    rewards...

    does anyone reward yourself, or did you in the beginning of your weight loss journey, with anything "non food"?? Just wondering, cause when I get to my second mini goal of weighing in at 199, I decided, I'm getting myself a new blackberry phone! just curious

    Re: rewards...

    I've bought a lot of new clothes but it was kind of a combo reward and necessity. The others were getting way too big. Feels good to wear pretty clothes again though. I did buy me some super cute cheetah pjs the other day, haven't bought new pjs in years. Turns out they are too big so I have to take them back LOL

    Hoping to be at goal by July. Dh and I booked a 5 night cruise. Can't think of a better goal reward than that.

          I am thinking about a tatoo... we will see.
          I did pierce my belly button as an "exercise" reward back in December.
          149.8/no weigh/ 119



          1st goal: 139 (earlier weight)
          what the rungs mean to me:
          rung 1 - more veggies
          rung 2 - dairy (some milk in coffee)
          rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
          rung 4 - berries, melon
          rung 5 - wine -
          rung 6 - beans, hummus
          rung 7 - other fruits
          rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
          rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
          Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
          (on to pre-maintenance)

            MONEY!!! I paid myself $5 a pound and when I'd lost 100 pounds I could spend it on any thing I wanted.

              Clothes, jewelry, day-trips, etc. But my BIGGEST regret was my "half-way there reward". It was a bicycle. And after I found that I used the bicycle alot, I regretted that I did not get it earlier because bicycling is exercise (and it saves gas money!)

              Granted, it's not the kind of exercise that you think about (like doing push-ups), but it's an exercise you can do in the process of doing something else, like bike to the corner store, or to the park, or to the library, etc.

                I wish I could bike around here, I use to love biking. But we are on the main highway and I'd have to drive a long ways just to find a place to bike. Or pedal faster than the semis LOL

                Think I may have to settle for a recumbent bike.
