Goals & Rewards

I've already discussed my reasons for wanting to lose weight. Now I wanted to share some ideas of how to keep myself motivated. I noticed that I always want to reward my good behavior with food, and this is clearly not a good idea. So what else can I reward myself with? Well, lots of things, turns out. So below is my list of gifts to MYSELF when I accomplish these weight loss goals:

5 lb - movie marathon night


10 lb - new DVD




15 lb - new pair of jeans






20 lb - piece of furniture for the home




25 lb - Pt Townsend trip



30 lb - clothes shopping trip



35 lb - spa trip



40 lb - Portland weekend



45 lb - piercing



50 lb - Vegas trip




55 lb - clothes shopping trip



60 lb - tattoo
 
          

Hawaii trip
 


GOAL WEIGHT - piece of jewelry (ring?) as a daily reminder of my journey and how far I've come


At 20lb, 35lb, and 50lb and of course GOAL WEIGHT - Katie and I are going to celebrate with dinner at our favorite restaurant, Adriatic Grill.




I'm also toying around with some rewards for the following goals:

- Run a 5k
- Run a 10k
- Run a Half Marathon
- Run a marathon
- complete a triathlon
- complete Insanity
- complete a fundraising bike ride
- become completely vegetarian (no meat for 3 consecutive months)
- no fast food (for 3 consecutive months)
