I bought a couple of new workout outfits today.  I had needed them bc in this weather, I need to have dri-fit stuff to beat the heat.  I'd been waiting to buy it even though I needed it until I proved to mysel it was worth it to have enough workout outfits for each time I work out during the week.  I was punishing myself by doing laundry after I burned through my 4 outfits.  I guess buying the new stuff today is my way of rewarding myself for proving I am committed.  Next workout reward is new running shoes.  Mine look fine, but after a year of heavy use, you are supposed to replace them.  I'm not sure what the benchmark for new shoes will be...maybe signing up for a half or hitting a weight goal.

I also find myself doing the same thing with food...allowin g myself a taste of something yummy when I have been diligent with staying on track with LoseIt or my calories and workouts.

Do any of you give yourselves rewards and punishments?

I tend to buy stuff while telling myself it will help me or I'm buying it to aid me. This could be anything from a new cookbook of low fat recipes or a new mp3 player to listen to while I walk. I've noticed that I haven't been following through so I'm attempting to cut back on my spending.

I'm a shopper by nature, so making myself wait until I've met a goal has been helpful!  Good luck!
