Reward/Goal/Inspiration

[Mish19]

I think this was kinda asked before but I forgot about this at the time. I say this alot to family and friends as this being my ultimate reward (besides being healthy!)
I LOVE dolphins and I want to take the Dolphins in Depth tour at Epcot. It's pretty pricey and you have to wear a wet suit (not gonna happen...just yet) so I figured after I get well on my way to goal (and comfortable in a wet suit) that is my reward!
How about you?

I haven't thought much in the ways of rewards or incentives. I do have certain weight loss goals- but no rewards! Hmmmmmmmmmmm I can see I'm really gonna have to give this some thought.
Are you doing a reward for every goal you meet or just for the final one?

I haven't planned a reward yet. I did have a mini goal reward and that was to highlight my hair, which I did, but I haven't thought of anything else yet.

Michelle, I love the reward you have set for yourself! I think that getting into a wetsuit and having that dolphin encounter will be a super way to celebrate. I think that rewards are so important! I am doing rewards for each 10 lb loss. My first goal, when I started WISH in 4/03, was to lose 10 lbs by the time we left for our trip to WDW 5/7. Well, I was able to lose 13 lbs the first month and my reward was a mini spa day: pedicure, massage and bikini wax the day before we left for our trip. Okay, I admit that the bikini wax is more of a torture than a reward, but the after effect made me feel better about myself in a swimsuit! I am still deciding on my next reward, for when I hit the 20 lb mark...it might be a new pair of sandahls, or a trip to the movie theatre to see a special show. Or, maybe I can rope my DH into doing the grocery shopping for the week...now that is what I call a REWARD!

Michelle I understand the issue with a wet suit. We are taking DD to Discovery Cove in Feb 04. Hopefully by then I will be able to tolerate looking at myself in a wet suit.

Michelle, that is an awesome reward for reaching your goal!!!!! Hmm, that is really something to think about! I haven't been to Discovery Cove yet... I wonder if DH would be up for that?

At first my reward for reaching goal was going to be going out to dance at Latin Quarter with my DH. However, I am thinking we will do that ANYWAY and that I need to think of a different reward. It goes without saying that I will buy new clothes, but that's a necessity, not really a reward! Can't walk around in baggy pants/shorts forever, ya know!

Hmmm. Oh, I got it!!!! We got an offer for a night at the Gaylord Palms, including two massages! Woo-hoo! I had been trying to think of a way to work this into our life, and now I can use it as a reward for the both of us! I know he will reach his goal this summer too, so what better way than to spend a night at a fabulous resort, each get a massage, have a fabulous meal at one of their restaurants, spend time at the pool, use their workout facility (included in the package) and then hit some golf balls (also included!) WOW!!!!!!! I am going to propose this idea to him! Thanks, I never would have thought of this without you!!!!!!!!

Being able to participate in the 2005 marathon is my goal AND my reward!!! going to WDW again is part of the package!

I have 3 rewards to look forward to. When we did the Disney Cruise last year, we bought 3 different sets of loose gems ... a pair of garnets, a pair of blue topaz stones, and a single large blue topaz.

When I hit my WW 10% (7 lbs. away) my dh is going to have the garnets set for me. 15 pounds later, I get the blue topaz earrings made. When I hit goal, I get the last topaz made into a pendant. Nothing like sparklies to motivate a girl!
