I confess that I got a bit carried away with eating the past several weeks.... OK months. I used my birthday, vacation and super busy with work and travel as excuses to eat as long as I was exercising. Enough is enough. I know better than that. I am "satisfied" with my body, but not "happy" with my body so time to get back in gear.
First, I know I feel better when I eat better AND work out. Second, feeling better about my body is reward enough. However.... the reward is even better with more reward. I will reward my reward.
My ultimate goal is to lose 25 pounds. If I go down 20, that is where I was at when I was at my best 2 years ago. If I get there, I would be satisfied. If I drop the 25, I will ecstatic. That is the overall goal.
Here is what I decided. Short term and long term goals. I made these decisions:
1- If I stuck it out for 1 week and dropped even 1 pound, I would reward myself with the new Kate Spade purse I have been eyeing (reward received this week!)
2- If I loose 10 pounds, I get a pair of shoes of my choice from Foot Candy (no price limit....OK, less than $700)
3- If loose 20 pounds, I get to spend the Tiffany gift card for lots of money that I have been holding on to for quite some time
4- If I get to the ultimate goal of 25 pounds, it's time for a shopping spree of new clothes... no holds bar!
See? The reward is the weight loss and health improvement and I will reward the reward. Love it.
So far so good. So far I love the warm weather, healthier food and continued exercise.
Off for the weekend..... see ya.
