rewarding myself

The incentives to continue on this most epic journey of personal achievement are sometimes intangible. But every so often, being the human female that I am, I yearn for something tangible that I can hold, touch, and revel in owning as a reward for working hard. I feel like I've worked very hard becoming a happier, healthier me.

Have I reached a particular weight goal? No, because I don't have a weight goal. Have I reached a particular pant's or clothing size? No, because I haven't set a goal for that, either.

But I have reached a time where I just want something. I want a present, I want physical acknowledgment that I have come a long way and am doing great. Basically, I want to spend some money. So, I'm rewarding myself for working out nearly every day since I started this journey. I'm rewarding myself for not eating out this whole time and for eating less portions and sticking to my eating schedule. I'm rewarding myself for sticking to my guns and not letting myself down.

How am I going to reward myself?





Yes. Yes. Yes. I have wanted these shoes since the day I laid eyes on them earlier this year in Kohl's. The price tag kept me from bagging a pair, but I've decided that there's no time like the present time! I've saved so much money from not eating fast food and from planning my meals weekly that I can afford these shoes, and I'm going to buy them. I'm also planning on buying some new clothes as well, mainly underwear because I need better fitting ones. But I'm not going to go too crazy since I still have a lot of weight to lose and won't be the size I am today for too long. I'm also getting my hair cut, which isn't quite part of the reward, but something I need to do, it keeps getting in my face and bothering me!

So this Saturday is going to be my reward day. I'm going to go clothes shopping, buy those outrageous shoes that I love and maybe a cute new outfit, or at least new underwear, and get my haircut. I might go get my nails done as well, not sure about that part... I'm just going to relax and spend a day pampering myself and spending some hard-earned cash on things I want instead of just things I need. I'm also going to a night club with some friends that night, and will allow myself a few celebratory drinks as well. I can't wait, I deserve to pamper myself as a reward for all my hard work!
