Can I COUNT on you?

Counting points- that's the name of the game now!  A few of us at work started a new weight loss challenge today which is basically earning points for doing various healthy things.  
1 point for connecting with a teammate for encouragement.  3 points for drinking 64oz of water.  3 points for not eating after 9:00pm (I am making mine 7).  3 points for eating 2 servings of fruit.  5 points for eating 3 servings of veggies.  1 point for not eating sweets.  5 points for 30 minutes of exercise and 7 points for 45 minutes.  5 points for maintaining weight at the end of the week and 10 points per pound lost.
Now I am not a competitive person at all and this is going to serve more for me to personally keep track of what I am doing- yet another way for me to hold myself accountable- that has been huge for me!
It will be motivating because I am doing it with friends and I will enjoy the connecting with them and encouraging them, but for me the points aren't in competition. 
I don't thrive well in that environment- If I put too much thought into it, then my anxiety level rises and I worry about beating the other people more than I worry about doing what I need to do for me.  Nothing in my life has ever been about beating someone else out of anything, it's not a comfortable feeling for me, even if it's just in fun.
All along this journey I have found that just when I needed something to change and force me back on track, that what I needed just sorta fell out of the sky- I have been lacking motivation in the past 2 months and this came along at a time that I was beginning to worry that I wouldn't be able to get back on track.
Now if the fates could just drop Gavin Degraw out of the sky, I'd be a happy girl!- HA!
I am happy to report that I have now lost 20 pounds- took me long enough geeesh.  I was so so close right before Christmas, but even though it reached 19, I just couldn't allow myself to celebrate at that point.
The past month was tough, I went up almost 4 pounds but quickly took that off when I got back to regular routine.  
Now on to the next 20- I don't think I will officially celebrate it until the scale inches a few numbers under that 20 mark because I can fluctuate so quickly from one day to the next.  I try not to weigh myself everyday but some weeks I have to just to keep myself in check.
So now on to phase 2- kicking it up a notch, or should I say point?  Wonder where this adventure will take me?
Until then,
COUNTING on me!
