Let's Talk Rewards!

Ok, so the goal has been set. Hours of analysis into what makes me eat... what tempts me... how I got into these size 18 shorts.... and exactly what I'm willing to do differently this time VS all the times before. But wait, let's pause a moment to discuss the rewards!!!

Well, of course there will be the undescribable fulfillment when I can zip up my sexy DKNY jeans that I wore to my wedding rehearsal dinner 7 years ago. But, until then, let's talk consumeable goods. Here's the list I made on day 160. (we're on day 151 if you're keeping track)

My Rewards Along The Way -
Black strappy shoes - because fat feet don't look nice in them
Manicure/pedicure - to show off the toes in the strappy shoes
Full body massage - necessary from all the exercising!
New tennis shoes - ok, a fitness necessity, true, not really a reward
Brown leather belt - to show off the flat tummy
Victoria Secrets Bra - I've never had one, actually never shopped there for more than lotion!
Dance Lessons - Sunny, if you're reading this, I need those moves girlfriend!
Dinner at the Melting Pot - No, this does not count as a food reward!
Vera Bradley bag & wallet - Never had one of these either!
Sexy bathing suit - because I'll need it for...
.... the ultimate reward ...
A Windjammer Cruise for 2 - actually set as the reward for the phase 3 goal of 73 pounds, but something tells me when I hit 50, hubby will say we can go!

But... let's not get too carried away. At 8 pounds, I celebrated with a new makeup bag, and a chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-A. But I didn't eat the biscuit!!! :) Honest.
