Rewards...

Just wondering what kind of non food rewards everyone gives themselves when they've hit a fitness or weight loss goal?

I'm trying to come up with ways to keep me motivated.  I haven't been losing weight as fast as I would like but I understand that it's a slow moving process if it's done right.  My daily food journal is usually an A or A- and I exercise at least 40 mins 6 days per week doing Turbo Jam. 

Look forward to hearing from everyone!

It's hard because money is tight right now.  There are so many things that I want to do when I lose weight, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford it.

 I hear ya... this is a problem for me too.  I've already reached my first goal (was 10% start weight lost... actually hit 12% before I realized it) but haven't rewarded myself yet.  New workout clothes is top of my list though, as well as a new battery for my MIO.

I'm not sure how i'm going to stagger my next rewards though.  I need a new bike for a 50km race I'm doing in June, so I will DEFF. be getting that and a new helmet at some point.  I have another 28.5lbs to go before my (first) goal weight, so maybe in another 14 lbs I'll get the bike :) 

My final reward is going to be finishing the 50km bike race (on and off road), and knowing that when I started this journey, there was no way that I would have EVER been in good enough shape to do it.  I don't care if I WALK across the finsh line, I'm going to do it.

i'm going to splurge on purses... love'em

completely change my hair style

take a beach vacation .... well that's whether or not i meet my goals, but it will be an even sweeter vacation if i have the body i want.

can't wait. i haven't cheated at all the entire week. drinking lots of water till i'm completely full has been the trick that works for me so far. that's how i avoid the cravings.

I think that when I reach my goal that I'll have a professional family portrait done.  Recently, actually while looking for a profile picture, I realized that I'm in no family pics for the last 3 or 4 years.  Makes me very sad that I've (unconsciouly) avoided being in any pictures with my children.  I'd really like to look strong, healthy and happy in a nice family pic.
