Additional incentive

So I took Mark to see "Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles" today, an early birthday gift. It was a good (not amazingly fabulous) show and we had a good time. Of course we had a great time going to lunch beforehand and being able to talk without midgets around. We went to Oasis for lunch and shared a maza platter with khyaar bi laban instead of baba ghanoush (I hate eggplant), and we shared lamb kabobs. While we were there we were talking about our plans for the year, including my work plans (which we all know are on hold, pending the ultra sound on Tuesday. Yay for 24 oz. of liquid in my bladder while they push on me with the magic wand), our plans for the summer, and so forth. While I won't mention what specifically was said, I will say that he provided me with an incredible incentive to get healthy and lose the weight. (Unfortunately, he also provided incentive for continuing to work at least through June. We'll see how that goes...)
Lisanne called and invited Mom and Dad to breakfast tomorrow. I think we will start the day with Devin Alexander's chocolate chip pancakes - I'll have to cook them in my non-Circulon pans...gosh darn it! But here's the deal: It's time to set my goal. I'm giving myself a halfway checkpoint to keep my head removed from my @$$...by June, I will have lost 25 pounds. I will be exercising regularly (although I'm sure not daily)...and I will continue to work for as long as I possibly can (without pulling out a sharp knife and committing hari kira or some sort of -icide.)
I wish I had some sort of specific incentive that if I did hit the goal WOULD happen and if I didn't hit the goal WOULDN'T. The incentive Mark provided would happen either way - I would just be happier if I were healthier when it happened. Any suggestions? Let me know...
