What do you REWARD yourself with?

[72butterfly]

I made a list at the beginning and as I feel I have earned something I buy it. A new exercise dvd, exercise equipment, exercise clothes, gift cards to my favorite places, something I have wanted for a really long time, etc

I have a poster at home with every kilo I lose attached to a reward. Depending on how far I get, some of the rewards are bigger than others. Examples include:

-Buy a trashy magazine

-Pedicure

- Movie night at cinema

- Hot chockie

- dinner out with partner

- Get my hair done

- Have a massage

- Get a facial

- Buy some new makeup

-Buy some new clothes

-Picnic with partner

- Celebrate with a girly night

-Gold Class at the cinemas

-Buy a piece of jewellery

-Go to the theatre

- Buy a nice pair of shoes

-Day spa

- A gorgeous dress

FINAL prize: dinner at Flower Drum (very expensive Chine Restaurant voted top 5 in the world!)

Other inexpensive things could be a picnic at the beach with a loved one, buying an inspirational book, going for a cocktail, or a day off from the usual exercise/gym routine!

At this time I have rented new workout dvd's and have copied them - this saves me money. I have purchased $3 weights...I have had my hair done...I indulge in MY time. I really take advantage of my workouts - b/c this is MY time! I have rewarded myself with Frozen Yogurt, too....that is a good treat! The usual pat on the back is a good reward - telling myself that I am doing a wonderful job - these don't cost a thing and they make you feel good. Another thing I have done - I had my hubby take a before picture of me - I had another one taken last month and again this past week. I can visually see the difference in my weight...very rewarding - seeing that you are losing the weight.
