Do you reward yourself when you reach your goals?

in Introduce Yourself
I've been doing insanity, and I want to do five rounds this year (my all time favorite workout). And every time I finish a round, I reward myself with more work on my tattoo sleeve and something else. So far I have, a new wardrobe, a new Shaun t DVD set, and my ultimate reward is a vacation. I can't think of two more rewards yet, so I wanted to see what you all have waiting for you.

    I definitely do! :) It gives me something to look forward to. I got myself a new fitness top ("My sports bra works harder than you!") for losing 10lbs. After losing the next 15lbs, I will be getting a new pair of workout shoes. :) After the next, some new fitness wear and/or a new HRM. My last reward is definitely a new wardrobe.

    That's okay. We're satisfied with bodybuilder's physiques.

    I have a little goal/reward calendar...my goals start at 10 lbs and go all the way to my goal weight...so my rewards look like this right now (and do change as time goes by):

    10 lbs - New workout top or bottoms
    20 lbs - small tattoo
    30 lbs - New gym shoes
    40 lbs - Date night with a new dress
    50 lbs - mani/pedi
    Goal Weight - tattoo (either a new addition to my half sleeve or my thigh piece)

    I think the "rewarding yourself" ploy is a great way to stay motivated. Since I only recently got my butt back up and working out like I should, I haven't hit a level that justifies the rewards I want. I've got another 8ish pounds to go before I get buy myself a rather expensive pair of boots that I've been drooling over for nearly a year. And from there another 30ish pounds to my goal weight... which is when I'll allow myself to get the tattoo I've wanted for a really long time. :smiley:

    Yes. I tend to reward myself with something that accentuates my goal. Like if I nailed legs for the past few weeks and they're looking great, I'll buy a new dress or shorts. If my arms are the ones that responded best since last goal, I'll go for that awesome top I've wanted. I reward a lot of clothes haha.
