      I hope that New Year's eve is a blast and you wake up without a hangover! I'm a 37 yr old, old fogie....I'm gonna go watch some Netflix and fall asleep. It's gonna be great! Nighty nite!

      Hey @mram3582 If it's cool may I switch my weigh in to Wednesdays?? For some reason I forget every Tuesday to weigh in...

      Good evening all and Happy New Year. What are your 2019 goals? My overarching goal for this year is to run a half-marathon. We have a local half-marathon and 5k that I ran in last year, I completed the 5k portion and it felt amazing. But now my new goal is to achieve that 13.1 and from there, move up to maybe a 26.2...can I do it??? I think so, eventually.

      I also would like to lose somewhere around 30 pounds, but I'm not as fixated on the number on my scale anymore. It's the feeling of accomplishment, the way my clothes fit better on me, that I crave. I want to look healthy, rather than lose a lot of weight so I can make myself believe I'm so healthy. So, that said, I'm going to make the effort even more than I have before, to eat well and treat myself right.

      @lar25473 done-changed to Wednesdays. Half a marathon is a spectacular goal to strive for too! The 5K this year wasn't too shabby either! :) 2019 is the year for health! Do it!

      Mini Challenge: Question of the week! How do you reward yourself? Do you have an ultimate reward?
    • Posts: 2,482 Member
      Q of the week: I don't have small reward items for myself. I guess that I figure that buying smaller clothes and new shoes IS a form of reward. I do plan on getting my hair and makeup professionally done for my final goal and a hot date with my husband. I actually haven't given it much thought, so maybe I can get ideas from you guys too! :)

      Q of the Week: Perfect timing! I set increment awards - so, 10 pounds lost = pedicure; 25 pounds lost = new shoes. I was just thinking about these this morning!

      I haven't set any short-term rewards for myself, but my ultimate reward is a cruise! Since that will be awhile in coming, I think I should start thinking about short-term rewards ...

      I will usually give myself mini rewards - maybe a new scarf, or a nail polish I wouldn't normally buy. My ultimate reward is that we are planning to start IVF when I get down to 200lb!

      Q of the week- I really haven't given it much thought to rewarding myself, but I did buy myself a new pair of jeans today that are too small and I hope to be in them by the end of next month! @mram3582 I like your date idea, that'll be awesome to get pampered like that and have a date night :)

      Question of the week..Never give myself a treat but it is a tempting thought. May be a Good skin firming/tightening cream to help with the sagging skin after the weight loss.

      QOTW -Not thought of this before but I like the sound of every half stone rewarding myself ! I’ve bought a few new things recently as managed to lose weight during pregnancy (am nearly 2 stone down from heaviest at start of pregnancy and only 2 stone to get back to what I weighed when I got married)
      Maybe I’ll get new bras as my boobs are shrinking !!!

      Weigh In Day: Wednesday
      PW = 208
      CW= 207

      How did that happen over the New Years weekend? Not sure, but I'll take it!

      Also, my daily check in for today

      Tracking: yes
      Calories: yes
      Exercise: yes
      Goals: today (and really for the next week or so), I am just trying to get back into some good habits - drinking water, not drinking wine for a while, walking the dog twice a day - the basics.

      And today was a great day.

      Daily post - 2nd January
      Tracking: yes
      Calories: yes
      Exercise: 1.5 hours walking
      Today is our last full day at the beach before we head home to reality tomorrow. Planning to visit a nearby waterfall with lots of steps ;)

      Q of the week - I don’t set rewards but I have bought a few items of clothing a size down. One was an expensive pair of exercise leggings that have been worth every cent.
      I rarely buy clothes so I think in the future any rewards will probably just be replacing things when they get too big.

      Q of the week, I like to do crafts so I treat myself to some new fabric or craft supplies. I haven't lost enough to need new clothes, just happy to be able to breathe in the ones I already own. 😊

      QOTW:
      My mini rewards are shoes usually or new jeans when my old ones don't fit anymore and my plan for a big reward is going shopping for new clothes with my best friend once I'm down to my goal weight/size.
