How do you reward yourself?

[soccermom]

If you set goals and you make them, how do you reward yourself? Currently, my goal is to lift twice a week, and it has been happening, even though it was tough when all of my kids got sick. I decided if I can continue to do it for the next month, I will reward myself with a pair of shoes I have been wanting for a while now but never got around to buying. How do you reward yourself?

Earning my goal is my reward as this is the bottom line, and what I am after. In addition, I "personally" view rewards a bit different as compared to someone else.

I look at making sacrifices within my life to make room for my goals as gift attributes that walk me to my goal. If I want to "binge" eat, all I have to do is "change-up" macros, and prepare the body to be more tolerant of additional carbohydrates and calories. Underneath my "niceness" I am a complete hard ass with my self. As most know, the body friggen cries and preaches every day in its own way--it is I that stands at the podium and the boss.

I don't have a reward system; I just do it because I want to.

My reward for lifting is taking time off lifting. I find this rewarding because lifting is difficult and it hurts.

I'm with Chillen on this one. Your reward is hitting the goal and getting to set another to fight for. Any PR is great, but hitting a set goal almost brings tears to my eyes. Like century lifts, ie 500,600,700...

Pedicures. Calf massage = heaven.

I reward myself with new goals. The achievement of a goal is extremely fulfilling. But I do usually celebrate with pizza, nacho cheese and ice cream.

feeling ten times better after working up a good sweat and busting bars is my reward knowing that i did it for myself not giving up has to be the greatest reward
