Nothing too exciting today. I did get to wear my medal from the 5K to work today. Would have been funnier if everyone else wore theirs, but a morale boost is a morale boost regardless. No major challenges for the day, as I'm really looking forward to next weekend. With the last few thousand points to go I'm already hoping to have everything done by Saturday.
So a couple thoughts for the next challenge. I've been debating cutting the daily calorie allotment, since I never had a negative point day on the diet. The extra points though did allow for a bit of cheating now and then, and over the course of the whole diet added up to almost 75,000 points by itself. Cutting them out would probably result in making it more challenging, but I'm not sure that's really something I want to do. One of the advantages to this plan was the daily sense of accomplishment. Cutting several hundred points a day out would likely reduce that feeling.
Of course as the heart of the challenge is competing against myself for a prize I've been giving that a bit of thought as well. One potential idea I had was turning the prize into a new car. I don't actually need a new car, as my old one only has around 70,000 miles. But the car is starting to get old (I bought it in 2005) and I wouldn't mind having something newer. Anyone have some other suggestions for prizes?
