Motivators


I have a new goal. I have a new goal because I've gained 16 pounds in the past 5 months. No, I'm not pregnant. I just haven't been able to keep my weight down since I stopped breast feeding. These four items are my motivators. Every time I reach my new "goal", I will purchase one as my reward. I figure it's a lot less expensive than any weight loss programs out there.

How will I achieve my goals? I started working out again as of last night. I will be eating healthier. Well, I do have a date with some German cheesecake this next week. Other than that, I will be eating healthier and being a better advocate for my body. I'm excited! My end goal is to reach my goal weight by mid November. I have 3 months. It's 5.33 lbs. a month. That's healthy, right?

Way to go Cecily! I am so about making goals public and having tangible rewards. Good luck. I may just jump on the band wagon with you!

Good for you! I should follow your example :)
A couple months ago we started getting bountiful baskets and just trying to eat all the produce (I hate to waste it) each week has changed our eating habits. It saves us money on our grocery bill too; I love it.
Keep us updated! I am excited for you to get that purse; it looks really cute.

And, by the way, I still think you look great. :)

I love your motivators! You'll have to let me know when you reach your first goal. What are you doing to work out? I need a new video. I miss you, Cec! Good luck with your weight goals.
