Monday morning, again

Why does Monday keep coming back?? Oh. right. Never mind.
Anyway:
7/11: 208
7/18: 206
Hooray! Another 2 lbs down!
When I realized that I am a mere 7 lbs away from a HUGE (no pun intended) goal (being under 200 lbs) I actually got chills. I know, corny. But when you are closing in on a goal - a dream really - that you couldn't forsee happening when you were 365 lbs and feeling totally hopeless, it's a big freakin deal.

So, then I started thinking about a goal-gift. I mean, come on! When I finally get there I should be able to reward myself right! It's so funny that in the not so distant past a reward would have certainly been food related. Now, of course, if I did that, I would undo the thing I was being rewarded for! Duh! LOL

So, I have a few things in mind:
1. Reiki session - this is ringin' my bell right now!
2. Tickets to see a show (with the hubs, of course!)
3. Facial
I really don't know. I mean - this is big, and frankly, deserves a big reward, but a big reward usually equals big money, which I don't have. So, what do you think guys? Do you have any more ideas? Preferably amazing and cheap - lol, no pressure.
Had a great meeting with my Damsels in De-Stress yesterday. We had great discussion on self-confidence, self-talk, and self-worth. It was a LOT for one meeting, and frankly a little overwhelming. Have you ever stopped and thought about how often you speak to yourself negatively? I bet it's a lot more than you think. Try to become more aware of it. Would you speak to a best friend that way? To your mother?
So, today, I will attempt to notice any negative self talk and TRY to spin it more positively.
What are YOUR goals today? Besides coming up with an awesome reward for me.
