5:2 What do you do to reward yourself?

[Lisalu 89]

My fasting days are Monday and Wednesday. I was going to try to put in one non-food treat on one of those days. It's a little tough since I work full-time, but I could probably manage once a week. My idea is to do some nice things for myself on fast days that I don't allow myself on other days. Optimally, they would be relatively inexpensive. Here are some ideas I have so far.

1. Get a mani or pedi at the beauty school

2. Get an eyebrow threading

3. Shop for a kindle book on Amazon (instant gratification)

4. Buy something unneeded but fun like bubble bath, sexy undies or a kitchen toy

5. Take that bubble bath by candlelight

6. Linger at Starbucks with a coffee and newspaper

7. Get a 15 min massage at the mall

What do you do to reward yourself?

I take a picture of the lower weight on the scale and admire it!! Ha!! Good ideas. I am so far out now I am just in a lifestyle mode now and it is just "what I do"! My reward, seriously, is knowing I have CONTROL!

I am so impressed with you, Girl! You've got your mind in a t good place for success!!!!

I'm retired so I actually go to the movies on my FAST Days.....the afternoons are the hardest for me food wise and if I am at the movies I get involved in the movie....plust I walk or bike to and from the theaters so I get a little exercise.
