Manna from Heaven!

So as I approach my 50 pound weight loss goal (only 4 pounds away as of June 10) I am left in a quandary.  I need to find ways to keep myself motivated, ways to reward myself that are not food.  So today I gave myself an almost there gift, I purchased sports bottoms.  Capris, shorts and pants.  The shorts and capris are compression pants.  I just used the capris to work out and I LOVE them.  They really do make my workout feel different so I'm going to keep them up.  I'm so happy with that particular purchase I'm going to tell the world.  I already told my cousin about it.  Because, of course, she's my soundboard.  Those pants felt so good I'm now amped to keep using them and working out in them.  I'm definitely feeling motivated to keep moving:)

Now, the next question is what will I gift myself as a reward for my next actual milestone.  I want to do something about my 50 lbs weight loss and I'm thinking of something that will be drastic and never before done by me........wait for it......a pedicure! Can you imagine?  I've never done a pedicure.  People who know me, know that: 1. I don't like my feet to be touched and 2. I can do it myself so I don't see why I would pay someone else to do it.  Now the question is going to be where am I going to go and who am I going to take with me?  This is a big decision.  I need people with me who will know what a momentous occasion this is going to be for me and give said occasion its due reverence.  Lol.  Or if not that, someone who will stand between me and the door so I don't run out of there as if my hair was on fire.  (Because I've actually had my hair catch fire and running is your first instinctive response).   It's one of those crazy things but with 50 lbs of loss I'm close to what I think I want the halfway mark to be.  What makes it crazy is because I'm actually feeling like I'm going to get there and because I'm actually thinking beyond food.  And, I say I think its close to the halfway point because I have not given that final goal number an actual thought.  But I'm good for it!  So these little gifts to me are going to be my manna to sustain me and keep me going until I reach the promised land!  Someday I will be finding my GOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!
