I just found a cool site from someone elses blog on here and went there today.
It's called Fru-Gals and I love it [it's a money saving forum too.]
So, what does that have to do with weight loss?
Well - on Fru-Gals, they have a "Community Bank" on their website where, you make deposits with money you have saved.
This is not real money but is a tool used to guage successes.
Okay, so on the way home from the store tonight [a short 2 minute walk *lol*], I got to thinking ...
Why can't I do a challenge like that for myself for losing weight and exercising and blog about the "fake" money I made since I know I only have so much money each month to be able to save in real money.
Now, I'm thinking that this just might work for me!!
[I love a challenge and especially one where I can see results adding up!]
I first want to do some serious thinking about it ... you know, like how much $ I'll give myself for losing 1 pound.
And, if I'll give myself money for good choices made [such as for not buying that donut to eat, etc.]
Also, I'd give myself a certain amount for each block that I walk [to me friends, seeing the money [real or not!] add up ... is motivating!
I also thought about subtracting so much from my total for days I didn't exercise or when I might trip up and pig out.
Had thought about making the money I subtract to be an even greater amount than what I would put in for making the good choices [that could be a big motivator too!]
What do ya all think? A silly idea or is it crazy enough that it just might work? *Giggle*
Love,
Jennelle
P.S. I also had thought that this might work for my cutting way down on smoking too!
Hmmm, I may see another challenge in my future.
Weight loss - I had an idea! :)

It is very important that you quit smoking! I hope you can reward yourself for that. How about saving the money you would have spent on cigarettes??
