New here--just set my goal

[MissDaisyofTexas]

Hi everyone--

I'm new to this WISH board and just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I've been thinking about eating better and exercising more for a while, and a week ago I decided to really go for it. DH is being very supportive and has rearranged his schedule so that I will have more opportunities to exercise. DH said I could pick some rewards when I reach certain milestones (my goal is 60 pounds for the year). So after much discussion, this is what we decided:

* First 20 pounds = pedicure
* Next 20 pounds = massage
* Final 20 pounds = Disney cruise (Yes, I'm highly motivated now! Never been on one. I can't believe he agreed to that.)

Anyways...I hope to learn from everyone here. I'm pumped up!

Congrats on your decision! I am new to the wish board myself - just began my eating healthier, getting fit journey on Dec 31st. My only goal is to walk on my treadmill every day for 30 minutes. I think rewarding yourself at various points along the way is a great idea and what a great final reward for you!

You can do it! :)

Congratulations on your upcoming Disney Cruise! Whoo hoo! You can do it.

Do what you can though to consider this a lifestyle change so your success will be something you will keep. Make yourself think in terms of giving yourself healthy fuel instead of depriving yourself.

BL is a big supportive thread. If that's not for you, join in anywhere.
