Hey there Gentle Reader,

Another pufferfish day here in TO and my pufferfish, I mean my hair.  More waves than beach in Honolulu but I digress....on we go!

You know those fun gold stars we all enjoyed receiving as kids in school?  They were great to see stuck to your homework or on a chart or maybe your folks even had them at home on the calendar.  Well I'm here to say that you should STILL be getting them - from yourself.

We've chatted about Weight Watchers before and the beauty of this program is the whole support system. PLUS you get stickers!!! Whether you've lost a bit of weight, a lot, or even just had a positive week, you'll get a star to put in your book (journal).  Speaking of which, I will be going back soon.   Need to get back on the maintenance track!

You know how much I love to write out my goals (AND encourage you to do the same).  I am equally passionate about being rewarded for accomplishing the tasks!  I AM a Leo after all!!

The next time you have to organize your closet, why not make your "gold star" a latte with a friend after you're finished. That would keep me motivated!  You can actually use true gold stars if you'd like.  You can get them in any office supply store for a couple of dollars.  Hundreds of stars equals a lot of fabulous goals being reached!

Now I realize that completing the task should be reward enough BUT who doesn't love an extra pat on the back? We ALL do.

I'd call that a win-win!

Until Thursday.

Linda
