Rewards

Well here I am.  1 week in!!  I decided last Friday that I was ready to make a change.  I used to reward myself with food, especially on Friday nights after a hard work week.  I would look forward to that pizza all day Friday and would eat the whole thing, with garlic butter.  I would order a small 10 inch with pepperoni, mushroom and onion.  My absolute favorite from my favorite pizza parlor ever, Marco's.  Still a total of 1,000 calories, not to mention the added fat, cholesterol and bad carbs.  Anyways, I got off of work at noon.  I earned a half day off due to a 94% compliance on one of my case load books.  100% is a full day off, and I am still striving for that after being with my company for 2 1/2 years.  Major excuse today for a reward.  Anyways, I had to pick up a few things at the market.  Heatlhy of course, along with some paper products.  Anyways, I thought as I pulled into the parking lot, I must reward myself!!  I simply love love love fresh flowers and decided if some were on sale, then they were mine.  I am on a budget, so this is a way of treating myself, without breaking the bank.  I got into the store and rounded the corner to the discounted flowers and they had a large selection of dozen rose bundles up for grabs.  I think I got the prettiest bunch.  Yellow with pink accent.  As I look over at them right now, it makes me smile and feel happy about my accomplishment so far.  What a nice treat!!
