70 Days | What Are The Rewards?

Yesterday I asked the question "What are some rewards you can give yourself that aren't food?"  If you look under the comments you'll find some really good answers.  But I thought I'd give you some ideas. These range from small rewards for making a good choice in the day, to medium reward for meeting short-term goals, to HUGE rewards that are on your dream board--those are for meeting BIG goals!
