Rewarding myself (Pics)

Took some progress pics today after 8 weeks of Stronglifts 5x5. I was getting disappointed with the number on the scale til I saw these. I know I have a long way to go,but its nice to see some progress. There's only a 2 lb difference between the two. Decided to reward myself with some cute workout clothes and shoes. Til now I was wearing boring black yoga pants and t shirts. Can't wait to rock the bright blue and pink capris this coming week! Just a few months ago I would have rewarded myself with the unhealthiest meal I could think of...but no longer have a desire to binge

How do you all reward yourself?

    Indeed, that looks as if you've lost more than 10 pounds! Congrats!

    Wow great job. I can see the difference in your tummy and hips.

    I will be starting Strong lifts soon too. Can I ask how you have been finding it so far? I must admit I feel a bit nervous about the heavy weights. I bought a second hand bar and weights and can barely pick the bar up!

    Thanks! I happen to love it. I was not able to do any of the lifts with the bar. I started by using the fixed barbells in the gym. Since those only went up by 10 lbs, i bought some 5 lb ankle weights and wrapped them around the bar when I needed to go up in weight. Now that I'm using the actual bar and at higher weights, I found that it was better for me to go up 2.5 lb on all lifts, except deadlifts which I go up by 5. Bought some micro load plates on Amazon
