My once a week restaurant challenge!

The roller-coaster of weight loss is nothing new to any red-blooded American.  We live and breathe food--not only for necessity but for entertainment.  Today, I have already probably had my days worth of calories and I haven't moved an inch. I've had visions of exercising, enjoying the sunshine and dancing the night away but, I'm still in the bed.  Fortunately for me I have a few hours of sunshine left and tons of options.

This month I've challenged myself to only dine out at a sit-down restaurant once a week. I'm hoping this will assist my weight loss goals and help me to make healthier choices at home.  This challenge is meant to help me to look at restaurants as a new treat where I can indulge. It's also a way for me to refocus my finances on things that I can enjoy when I reach my weight loss goal.

I'm five days in and already this goal has been pretty challenging. I can't wait to look at my bank statements and my waistline next month to see if I've made any progress. Instead of rewarding myself with food I will buy myself a new outfit to celebrate my success.  What have you given up to reach your weight loss goal?

I dare you to lose 30 lbs

I call myself Biggie Smalls because I'm a skinny fat girl. I've always been rail thin, but as the years have passed I've undeniably gained more weight that I would care to carry. Though the masses do not see me as fat, I'm not comfortable with myself. I long to go back to the carefree days when I could eat any and everything without gaining an ounce.

I'm on the eve of my 40's so that notion is long gone. So today is the day I begin my journey to lose 30lbs within a years time. I will take periodic pictures of myself and record the various up's and downs of my weight loss journey. I'm hoping this live documentation of myself will give me the positive results that I deem to have a healthy existence and a sexier body.

Will you join me in my journey and spread love the healthy way? I dare you!

xoxo,
Biggie Smalls
