Tip yourself $1 each time you workout and after every 100 workouts, buy something you deserve. so simple, it just might work.
MORE INFORMATION:
I will tip myself only if I have tracked eating for the day and completed my workout. If I haven't done both in one day I will not get a tip for that day.

We sometimes eat out and finally realized that some restaurants are suggesting more for tipping, i.e. say 15%. Therefore we decided to only patronize establishments that we don't have to leave a tip and put that money back in our pockets. It has become pretty easy to locate great places that fit our needs.
I have many cake decorator tips and sometimes even 2 or 3 of the SAME tip because I use them that often! It is VERY HARD TO SEE the numbers imprinted on each tip so,when I get a new tip I label it with my labelmaker from Brother. It saves time when trying to locate a tip and it can make it through the dishwasher in a special bag for tips [although I hand wash them ,too! I use the dishwasher to sterilize it even more!]. If the label does fade, I use a permanent marker to relabel it.
