Reward Yourself

Hey ya'll!! So I was sitting here thinking that I was missing or forgetting something and then all of a sudden I realized "holy crap heather!! you haven't posted on your blog in days!"  So here I am posting just for you :)  But anyways, on to today's topic.  I recently joined a group on facebook that is all about women getting fit and today one of the gals asked what we do in order to reward ourselves for goals met as extra motivation and it got me thinking.....I don't have one.  So today I came up with a great idea on how to reward myself for when I meet my goal but also to motivate me to workout.  Now before I tell you what my plan is I want to tell you that if you reward yourself with food, stop it now.  I used to reward myself with food and got nowhere, and also it made me feel like a dog because I reward my puppy with treats so yea, bad idea.  So anyways let me tell you about my new plan :)  Basically what I'm going to do is everytime I hit the gym I will put a dollar in a jar, now you might be thinking "hey i've heard of this before" but mine is a little different, usually the person rewards themselves through out the journey to their goal with this jar but I am not going to touch the jar until I've reached my 30lbs weight loss goal.  This way, I am motivated everyday to go to the gym but I will also be motivated to reach that 30lbs mark and in the end the reward will definitely be a good pay off because I'll have money to go buy new clothes to fit my new bod!  But that is all I have for today, tomorrow I will be posting a Vlog with updates on how I'm doing so far so be looking for it :)
