April's Challenge

I'm taking a week off of mini-goals. It's tiring to keep failing at them, so I'm simply not doing it this week.

I am, however, committing to a monthly goal. March's Water Challenge was a waste. I don't think I met my water requirements for a straight 7 days this month. But, I didn't put a reward out there either. Since I wasn't expecting to reward myself, I didn't do it.

So, for April's challenge, I'm committing "simply" to stay within my points range, including the 35 flex points, for 4 straight weeks. If I succeed through April 18th, then I can get a pedicure - right in time for spring (hopefully).

Now, this sounds easy. Because, for the most part, I have not exceeded my daily and flex points for the last 3 months. But I think it will be particularly difficult in April because: (1) this week I'm going out of town for a professional conference. Four days straight of eating out, with no home cooking or home control. (2) Easter. A family dinner where I have no control, and they cook with gross amounts of butter and fat.

And, if I don't succeed. No pedicure. No pretty toes. No sandles.

Yick. I've waited all winter to wear sandles.
