Here's a new way to treat yourself

TheGoalDigger

I was on Google trying to figure out some quotes to motivate me and I stumbled upon a picture



I think it's an amazing way to treat and motivate yourself

I just had to share it with you guys.

I can't put a $ in every time either, IOUs might leave an empty feeling. Anything even nickel or dime, it adds up.

Love this idea!

great idea but money is always an issue

good idea! Although I think I'd have to put more than $1 to stay motivated lol!

I've heard of ppl doing this for every pound they lose... that's a good one too.

Hmm...went and looked at a BMW 320 earlier....better get my *kitten* down that gym!

Love it!!! I am going to do that....

Like someone above had said - it all adds up! I remember reading (a while ago) about someone who ran in New York city every day. He made a point of picking up all the change he saw on the ground and after a year, he had enough to go on a vacation! Keep your eyes open!

I feel like a nice alternative to money would be putting folded up slips of paper with fun activities written on them in a jar.
Things like: dinner out, new book, new outfit, trip to an art gallery etc (can also include things that don't cost dinero0
Once you reach..say 30 days of exercise you pick a slip and reward yourself

My big downfall was a nightly drink or glass of wine (or 2). So now my treat for myself is that for ever hour I workout in a week, I am allowed one drink. Been doing insanity, so ~40 min per day, 6 times a week is 4 drinks allowed by the weekend. On Sunday, the clock resets and I must earn my drinks again (no rollovers). It's been a fun way to cut my consumption of empty calories and motivate myself to exercise, especially if there is a wedding coming up. :-)

bump - i think we should have a challenge and see who raised the most. we'll only do it with quarters though

I like that idea better... easier on my wallet, but still motivational!

I love this idea. I don't have a jar, but I've got this tall mug I can use. I'm going to start tonight.

I never carry cash.. Shame jars don't accept credit. :P

rubymerryn

I am going to start doing this!

I have a calender which I put fun stamps on if I work out or acheive my calorie goal, but now I am going to put $2 in each day I make my 1200cal and $1 for every workout.

Hello new running shoes
