A New Reward Built for Two

One of my dear friends from college is about to start on a journey to lose 30 lbs.

I'm so excited for her. She and I BOTH have about 30 to go.... so, she mentioned she might need something to motivate her. WELL, I'm a big believer in rewards, so we got to talking.... and we both love to travel.

And somehow through our 2 hour conversation....

We decided that when we lose our 30 lbs each....

We're going to GREECE!!!

We're going to start planning when we're down 20 lbs each. I honestly could use a little push to finish this up! I've been barely losing for weeks. Sigh.

So... I know some of you have been there. What tips do you have for us?

I have about 120 to go, but my sister is moving to the UK for 2 years in 3 weeks so my goal is get there before she comes home so we can do it together! It's a fantastic motivation!! I'm sure you and your friend will have a blast!

How great that your sister can meet you there??? I'll keep you guys posted as I begin planning (hopefully by the end of the year!)

@DebO... I'll definitely need some tips from you!

@Laurel... Of course you can start planning! I'm just waiting until I know we're DEFINITELY going to get myself REALLY invested mentally. Keep looking! I can't wait to look at the website you sent over. I'm just doing boring work tonight.
