2 weeks ago I ordered a new pair of running shoes. This was my first 10lb reward. Through this weight loss process I have decided to have a reward system. For years I would treat myself to a “cheat meal” if I had a good weigh-in. I starting to think that maybe it was not a good idea to reward weight loss with food. So I came up with another plan. Every time I hit 10lbs I will reward myself with something I really want. Since I am living on a budget right now, this is a way to treat myself to something I would not normally be buying myself. Here are a couple of my rewards I have planned for myself:

New running shoes

New hair style and highlights

Gym membership

1 hour massage

Make-up makeover and new make-up

New Pandora ring (I might have a small addiction to buying their rings so I have banned myself to have to wait for my reward to buy one)

New dress

1 night stay at Lake Pointe Inn at Deep Creek Lake

I have picked rewards that will help me to work on myself. So far I have lost 24lbs and have gotten my new running shoe for my 1st 10lbs and last week I got my hair done with some highlights for my 2nd 10lb reward. 6 more pounds until my 3rd 10lb reward and I am thinking about getting my make-up makeover and buying some new make-up. This has definitely been a fun way to lose weight and reward myself and I highly recommend it.
