Christmas gifts to motivate you?

So Christmas is a-comin' (it's not too early to discuss Christmas... shhh).

Are any of you using your wishlist to request health or fitness-related gifts? For me, I work for a certain company that makes, among other things, fitness gadgets, so I get a discount (yay!) and thinking I may treat myself. Outside of buying for myself (Lord knows I do THAT a lot already...), I'm using my 'Christmas outfit' to motivate myself. I want to look hot. Lolz.

I believe there may also be a coffee machine winging its way under my tree, so I can have good strong black coffee all the livelong day.

So share - what's Santa bringing you? New fitness watch? Body fat scales? A place in a marathon?

    I am thinking of getting a mini trampoline/rebounder. Over the past month I've had physical therapy and have used one there and like it. Plus it seems like a fun way to get some cardio in and my daughter can use it.

    Other than that, I would like a ceiling mounted pullup bar and maybe another barbell.

    Mini trampolines are awesome! Whenever someone mentions getting a treadmill I have to steer them towards trampolines. I store mine against the wall in my tiny 9x10 weight room and it can be pulled out and used anywhere I like.

    I'm asking Santa for a mountain bike. I moved to the country this summer and my city bike is not up to the task.

    A bunch of nerdy tshirts. I'm in desperate need for something that doesn't make me look like a kid trying out mom's clothes.

    My husband and I usually give ourselves a trip somewhere. Not at Christmas because that's his busy season ... but maybe in February.

    The only motivational factor will be if it includes a long bicycle ride ... which it probably will. :grin:

    TV trays, nice oak ones, so I can do crafting at my couch. Work out wise- a little bike pedal thingy that goes under your desk to use at work.

    A trip to a waterpark for the kiddos is enough motivation for me to stay on track ;)

    My wishlist is a standing desk or possibly a treadmill desk, but I have to get it for myself, so it may be a while. Maybe if I put some money away for every pound I lose or every day I am under budget calorie wise? ?? ?

    I'm buying myself a FitBit and probably some more cute workout clothes...because you can never have enough cute workout clothes.

    My husband paid my entrance to the Banff Marathon and got me an Olympic bar to run 5x5 on my marathon cross training days "for Christmas" (read: for right meow)

    A cooling pad for my laptop. It will help extend the life of my beloved dinosaur while I continue using it for fitness videos. And everyone knows I like new gym clothes. There's something so motivating about being dressed for the activity at hand.
