An Incentive Skirt

Well, things have changed. I'm now on sparkpeople. I still need to cancel my weight watcher's membership so I can stop getting billed for it. I haven't been in forever. Sparkpeople works when I stick to it. I had a day of getting back on track yesterday. It went pretty easily. I guess that's what happens when you have a bad head cold and don't really care to eat anyways. Bleh - feel pretty blah today.

Anyways, I've joined a community choir in town and we're performing selections from different operas in May. I'm going to have to buy an outfit as I don't own the necessary attire for the performance. I've figured that I have 13 weeks until the performance. SO, I thought this would be a great incentive. All of my previous incentive clothes now fit so it's time for a new incentive. I've decided that I will buy my skirt in a size or two smaller than what currently fits. How's that for incentive? I think it will be fun. So I guess my weight loss goal for the 13 weeks is going to be between 15 and 20 pounds. I'm not sure how pounds correlate with sizing. I'm sure there's not a set formula for that as everybody's body is different. So I'll probably just try some things on and see what feels too tight but reasonable to fit into within about 3 months time.

So I'm trucking along. I feel like I've got my motivation is back. It's interesting how it seems to come in waves. But as I've said before I'm just happy that I didn't gain it all back. That in and of itself is a HUGE accomplishment.
