How do you reward yourself?

[guekjian]

I know, I know, our results are reward enough...But since I am a big baby, I need to reward my successes and so today, I bought myself the new Reebok Easytone shoes! I can't wait to go walking with them!!! How about you? What is your reward???

I rewarded myself at 10 lbs with a manicure!

Once I hit the 20lbs lost I will get a facial or a massage!

I love mini rewards....great job!

Re: How do you reward yourself?

I gave myself non-food rewards during my weight loss---clothes, jewelry, concert tickets, etc.

For my "half-way there" reward, I purchased a bicycle (the kind you ride on roads and trails, not the stationary kind you ride in your house.) That is my BIGGEST regret. I should have purchased that bike earlier in my Atkins, because it is great exercise and I enjoy biking (plus it saves on the gasoline $$$$$$$ because I ride it on short errands, to the track where I walk, etc.) If I could do it over again, I would have bought the bike for my 10 pounds lost reward, rather than wait until I had lost over 50 pounds.

How funny! I just bought myself a pair of Easytones as well! They are SO comfortable! I plan on doing Walk Away the Pounds with them I also wear them on my morning commute.

As for rewards, I bought myself a Zojirushi Ms. Bento lunch box. It keeps food piping hot (or freezing cold) for 8 hours! (Amazon.com) When it arrives, I'll be able to pack my leftovers to have at lunch. It's gonna save me so much money, as I work in downtown NYC--where a salad runs me $10.

Also, I made Lauren's Low Carb Red Velvet Cake, and I'll have a slice of that as a reward. I also think it's fun to cook, now that I have a ton of low-carb recipes to try. Before, things like red velvet cake, cornbread, biscuits and pancakes provided me no nutritional value and extra calories. But now that I am on this WOE, my cakes, breads, and pancakes are full of nutrients! Especially when I use ingredients like coconut flour and almond meal. Next on my list of things to try are cauliflower mashed potatoes and cauliflower rice.

When I lose 10 lbs., I am going to buy myself a new workout DVD. (Fit in your Jeans by Friday, Brazil Butt Lift Advanced!!). I try and get gifts that help me further my goals. Maybe after that I'll buy some new workout gear and a SIGG water bottle. Or a new Ipod and a Polar F6 heart rate monitor.

The possibilities are endless. I am so very happy these days

Re: How do you reward yourself?

I mostly buy myself clothes - wearing something "cute" that actually looks GOOD on me is really exciting!

I also got a wii fit - it is a fun way to get in my exercise - esp in the winter when I really don't want to go outside and don't feel like doing the treadmill or stationary bike.

I don't reward myself for eating healthy. It is something I should be doing everyday just like brushing my teeth. Don't reward myself for that either.
