There's two sides to this coin: I have not been exercising. Like, at all. Unless you count the hours I spent raking and mowing the yard last weekend...I don't, but only because back when I started the skinnyblog, I said everyday acts wouldn't count as exercise (taking stairs, yard work, walking around the store, etc). It had to be purposeful exercise, which this was not.
But, I have been doing admirably well on my portions! Even at the Thanksgiving yesterday for Ben's family, I only had one plate of food. I did graze a bit a little later, but not nearly as much as before. I'm really proud of myself. I've also lost nine pounds already since I started the portion control (about a month and a half ago if you're following along at home).
I've decided to do something nice for myself when I lose 10 lbs. Suggestions have been: an hour massage, a mani/pedi and something not on clearance (that last idea was mine). Don't get me wrong--the massage sounds amazing and the mani/pedi is really desperately needed, but someone said something about getting something not on clearance that struck home with me. They said I should get something that could be a reminder of the work I did to lose the weight. I like that thought. The mani/pedi and massage could be rewards for future weight loss. Do you have any other ideas for a weight loss reward?
