Reward time... Finally!

... SparkPeople suggests you give yourself small rewards as you travel the road to weightloss success... I've given myself a few along my journey... a new pair of shoes, a necklace... a new outfit...

When I reached my 50 lb. goal... I thought I needed to give myself a GREAT reward... What to do? Before I could decide, I had made it to 55 lbs. off... Still I hadn't given myself a reward... I thought of a "journey" necklace... seemed appropriate... Still... days and days went by... Until last week.

Last week I started biking more, walking more... and my little $6 radio kept skipping and losing my station... every time I hit a bump in the road... So... I decided... I'm gonna buy myself a good MP3 player... That's what I'm gonna do... So.. without much thought... I talked to my son, Dan, and promptly ordered a iPod Nano... yep. I did.

I've been nervous about getting it for days... Can I do this? Am I smart enough to figure this new technology out?? (Not so new, but to me... very new!) Can I do it myself?? Or will I have to have help? (I did have to have help opening the package! Wow... what packing!)

It arrived yesterday... I anxiously opened the package... it was like Christmas... I was so excited... Rushed home... plugged it in to the computer... began reading info... and guess what???

IT IS THE MOST AWESOME REWARD EVER!!!! Oh, my gosh... I did it! I'm listening to it right now... It is the most awesome thing ever!!! What a reward... what a gift for my biking and walking... wow... this is going to make it so much nicer... AND I've already "danced" to two songs!!! That can't hurt either!! I've never been so excited....

Thanks Dan for the suggestion... Thanks Bekah for believing that I COULD DO THIS... and thanks... Apple!
