I've decided what I want for my 30lb goal.

The last few days or so, I've been tossing around in my head ideas of what I want to do to reward myself for a 30lb loss in 3.5 months. (Tomorrow morning is my "official" weigh-in, even though I promised myself I wouldn't step on the scale until my birthday which is June 15th. I'm going to try *really* *really* hard to not get on it in the morning. My birthday goal is to reach 325 or less. I'm still quite a bit a way off from that, but if I drop to 334lbs, that will equal my 30 lbs loss.)

I digress. See, I'm getting excited just thinking about it. I have had a ton of NSV moments this week. The first being realizing that my bra is becoming looser and I've actually come close to falling out a time or two. So there's reward #1 - a new bra!! Earlier this week, I was standing in the gas station I used to work at visiting with some former co-workers and a long-time customer came in. She walked up behind me, bent down and grabbed my jeans just below my butt and shook REALLY hard. Shocked and a little mortified, I asked her just what she thought was doing. She responded with, "D*MN, girl, how much weight have you LOST?!" I smiled and told her nearly 30lbs. To which she whooped, slapped me on the back, and congratulated me. Immediately after, my former boss even said, "Jess, she's right. Your jeans are about to fall off your butt. I think it's time you get a new pair." So, REWARD #2!!!!

And then, just for giggles, I'm going to go get my hair did. Gotta do it right, ya know??

I just wanted share, it's been a great week! (Not to mention the fact that I can sit here in my computer chair and my thighs no longer push against the arms!)

Congratulations!!! You earned it!

I love that you have picked rewards that have nothing to do with food! My first 10 lb reward was a steak and lobster dinner. d'oh!

Hahaha.. yeah, I was tempted. For my 10lb goal, I went out and bought an HRM, a food scale, some new shoes, and 2lb hand weights. For my 20lb goal, I convinced hubby to take me to the greatest, hole-in-the-wall mom & pop restaurant here in town that makes the BEST food.. and I didn't let myself feel guilty for it. I figure for the 30lb goal, it's time to revert to non-food again. :bigsmile:
