Default When to Reward Myself
Hey guys! So I'm down 8lbs and have 10 to go!

I like the idea of rewarding myself, and have the following rewards lined up... my goalpost is 118/119 by March 8th!

Anyways, I'm not sure if I should just reward myself for every week I eat within my cal range and go to the gym everyday, or if I should set weight mile-markers (128, 126, etc. etc.). What do you think works best?!?!

Rewards (need two more if weekly!)

1. New haircut (bigger reward for the first one, mainly because I really need a haircut!)

2. Tanning (guilty, rare pleasure, I know its bad!)

3. Massage

4. New Outfit

5. New Makeup

Reward yourself with each week
you stay on track.

Then again, if you're going with
rewards that are a little expensive,
you could go with weight rewards.

Depending on how fast you lose weight
can also factor in which one you'd rather do.

LLBold, you and I are the EXACT same height, starting weight, and goal.

Go ahead and reward yourself. I find it very motivating to reward myself with new workout clothes. They tend to get me to the gym and out running because I want to wear them so badly!

This is a big one for me. In fact, I'm going out later tonight to buy new workout clothes.

I could use some seat-padding for everyday life. I can't sit on anything longer than 20 minutes without it hurting.

They say you can change your habits if you change for 3 months. I've been lusting after this amazing watch for a while...so if I stick to a healthful balanced diet, working out and counting my calories for 8 weeks in a row, I am going to go get that watch!
