I’m quite the bargain shopper, so once I reach my goal weight, I will need to be creative in finding new articles of clothing to replace my wardrobe. I’ve started a “weight loss rewards” envelope and each week, I hope to put in a few dollars to fund my rewards along the way.

My birthday is in a few weeks, so I want to have lost 10 pounds before being able to go out with Peter and enjoy my birthday dinner. Also, ‘can use wine Groupon’ references this awesome Groupon I bought that allows me to get $40 worth of wine at a local vineyard. I paid $13 for it, so that is a great deal! It will also make for a lovely wine tasting date, so I’m very excited to get to that 30-pounds lost mark. At 35 pounds lost, I will be halfway to my goal and either at or just about at the under-200 pounds mark so I figured that called for a mini-makeover for new make-up. This process isn’t just about losing weight; it’s about feeling better and being happy with myself and my appearance.
