rewards for reaching fitness goals

[mom418]

i need to get some better towards motivation. make a plan of rewards when i lose x, make improvements in fitness level for example.
never really rewarded myself before, sometimes i get an outfit or two. i really want a new hair cut. i've been cutting my own hair, but i really want to get styled. havent decided what the goal is to go with it. i also have my eye on several fitness dvds and gear.

what motivates you? what activities do you do to reward yourself? does anyone have any budget conscious or free ideas?

This isn't budget conscious or free but one of my rewards for meeting a goal is going to be an hour long deep tissue massage for my hard worked/hard earned muscles

I haven't gotten to my goal yet but I am close enough I can smell the massage oil!

When I reach my fitness goals, I treat myself to another fitness dvd and try and improve my fitness level. I also might sneak in a glass of wine or two with family or friends.

really like both of those ideas. i can buy used dvds. theres a beauty school near me. they do hair cuts, facials, massages for reduced prices.
for a big goal being met, i could save up to buy something or do an activity. go on a special trip. sometimes just getting under your plateu wt is a great accomplishment lol.
i rode on a motorcycle w/dh few months back. i couldnt do it when i was heavier. was alot of fun. too afraid to drive it myself though.
