Reward Program

The hubs and I were talking this afternoon about setting goals and rewards and we came up with a plan that I totally love! You see, I'm the type of person who wants instant gratification but I know I can't have that with weight loss. However, I can be rewarded for my efforts (other than being healthy). So here's what we've come up with...

For every pound I lose, I earn $10 to put towards anything I want. When we first started talking, the reward was new clothes but, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that new clothes are a necessity and shouldn't classify as a reward. Now, I won't get my reward until the end of every month. Think about that - if I lose 5 pounds in a month, that's $50 I get to spend on anything I want! How great is that?

I'm so excited to get started. Not only is this going to help me stay motivated but it's going to get me some pretty good loot! I'm going to use the "extra" money to get some things off my Amazon wish list. I can't wait to start losing because I've got my wish list prioritized. Can you tell I'm excited?!

Okay, it's time for me to get that housework done!
