Bribery will get you everywhere

Today was a good day.

I got back on Spark People and tracked my food and exercise.  I am headed to the gym in a few minutes.  I'm feeling good about where my life is right now.

Years ago I thought of a tattoo I wanted to get, but it symbolizes (for me) femininity and strength - 2 things I haven't felt in quite some time.  So I sorta shoved the thought off to the side.

This weekend I told my husband about the tattoo and why I wanted to get it.  He is 100% supportive.  I've decided to make it my reward for achieving my weight loss goal. 

To help me get there I've decided to pay myself for good behavior. *lol*  Working out, tracking food - I've given myself opportunities to earn up to $15 per week.  That money will go into a savings account for my tattoo.  Watching the money build up will be a good incentive!

Anyway, that's the plan I thought of to help keep me motivated.  Long range plans are good - but I need some short term payoff too!

Anyway, time to get ready to head to the pool.

Have a good evening!
