Well it's been a while since I wrote, but the main reason for that is the slowness of my computer and the speed of my new phone. I hardly ever sit in front of my computer anymore.
I have recently had one of my best friends move in with her hubby and the plan right away was to eat together and to eat well. That happens often, but we also have those times where we are eating junk, tonight was no exception. We have it in our heads that May 1st we are going to set up a plan for success!
We aren't going to count all of the calories that we take in, but that of junk food. So when we want a chocolate bar we need to weigh out our options. This is when the cost comes into effect. We decided that we are going to pay for those extra needless calories. The idea here is to make us realize that spending money on the food not only effects us physically, but also financially. We haven't worked out the details exactly, but it will look something like this. We each have a jar, and every time we have a treat whether it be a meal or a snack we have to also pay a penny for every calorie. So say I have a craving and cave for a Big Mac, not only am I paying for the burger, but I'm going to pay $5.40 into my jar. At the end of our challenge or when ever someone's jar is filled we will see who can have all the money from all the jars, by who lost the most in inches. They cannot spend this on a treat though, but they can on anything else.
I am excited by this challenge...might be interesting to see what happens too.
