Hi everyone, happy Friday!
I have a goal - to lose another 7 pounds and reach my ideal weight by my 27th birthday. I've got exactly 2 months to go, and i'm confidant i can do this. When i get there, i'm going to celebrate by spending a weekend at a cabin in lovely Vermont. I'll be camping, swiming, hiking, and partying in the woods with my friends - sweet!
I want to give myself something else too. Something i don't usually get to do. Maybe a $200 shopping spree :love: , or a full body massage, maybe some new art supplies and classes, or i could treat myself to seeing one of my favorite musicians live...
So many options, i get excited just thinking about it. Visualizing these rewards is a great motivator for me. I'd love to hear about your goals and how you'll reward yourself when you reach them.
Thanks!

    For my first goal, which I'm aiming to meet in a week and a couple days - just 2 more lbs - I'm going to get my hair highlighted.

    For my second goal, 10 more lbs by June 15, I'm going to get a pedicure.

    For my final goal, 10 lbs after that (and 40 total), I'm going to get a new tattoo...

    and soon I'm going to get a massage just because I'm so flippin' sore from all the working out I do!!

    I also am starting to set aside money for future rewards and part of that will go to new clothes, bikinis for summer, I need a new bike pump, and ROLLER BLADES!!!

    Well...
    I moved away from my family about 4 years ago when my hubby got posted across the country. In those 4 years.... I've had 2 kids and gained a lot of weight... so I think my 'reward' is going to be when I go back for a wedding this fall and see them. I want them to look at me and NOT be thinking, "Wow what happened to her? she used to be skinny"
    Heh, most of them haven't seen me since I moved away.

    Other than that...
    I'm so going on a shopping spree when I hit my goal weight. Not even my "skinny" jeans will fit me then.

    When I get to 25 pounds lost, hopefully by the end of May, I get a massage. At 54 pounds lost (I'll be at 199 then), should be by September 1st, I get my pink ribbon tattoo. At 75 pounds lost, aiming for the end of the year, I get an insulated riding suit for riding on the back of the motorcycle with my hubby.
