Reward Yourself

Nothing feels better then working towards, and obtaining, a certain goal. Really, what else could we ask for but finishing what we started out doing in the first place. I wish I was closer to finishing my journey... and in time I will be... but for now I can enjoy the here and now.

Anyway, Hubby reminded me of one of my goals that I was working towards and had somehow forgotten about. I am working towards having an amazing body, but mostly so I can put THIS on it!!




That's right.... Tiger Lily's!!! I love this tattoo and dream about it looking that good on me. Obviously this woman is in great shape and probably weighs 110 lbs... but here is my goal :

I have a half marathon coming up in January that I am super excited to run. It is 6 months away, which gives me time to drop at least 20 more lbs. IF I lose the weight and finish the half marathon I will reward myself with this tattoo! Talk about an awesome prize.

In other news... I wore a pair of my 'skinny jeans' all day yesterday with no pain, no numb legs and no red marks across my belly!! They are a size 14 in Juniors that I used to wear when I was 21... 10 years ago! Yes, that is how long I have stuffed these bad boys in the cold, dark corner of my closet. Now they are seeing the sunshine!!

That's a big tat!!! It does look really nice though. I have always wanted some ink, just don't know what to get given its a life long commitment. Sounds like a great way to motivate yourself through the next few months.

I love that tattoo, but my husband (sitting next to me) says he'll divorce me if I got a tattoo... Right.

I actually have a shirt tucked a way in my suitcase from when I was at university twenty years ago... and I fully intend to wear it again!

That's SUCH an awesome tattoo! I can't wait for you to get it! I also have a "goal tat" I really want one on my hip. It's pretty much designed in my head, but as soon as I actually have a hip you can see, I'm gettin' inked!

I hope you printed that out and stuck it somewhere where you can see it everyday. It'll motivate you! :)
