Reward #1

Every time I lose 10 lbs I am going to reward myself with something I really, really want.  This might actually be a bit of a challenge since I usually much prefer spending money on people I love rather than myself.  However, I'm trying to convince myself that this is not the least bit selfish.

So, I'm working on a list.  Most of the early rewards will cost very little.  Milestone rewards will be a bit bigger.  Then when I get near my goal, when the weight comes off a lot slower, I'll give myself more significant rewards.  I know me.  I know that as I get close to my goal I'll feel great and will probably tell myself that I've lost enough.  I want to do this all the way, so the reward list will be a good tactic to encourage myself to not give up.  The big reward will, of course, be the mambo lessons for Eddy and me.

Reward #1: New colour for fall

My first 10 pounds has been rewarded with something that is pricier than the average reward on my list, but it has given me a very nice confidence boost.  I went to a salon to get my hair coloured. The photo doesn't do it justice.  It's close to my natural light brown colour, but with some nice reddish shades for fall.  I love it!
