Earning TV & Computer Time

3/12/2013

0 Comments

 
I got an informational packet from the people hosting my upcoming “Bootcamp” and in it, they suggested rating yourself each day on whether or not you did what you were supposed to and counting up how many “points” you got each day.  Well I really liked the idea of the points but there’s no reward or punishment for getting or not getting your daily points.  So I decided to expand upon it a little bit and implement it for Ryan and I.  We’re going to use the points to “earn” tv and computer time.  We spend way too much time watching TV so from now on, you only get to watch TV or be on the computer if you’ve earned your points.

Guidelines
  • Tally the total number of points earned or lost for the day
  • Each point equals one hour of TV/Computer time earned
  • Points can roll over from day to day in order to save up (ex: for a long movie)
  • If the balance at the end of the week is negative it will be reset at the start of the next week (Monday morning)

Points Earned
  • Earn TWO points for completing a Bootcamp session, CrossFit WOD or similar
  • Earn ONE point for a 3mi run, 45min gym workout or equivalent
  • Earn ONE point for completing all chores listed below
  • Earn ONE point for completing a project (like a sewing project or a home improvement project)

Ashley’s Chores that must be completed to earn TV point:
  • No dirty dishes on the counters or sink
  • One load of laundry done and put away
  • Kitchen Table cleaned off
  • One room/area picked up or cleaned
  • Meals, snacks and workout bag prepared for the next day

Points Deducted
  • Lose TWO points if you do not log your calories consumed (we use Calorie Counter)
  • Lose ONE point if you logged your calories but went over your daily allowance (mine is 1400, Ryan’s is around 2000)
  • Lose ONE point if you got less than 7hrs of sleep the previous night or stayed up past midnight



We started this yesterday and even Ryan agreed to do it so we'll see how it goes.  Yesterday, I finished the day with 2 points and Ryan had zero.  Although I got home so late from my bootcamp that by the time we finished dinner/dishes and got ready for today it was time for bed so we wouldn't have had time to watch TV anyways.  So far I'm on track today to get two more points, woohoo!
