This is the episode in which Fiona is given a star chart, much like one I’d use with children, in order to motivate her to get to the gym more, eat better, and to report back to Rish on what I’ve been doing in order to collect my reward.

I love Progress Charts/chore charts/visual schedules of morning routine. It’s the sort of thing I suggest all the time at work for the kidlets I work with. Basic behaviour strategies, along with seeing what’s expected of you helping you to keep it all together. I’d be lost without my diary. And I love being able to cross the days off on my Hello Kitty calendar on my desk at work. So, hopefully, the stars will be motivating.

And the rewards? Not sure yet - shopping, outings with Rish, things such as that.

I’m also thining I’m going to enter for the Mothers Day Fun Run. Only 5km, but that’s still a long way in my little eyes! Give me soemthing to train for! (that’s not a little black dress, or related appearance-based motivation).

Okay, a busy day ahead at work… I need to put all my clients down on paper with their plans, if I know them, for the next school term. Then figure out how much time I need for each, if I have the time to do all that, and then if I can take on more clients. Fun times.
