Ok so since I am pretty much starting back at square one, I have decided to update my reward system. No rewarding myself with eating out or buying junk!
260lbs - New jeans
250lbs - New complete outfit
240lbs - New Lululemon pants
230lbs - Buffalo shopping trip!
220lbs - New Lululemon sweater
210lbs - New ring
200 lbs - Trip to NYC!
My personal journey to permanent weight loss. My trials and tribulations, tips and goals, successes and defeats.

Wednesday, 25 January 2012
An Okay Day :P
Hello everyone! Had a an okay day today. The dizziness is a little better, my knee stills hurts and my dog destroyed my glasses while I was out today...but , a decent day, lol.
Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast:
Kashi GoLean (1 cup)
Skim milk (1 cup)
Banana
Lunch:
1/2 cup of quinoa
tuna-bean burger
salad with fat free, sugar free dressing
Snack:
Grapes
Banana
Dinner:

1/2 cup of brown rice with oyster sauce, chicken breast and vegetables (red and green peppers and onions)
The ohter day, I posted about my reward system and I said that once I hit 200lbs, if I wasn't engaged yet, I'd buy myself a nice ring :) This is the one I want...

You like? :) I wanted one that shows the my new-found love for myself (hence the hearts, lol). One that reminds me that I love myself enough to take care of myself. Also, something I can look down at and be reminded about how far I've come. I really hope I can get down to that weight soon :) Only 30lbs to go!

Updated Reward System
Recap on my reward system:
210lbs - Bench sweater or jacket
200lbs - A ring with white gold and diamonds :)
180lbs - New swim suit (2 piece?)
160lbs - Trip! Europe or NYC. Depending on the finances, lol.
New reward system:
220lbs - LuluLemon hoodie
210lbs - Laser hair removal
200lbs - A ring with white gold and diamonds (If I am not engaged by then, lol) If I AM... A new tattoo :)
180lbs - New swim suit (2 piece?)
160lbs - Trip! Europe or NYC. Depending on the finances, lol.
If you recall, I received my Lululemon sweater as a hand-me-down from Heather just before I hit 220lbs. It is the "yoga-material". When I was there last, I tried on the heavy sweater material and I can finally fit into a size 12! :) So THAT is my new 220lbs goal.
I quite a few Bench sweaters so I have changed my 210lbs goal to laser hair removal. Haven't decided where though, lol. My 200lbs reward is explained, lol.

220lbs Reward!
Recap on my reward system:
210lbs - Bench sweater or jacket
200lbs - A ring with white gold and diamonds :)
180lbs - New swim suit (2 piece?)
160lbs - Trip! Europe or NYC. Depending on the finances, lol.
I know I haven't hit the 220lbs mark but I am very close! The rewards from 220lbs and lower have been sorta stressing me out, mostly because I made them nice and big... and expensive, lol. I really lucked out with this reward since it was a hand-me-down! (Whoo, hoo for hand-me-downs!) My friend Heather from work has also lost a significant amount of weight and this sweater no longer fits her so she gave it to me! I am so excited that I am able to reward myself without having to rob a bank :)

Rewards!
Hello everyone!
Before I start talking about my reward system, I would like to annouce that I made it through a few days "away" with no cheating! :D Yay, me! There was a lot of temptation, but for some reason it was much easier than usual to say no. There were Krispy Kreme Donuts at Chris' mom's house, my dad made a cake concoction, and my mom made fresh peanut butter cookies and chocolate chocolate chips cookies. Ya! Tell me about it! We are at home now, one day early, watching movies :)
Let's talk rewards! In the past, I have often "rewarded" myself with treats. "Oh, I ate so well this week, I deserve to order a pizza", or "Yeah, I can have another big plate of pasta, I haven't eaten it all week!"
Unfortunately, this is what lead to my plateau that lasted FIVE MONTHS!!!
On Thursday, my mom and my sister went to Buffalo to go shopping. We used to go every 2 months or so and I used to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes. My sister asked me if I wanted to come and I didn't have to think about it too long, before I said "no, thanks".
Reasons being:
1) I have too much crap as it is (My clothes fill up, both of our dressers and nightstands, half of our closet, the closet in the spare room and a huge wardrobe in the spare room. I'm not kidding!)
2) I really don't have much extra cash to start spending on things that I don't need and
3) I don't want to buy anymore clothes meant to fit this body. (Size 18-20)
Due to this, I have decided to set my first goal: When my clothes become too big for me to wear to work, I will make a trip to Buffalo and spoil myself a little. That way, I am killing 2 birds with one stone. I also plan on making smaller goal intervals:
When I get to 240lbs - I will go for a massage
When I get to 230lbs - I will buy myself a new pair of jeans
When I get to 220lbs - I will go for a pedicure
When I get to 210lbs - I will buy myself a LuluLemon sweater, since they don't fit right now :(
When I get to 200lbs - I will buy myself a nice piece of jewelery, like something white gold with a few diamonds :)
Although, ideally I would like to lose a total of 100-120 lbs, I will re-evaluate my goals when I am getting closer to meeting them. So, set your goals and make 'em good! Remember, the bad food will still be there after you have lost weight, it's not going anywhere, it's not going to be extinct.
