Well life has certainly changed and I have decided to look at my weight loss rewards going forward and change them to how life is changing. The rewards are going to be items I really want but keep putting off buying in the hopes that they serve as extra motivation. Each reward is also going to hopefully help progress my life in one way or another rather than me just buying something for the sake of it. The plan is to set a reward for every 5 Kg lost to keep the motivation there and to help me see the progress and get those items to help me along. 

So here are the rewards I am setting for myself...

Nike Metcons

I have wanted some Metcons for the longest time and I think now is the time to finally get some therefore they are going to be the first milestone reward. I think I am going to go for a nice simple colourway for these so they go with all my gym outfits but I can't wait to hit my first 5 Kg down so I can finally stop wearing my running shoes for all my workouts and I can finally wear the correct footwear as I up the amount of time I spend in the gym at long last. 

Edge of the Area Clothing

I am finally back to giving Edge of the Area my attention and I am planning on heading out to games for reporting. I want to look the part for this and by the time I hit this reward my previous clothing wont be fitting me. The plan is to pick up a coat, gilet, hoodie and top for when I am at games so people know who we are and so that if we are there through an invite with a club they can easily identify us. It all just looks a bit more professional doesn't it.

Gymshark Haul

My reward for getting down to this bracket is going to be a Gymshark haul. My gym clothes will probably be too big by the time I get here and the confidence always rises when I am in a good gym fit so a bit of a haul could be much needed. I wont be going overboard with this just getting a few outfits for the different types of training I will be doing to keep me going until they no longer fit.

Gym or Running Shoes

I will hopefully have put some good miles into my current running shoes by the time I hit this reward bracket so the reward is more than likely going to be a new pair of running shoes however, I could do with some suitable shoes for my boxing sessions if I am really sticking to them as wearing my running shoes for this isn't doing me any favours. I have got plenty of time to decide on this so who knows what I will end up getting just yet.

Machine for the Gym

This year I am determined to make more use of the home gym so I aren't having to travel to the gym every time I want to workout as the motivation to drive down there is sometimes just not there. I really want to work on improving the gym with better quality equipment so when I reach this bracket I will be treating myself to a new machine for the gym, something weight lifting focused I think but first I need to sort the home gym out and workout what I have space for. 

Bradford City or Man City Women Training Wear

By the time I hit this reward bracket there will be the new seasons wear out and I want to treat myself to a few bits for the gym. I could even get some of this seasons in the sale if I really knuckle on down to hit it. It has been a while since I have got the training wear for the teams I follow as the fit hasn't been the best for my current body shape. I can't wait to see what I can get and wear with confidence by the time I hit this reward bracket.

Goal Shop

The final rewards bracket is the big one and it is going to be when I finally use that money I have been saving up and get that new wardrobe built up. I have been putting money to one side ready for when I hit my goal weight and this is going to be used to get me those quality pieces I have only ever dreamt of. I am hoping to keep putting into these savings until I reach my target and hopefully I will have a good amount saved up for the shopping trip.

So those are the rewards I am setting myself for every 5 Kg I lose, now I am not sure if I will get to the last few rewards as there is a lot of weight to lose however, I am determined to make as much progress as possible towards these so who knows I may hit one of them if I really push towards it. I will be getting a few little bits as mini rewards for mini milestones that will help me with my journey such as a better quality ice bath, new massage gun and maybe some little accessories but for now it is time to lock in and work towards reward number 1.

See you soon,
