It's a deal!

My mom called me the other day and told me that she wanted to make a deal with me. She has been doing her own weight loss regiment and wanted to make it a little more enticing for herself. I guess I must have popped into her head because she got an idea to make a deal with me. So here it is...
If I meet my goal by July 4th, she will buy me this swim suit I have been looking at but haven't bought because it would look ridiculous on my body as it is right now.
If she meets her goal by July 4th, I will buy her a massage (she will tell you that it is much needed)

GOAL: I am a size 12 now and I want to be a size 7 by then.

I wont share the details of my mom's goal but she is already on her way and doing very well.
Stay tuned!!!

hmmm

So I was watching the biggest loser tonight. It hasn't been on for 2 weeks because of the Olympics so I was excited to watch it again. It gives me a push to get my workouts done. I was a little disappointed to see how the teams were decided. The black team was the "weak" team and the blue team was the "strong" team. That plan backfired because the black team worked harder because they had something to prove. It made me start to ask myself if that was a good thing or a not so good thing? I get the whole "I'll show you" attitude but isn't it a little sad that we can't just do it on our own? What would happen if there wasn't somebody there to doubt you? I guess it bothers me because telling me I can't do something doesn't set a fire underneath me as much as others. I'm more of the positive feedback kind of person. The more positive things I hear, the more I work and the harder I work. So yeah that was my thought of the day.
