For my biggest goals, I rewarded myself with bigger things like clothes, new shoes and fitness equipment like a water bottle belt. Sometimes though, I still use small incentives to help get me through a week. Its the little goals that make up the big goals, and sometimes its important to reward yourself as you go. For…
