What is your goal?

I hope that your weight loss efforts are still continuing, after the first week's great results, we have to keep the motivation up to get to our initial goal. Have you been maintaining your two shakes and one bar per day, and one low GI meal plus a low GI snack?

If you want to give a little boost to your motivation, keep your goal clear in mind. Remind yourself every day, and make sure you set yourself a reward when reaching your goal, that will reinforce the maintenance of your goal. We are almost three weeks in our weight loss and should be getting closer to that goal.

I will be going away in August, so I want to have reached my goal by then. My own reward will be a shopping gift certificate at my favorite clothing store. However, I do not allow myself to do this shopping, order online any of these clothes before I reach my goal. I will keep both the picture of myself at my ideal weight as well as a picture of the styles I want to order. This will give me motivation and visualization tools.

Whatever is your own goal, set yourself a tangible reward and remind yourself of it everyday.

Enjoy your reward setting exercise and the beautiful sun outside! )
