What's everyone doing to reward themselves?

I've been thinking a lot about this for myself and am curious, what are you all doing to reward yourself? The experts say you should reward yourself along the way for milestones...sticking to a certain goal all week, losing 5 pounds, etc. and that reward should not be food based.

For myself, I'm thinking every five pounds I'll splurg on something special for me...a pedicure or buying myself a gift I've had my eye on. Something I wouldn't always treat myself too...I was even thinking about finally buying a groupon for laser hair removal since I hope to be feeling all sexy for summer and wanna show off my hard work! :wink:

Do you all have plans for how you will reward yourself? What are the milestones you'll be rewarding youself for?

    I am going to HAVE to buy some new clothes! So maybe when I hit my goal (only 11 pounds away) I'll do that. Short-term? Hmmmm...I might just go get my skinny iced coffee by MYSELF (no kids allowed) when I get to 155 (TWO pounds away)...mmmm-mmmm! :-)

    I like my kids, but I love the idea of some 'me' time as my reward, even if it's reading a gossip magazine or something silly. Without having to get up 50 times to do something for the kids.

    I may reward myself with a fitbit force. That would be a splurge, but I think the wrist watch function of it might help me to continue to wear it daily, even after weight loss goals are met.
