Rewarding yourself?

I am really falling off of the wagon lately... Part of my plan to get on track is to set up some mini-goals and rewards for meeting those goals. Of course, I don't want food rewards...cause that would just get out of hand, and they would probably be of the un-healthy variety... I am not much on shopping either...and since we are a family of five on one income, I don't have a lot of extra money lying around to reward myself with a shopping trip whenever I meet a goal... So, what kind of things have you used to reward yourself for a mini-goal reached that has really motivated you to move on and keep on keeping on the right track???

    I go to a thrift store and try on a size smaller pants/ shirts etc. And if they fit, I buy them! I usually only spend about 5 dollars max which is great because I don't want to be able to fit into them anymore by my next goal!
    Its cheap and super fun!

    Alot of my rewards for myself deal with clothes and shoes. My weight has been a roller coaster over the past 5 years so I have tons of all different size clothes in my closet. So, usually my goal is to fit into something that I havent been able to wear in a long time. Like for instance today, I have had my eye on a pair of khaki pants in my closet that I havent been able to wear in over 3 years...and they fit this morning! So, I didnt have to spend any money on that reward!
