Reward Ideas!

I promised myself that when I hit my first big goal weight, I'd reward myself with something.

Good news is I hit that weight 4 days ago (Woohoo!)

Bad news is I have no idea what my reward should be.

Obviously, I don't want it to be food. No, no, let me rephrase. I'd love for it to be food, but it isn't going to be. So I was curious, how do you guys reward yourselves when you hit goals?

    A new outfit, new makeup, a new workout DVD, new workout clothes, go to a movie, go shopping for the fun of it, new shoes! Hair cut, manicure, massage... Lots of ways to spoil yourself without food!

    You're a female, so there are endless possibilities!

    My rewards are-

    10 pounds-manicure
    20 pounds-mani/pedi
    30 pounds-new bag
    40 pounds-night out
    50 pounds-new hairdo
    60 pounds-new wardrobe

    I set myself a reward at every 10 lbs lost. I have 1 more lb to go to get the first one and I am so excited to get a new pair of cute dressy sandals. I have also thought about spa treatments, getting my hair colored, pedicures, and of course as I lose more weight and drop sizes, getting new clothes. These are just some ideas.

    These are all great ideas!

    I know being a girl should make this easy, but I'm rather, how can I put this, bad at being a girl. I've never had a mani/pedi, don't really care for shoes or purses or make-up. Makes things harder.

    Maybe I'll find some cool new gadget to buy...

    Based on your shirt, is there a new game you'd like to buy as a reward?

    Not sure if you're into this idea but you could get a tattoo? That's what I'm doing with my
    Husband. We're also taking a vacation to Vegas so you could plan a trip somewhere warm to show off your new hot bod.:-)

    i'm putting $10 in a jar for every pound that i lose, and when i get to 25 lbs lost, i'm buying a new tv for my work out room... after that, theres just not much i need.. maybe a new heart rate monitor... or buy some gold for my world of tanks account ...

    i guess buying new clothes is good too, i just hate shopping...

    Do you already own a HRM (heart rare monitor)?
    New workout clothes?
    A new hair color?
    New sneakers?

    I'm the same way! I ain't girly at all! I'm gonna buy a pair of cowboy boots at one of my goals, and a new outfit at another. Then at the end, a whole new wardrobe. But other ideas...
    watch, shoes, bowling, movie, sunglasses, haircut, basketball, football, exercise material, earrings, and you can find neat little things at walmart or BigLots :)
