motivation of sorts...
I have been doing Weight Watchers since early February. This is actually my third go around with the meetings and program. The first time around I was pretty successful, I lost a little over 25lbs in about 4 months time. I had some pretty significant motivation, my sister was getting married and I wanted to look nice in the pictures and well in general I wasn't liking the way I was feeling.
Then I got a new job, quit going, gained all my weight back plus some.
Well back in February a shirt I really liked no longer fit me and I decided that it was time I head back to good ole Weight Watchers. I lost consistently up until this summer, when my job moved to PA for the summer. I was successful this summer in the sense that I was able to maintain my weight. I count that as a significant success for me.
Well now I've been back in town for almost a month and I've gained weight the last two weeks and have felt absolutely no motivation. I really want to lose this weight, but it's just not been a priority. On the way to my meeting this afternoon I decided that I needed to come up with some sort of reward for myself. And well you see it pictured to your right.
I've been wanting one of these Vera Bradley purses for a while now. I bought myself a total $5 knock off at the beginning of the summer and well it's beginning to be completely obvious that it's a knock off. So I decided on the ride over that I would allow myself this purchase when I reach my 10% plus an additional 10lbs, I think that totals about 14lbs. So maybe Fall break I'll be able to make this exciting purchase!
I'll keep you posted.
