Right now the most important item on my 43 Things list is “lose 20 pounds before I move.” So I decided to turn my massage goal into an incentive—when I lose the first 10 pounds, I can get my massage. I figure this will be a good motivator and reward for myself.

I’m so close—only 3.4 pounds left to lose before I get that massage! And that will also mean I’m halfway done with my weight loss goal :)
