When we thought my son was going to graduate on December 10th, I decided then that I would set a weight loss goal of 285lbs.  I’ve been dieting somewhat but not seriously until the first day of November.  Hence the Day Count.  When I set the goal I weighed in at 305.  This morning I weighed in at 289 lbs.  If I go by the past few weeks I should reach this mini goal by sometime next week.

All my adult life I’ve been doing some type of dieting. I’ve been setting goals and rewarding myself with different things such as a cheat day, a special meal or I’ll even go buy a special something that I’ve been wanting for a while.  As you can guess none of these really help me especially the food.  I really want to stay away from rewarding myself with food.  That’s never a good thing.

For those that do a lot of dieting and rewarding yourself with rewards, what are some of the rewards that you give yourself for reaching your goals?

Today’s total was three miles at 3.4 mph.
