As many of you know, I have set a large weight loss goal for myself this year (80 pounds). But I have decided to break that 80 pound long term goal into 10 pound short term goals. So for every 10 pounds I lose I am going to reward myself with something other than food, and I know you people that have been on the roller coaster of losing weight know exactly what I am talking about, (unhealthy) food rewards are never good most to all of the time! But I really recommend setting rewards for yourself that you really want and motivate you to work hard for them. My rewards get bigger as I lose more weight because it gets harder as you lose weight. But even if you don't have weight to lose, you may want to drink more water or eat more fruits or workout more, set goals and reward yourself for accomplishing them!
About 2 weeks ago I hit the 10 pound mark and since then I have kept it off and continued to lose weight slowly and at a steady pace. I haven't made rewards for all eight 10 pound goals yet but I have for the first three. My reward for the first 10 pounds was to get my cartilage pierced. I got my cartilage pierced my freshman year in college but with softball I couldn't wear an earring all the time so it ended up closing up and I have been wanting to get it redone ever since and I finally did it!!! And it even looks better than it did the first time! If anyone in the Cypress/Houston area is wanting to get their ears pierced I really recommend Cyndi at the Claire's in the Willowbrook Mall she is fabulous!!!
Yes that bottom right picture I did cringe a little. It was a bit of a pinch but after its all over I barely even can feel it's there!
I love it!!! My mom went with me on this wonderful mother/daughter date and we just had a fabulous day! Stop one was to get my cartilage pierced, from there we stopped at Bath&Body Works got some fabulous Spring time gentle foam hand soaps for the house, new car freshener for my car (I will share these items soon!), and travel shower gels. We then swung by the Disney store to pick up my copy of FROZEN!!! We stopped by JC Penny's to look for a curtain rod for my room and of course the only one I wanted was like $90 so if anyone knows of a good place to get an elegant but reasonably priced curtain rod please let me know :)
Our last stop was to my favorite cafe in the entire world...NEWK'S. When we got there it was packed as normal for lunch time but by the time we left it was practically empty we were having the best time talking I didn't want to leave!
It was truly a fabulous day and the weather was perfect!
I hope you all are having a great week so far!
Now I am working hard for that next 10 pounds...stay tuned to see my reward when I succeed in accomplishing this next step!
Do you have a goal you are working on? How are you going to reward yourself once you accomplish it? If you don't have a goal yet, what goal are you going to set for yourself?
