Using getting even to get to goal

I was gifted an extra 2 months on the end of my maintenance program so I didn't eat so well during the holidays. Now I have just enough time to lose 2 pounds per week to be eligible for my rebate which is doable if I work hard right? Yesterday a couple of gals were asking me when my rebate was due and how close I was. I let them know and they went on and on about how I wouldn't be able to do it because those last 5 pounds were going to stick like glue. I kept interrupting, trying to keep positive, letting them know if I eat right and continue my exercise I could do it. It didn't take more then a few minutes of their negativity that at the grocery store an hour later I bought junk and came home to eat it upset. Today? I'm ready to show them!! Bet they would be unhappy to know that I'm using them as motivation to get to goal by that time just to show them. I noticed on Biggest Loser they have homework at night of exercise after exercising during the morning. I'm betting this is to boost metabolism to lose those big #'s. I'm not wanting to burn out so just a little 30 minutes on the elliptical should be enough to guarantee my 2 pounds if I do my morning walk and afternoon weight training. For weight training I do 30 minutes upper body and then the next day 30 minutes of lower body with my thigh master and a book I have. If I get that 2 pounds on Saturday weigh in I'll gift myself to a Sunday off day with the exception of making sure I have 10,000 on my pedometer that day. Here is to using anything to motivate!
