Day 56

So as the game plays out I keep setting myself some non-calorie/non-weight related mid and long range goals for this diet.  I've thought of a few, but I'd love to hear any other suggestions people might have.  Here's a couple I've thought of:

1. When my half-marathon training begins again in February I'd like to be able to keep up with the runners, for at least the first couple training sessions.
2. When I walk into a gathering with people who haven't seen me since before the diet started (at least 3 different X-mas events as an example), I want them to say "oh my god Seth, you've lost so much weight!"
3. I'd like to fit into a couple different shirts I have that became too tight after washing.
4. When I go to the doctor for a physical in the next couple months, I want him to actually be impressed that I finally listened to him.

Some of them are technically weight-related, but the reward has little or nothing to do what the number on my scale is, and more to do with self-satisfaction.  If anyone else has some similar types of rewards I might expect to see if I keep this up, post them in the comments.
