carrot on a stick

Well...I've been thinking about ways to keep myself motivated lately. I can see my willpower flagging, and I've been living with myself long enough that I know exactly how unlikely it is that I will make it more than 6 months without completely falling off the wagon a dozen times. So, to avoid that, I've come up with some rewards for milestones.

go under 200 lbs. - get hair done

190 lbs. - go use that gift certificate to the day spa to get a massage

175 lbs. - take one leisure learning class--creative writing, photography, something

160 lbs. - buy a functional black blazer that will go with everything, and will still fit in 6 months

Meeting the exercise goal for an entire 4 week period - put $50 toward furniture for the upstairs bedroom/office/playroom.

That's all I have right now.
