I’ve decided I want to change my rewards scheme/plan/goals a bit. Since I feel really motivated and that I want to keep going with this plan and exercise I want to have a few material rewards at some big mile stones!

Once I have reached 200 lbs (meaning losing 27 lbs) (officially on the scale, and the scale says it, lets say 2-3 mornings in row) I am buying an ipod nano in pink, and an ipod nano exercise band. I realized that while my ipod shuffle provides music while I work out, I really wish that I had more of my collection to choose from. So once I have lost 27 lbs (more than I have ever lost before, I will buy myself an ipod nano!) Woo! I’m really hoping this is by Mid April-ish.  In fact according to my calculations(ish) I should be to around 197ish around April 10th. (If i continue losing at the rate I am… Fingers crossed! )  So I’m gonna give myself the goal date of being at 200 by (latest) April 15.   This may even motivate me to lose weight faster and stay more on track, because now i really want one, and the new pink one is so cute!  What I will really need to watch out for is spring break. wherever that is and whatever I do, I’ll really need to stay on track.

Once I have lost 70 pounds, which will be 20 pounds past my half way mark of weight I need to lose, I will then indulge in the iphone. I think the reason I am putting that off so far, is what I really want is just an ipod so I can listen to more music when I work out. Also the reason I put it at 70lbs is because that leaves only 30 lbs to go, and I think having that material object will be a reward that I only have 30% of my goal left to lose.

I’m so excited just THINKING about getting my new pink ipod nano, I can’t wait! I really hope I can stay on track through April.  This will be a real test!   Also, cant wait for my weigh in this week! I’m really excited!
