In trying to lose weight, inspiration is equally important as perspiration. Rewarding yourself for every milestone reached is very important in sustaining your motivation to lose weight.
In my case, I promised to give myself a reward for every 10 pounds that I lose. Thus, everytime I'm working my butt off at the gym, I keep my eyes on the prize.
When I lost the first 10 pounds, I rewarded myself with a spanking new gym shoes... Nike Free version 7.0. I bought it on sale, but who cares? It's a Nike Free.
Now that I'm nearing my 20-pound weight loss mark, I'm thinking of giving myself a new reward. I first thought of eating in my favorite restaurant, Tokyo Cafe. However, I think that the 20-pound weight loss reward should be better than the 10-pound one. But I would still eat at Tokyo Cafe to celebrate the 20 pounds that I lost. That could be next week, hmm...
Right now, I still haven't decided. It's a toss up between a dress and a new bag. What do you think? Better think fast 'coz I'm almost there.
I have struggled with weight problems since childhood. I am now in my 30s, married with two daughters, and I am determined to change my life by improving my health and fitness. I decided to document my experiences on the road to fitness.
