a reward system

Not sure if you adapt this in someway but...... In my last job I cycled to work 3 days a week. I calculated the cost of the fuel saving and credited myself with it. When I had enough saved up I purchased whatever I wanted with it completely guilt free and without consulting the household budget. Really encouraged me to cycle in on those days I didn't feel like it.

THAT is a GREAT plan! Love it!

I reward myself with fitness related products. But not for any particular goal. I just buy them as I need them to help with my journey. I got a treadmill, elliptical, recumbent stationary bike....smaller things like free weights, yoga mat, armband for my mp3 player, heart rate monitor...every few weeks get a new treat that gets you excited about working out all over again, something new to do, like a new workout DVD. My house now looks like a gym

Edit: oooh, and reward yourself with a kitchen scale if you don't already have one! It really helps! Makes cooking and eating more fun because it takes the uncertainty out of logging.
