What are your mini goals and how do you reward yourself?

Hi Guys,

I've read that little rewards for reaching your mini goals helps the motivations. My reward for when I reach my goal weight is a new wardrobe (as I'll need it!!) but I'm not sure about my 2 week goal and my Easter Goal.

My Current Mini Goals are:

> To be within my calorie limit for 2 weeks constantly on MFP
> To do some for of exercise every day for 2 weeks
> To lose 28lbs by Easter Sunday

for me i have been here for a couple of months but have just think about sitting some mini goals

this week goal is to include fruits in my diet n my reward would be just going out with my friends but if i didn't i will spend the weekend in my home alone

another one is reaching 150lbs by the end of Feb n the reward for that is getting my nose pierced

140 by the summer >>> have a trip probably to somewhere in the us

130 then it will be the time to do shopping n get rid of all my old clothes

I've not actually thought of mini goals so thanks for posting this as I think that it'll be good to have some short term goals!

I reward myself with junk food.
That's more of a joy to me than most anything.

So, I have my weekly "free day" and monthly binge day.
That keeps me going as I lose weight and body fat.

Without knowing I could eat fabulous foods, none of this would be worth it, and I'd quit.
This Friday my reward is a trip to Red Lobster.
Tuesday my reward was a huge plate of wings.

LOVE IT!

My reward for a mini goal is a pair of VS yoga pants. I have one pair and they are so incredibly comfortable yet so expensive so it will definitely be a great treat.

My mini goal is to be out of the 160's by Valentine's Day. I weighed 164 this morning so just a little more!!!!

I've been going back and forth about what my reward will be... either a new fitness DVD or there is a hair clip I have my eye on or I may just set cash aside. We are going to Disney in March and I may need some new shorts.

Everytime I loose another 10 pounds, I get a massage.

I have mini goals of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of my body weight. My final goal is a 25% loss, based on my original weight. I tried to decide what to do to reward myself for the milestones between starting and my ultimate. I thought about clothes, but I didn't want to spend money on something I hoped not to fit into soon (plus, I know along the way I'd have to buy some new things anyway). I thought about spa services, but I'll end up doing it for myself anyway. And I certainly cannot reward myself with food - kind of goes against everything I'm fighting for right now.

So, I decided on a new Sweaty Band. They're these awesome headbands that do not slip. I figured I'd buy a new one for each milestone and then when I wear them during workouts, I'd be reminded of all the work I've already done. Motivation to keep going. Plus they'll still fit when I'm done with all this! www.sweatybands.com
