thinking about it. It's such a big goal to the point of ridiculousness. But if you don't push yourself, how do you know what you're capable of?

Now, I'm not being left to flounder here. I have the support of my husband and my Coach, and I've set this up in such a way that I am extremely motivated to keep it going.

For each consecutive day that I do not eat junk food, I get $1.

Payable on January 1, 2015.

So if I make it the entire year, I get a $365 payoff at the end of the year!

But let's say I start this project on January 1, 2014. I avoid junk food for two weeks, then I fumble and eat some cheesecake. On January 1, 2015, I get $14. No second chances, no skipping days allowed. The goal is to see how long I can make it - how long will my chain be? How many wonderful dollars do I get and what will I spend them on?

Can I really do this? I honestly don't know and that's why it's so exciting.
