What do you reward yourself with?

Hi all,

Just interested to know if you all reward yourself for reaching small goals.

I made a whole list of weight loss, exercise and health goals when I started my journey 9 weeks ago.

I split them into small goals and significant goals.

I have just reached my first significant goal by losing 10kg (22 pound) in this 9 weeks

As it coincides with my Birthday this coming Saturday, I have decided on a rainbow pair of walking shoes to get those 10,000 steps a day done in. And they make me smile, so that is also good, right?

What do you reward yourself with, if at all?

    New clothes and/ or new workout gear. I have developed a worrying liking for lurid coloured gymwear!

    Nice one!

    I rewarded myself for my one year (and 100lb) anniversary by running a 30k race on the anniversary day. It was only 10k further than I'd ever gone before! It hurt but I did it though :)

    10 pounds - the new Frozen dvd - I reallllllly want this!
    20 pounds - awesome new sheets since mine are ok but I'd love new ones
    30 pounds - super amazing pillows - mine is the worst right now
    40 pounds - massage
    50 pounds - Kindle Fire HDX
    60-70 pounds (goal area) - new car? I'm going to need a new one eventually since mine is 18 years old with 225K miles. I'd like to be at my goal weight when I get it. :)

    I picked things that I really want but don't need (except the car). I'll just buy whatever it is I need anyway.

    I've rewarded myself with new running shoes. Fun 5k race entries. A heart rate monitor/watch. New workout clothes.

    I have a reward set, for almost to my goal, or taking the intro to scuba diving class.

    I'm trying to keep my rewards mostly related to health stuff. But, in a few more pounds I'm getting a new cell phone case.

    Yes I fear I am getting that way with small gym equipment. Next I will have to reward myself with a bigger house to put the items in!!

    I don't feel the need to reward myself... Reaching a goal is very satisfying, and it's the reward you get for your efforts.

    That is some excellent work :-D

    I think entries to events are fantastic rewards (because they are quite expensive so not an every weekend type of deal). I am about to explode with excitement for this one though, I did a 70.3 about 2 years ago in 6.5 hours, this time I will be lighter and stronger than I ever could have hoped for (helped in large part to MFP and the people who are on it) so my target is <6 hours :-)

    Awesome, I am sure I will reach the stage where I no longer find it necessary :)

    I've just twigged that baked lays are a brand of what we call crisps!!! My imagination went into overdrive with new sex toys followed by baked lays - thought you were smoking something first
