I decided I need an incentive to get my butt to the gym. Being healthy is apparently not enough. I realized I need someone to bribe me, but there's no one really in that position, so I will have to bribe myself. I'm not going to set goals in terms of pounds lost, just the amount of times I go to the gym. And strength training doesn't count, because that's an appointment I have with my trainer. I'm only counting the times I go on my own.

So, after 25 visits to the gym, I get the tattoo I've been wanting.

50 visits= dress from Anthropologie

75 visits= tickets to the opera or some other event

100 visits= Wii with Mario Kart

125 visits= diamond earrings

150 visits= trip to Phoenix to see Rachel (as per her request)

How am I going to pay for these things? With a credit card. It's give and take, friends; I can't be responsible in every aspect of my life. :)
