I'm going to lose enough weight to win my dream vacation
I had the most awesome , motivating conversation with my boyfriend last night. I was talking about how much better I feel since I started eating right and exercising. But how I still felt like this was going to take forever to get down to my final goal of 150. That is 80 pounds to lose still. He broke it down and said " You lost 13 pounds in three weeks, what if you lose that much every month for the next 6 months ? " I said " OK if I lost 13 pounds a month for 6 months it would equal 78 pounds " . And he said " Thats 2 pounds away from your goal." I know he is right , it just seems so far away and how I have never been thin again since the birth of my first child who is now 14. So then he said " I will make you a deal , you get down to your goal of 150 , heck I will even say 160 and we will go on your dream caribbean vacation. " So the conversation continued and he promised me that we would go on our dream vacation when we hit our weight goals. He said that would mean we were in shape enough to do the things we would want to do on the vacation and feel confident and enjoy it way more than we would now because we both arent happy with ourselves. He is a certified scuba diver and wants to scuba dive in some beautiful location. He said he would be thrilled if I would try it and we could do it together.
So on top of all the other reasons I want to lose this weight I now have another AMAZING incentive. And I know he is right that I would enjoy this vacation way more once I get to where I want to be.
I hope this doesn't make him sound like a jerk or anything because thats not it at all. we have been together for almost 6 years and he has been my best friend and rock through alot of trying times in life, as I have been his. Im lucky enough to be in love with my best friend. I know that he knows that I am not happy with myself. I know that he loves me regardless and he truly just want me to be happy and healthy. Same as I want for him.
Oh and by the way , does shoveling 8 inches of snow from my driveway and then my grandmas to help her out count as my workout for today. I am trying to get the motivation to work out anyway , but WOW that really kicked my butt.

Chryssm I have been to the Caribbean many times, you will love it down there, I think it is better to fly down that way you have more time to spend down there. Each time was so amazing, I think St Crox was the best but St Thomas and Paradise Island in the Bahamas was also really wonderful. What a wonderful reward and goal.

You go girl!!What an awesome extra incentive!! You can do it!! Win that trip :-). My sisters and I have been planning a trip as well if we reach our weight loss goals. I also planned to take the kids to Disney this year and I wanted to be able to enjoy walking around. Sounds like you have a great boyfriend :-). Hey shoveling snow is definitely a great work out and building a snowman too. :-)

I think I should hang pictures of caribbean beaches on my fridge ... And a bikini ! LOL that oughtta stop me from eating anything bad. that sounds fun to take a trip with your sisters, Are you guys doing the weight loss thing together ?. This just made me remember a day last summer.We bought a used ski boat in june , for weeks after we got it I kept begging him to let me ski. And he kept saying , I really dont think you should , You will hurt yourself , you forget that you aren't in shape like you used to be when you used to do that. My stubborn ass insisted that I was going to ski ... And I was cocky and swore I could do it ... Well he was right and I was WRONG ( Sometimes I forget that I am not little anymore, and Im outta shape )... I didnt have the upper body strength to get up on the skis and pretty much just got dragged under water over and over and over again as I kept insisting that I try again and again and again. When it was over , NO I didnt ski and I felt like a complete fat failure ... There is another goal, I am gonna water ski again.

Of course shovelling counts! And that is awesome that he is so supportive! A vacation would be so nice! And losing weight takes time. Don't get frustrated, just keep working towards your goals and you will get there :)
