This Just In........

So here is a little bit of information for those of you starting on the weightloss journey.
Loosing weight is expensive... Not that this should deter you from reaching for the stars cause it can be done... this is just an FYI...
The first 10 lbs i lost i was excited, my clothes fit better, i felt a sense of accomplishment. The second 10 lbs i lost, my clothes were baggy. Ok i said to myself, time to get new clothes. So i bought some new clothes and felt great... The next 20 lbs i lost, oh no.... i have to buy new clothes again. and so on and so on...
My best kept secret... The VV Boutique (that's code for Value Village).
Second hand stores or consignment stores are perfect for transitional weights. But do you know what happened? I started finding AMAZING clothes for VERY cheap... Guess jeans for $6.75. Polo cartigan for $4.99... Wow. Now, i am hooked. Thank you kind lady who thought she no longer needed her size 10 guess jeans WITH THE TAGS STILL ON THEM !!!!
Score one for team weightloss.
Remember for every 10 lbs you loose you go down approx. one pants size. Be ready.

Find one, Go in and be AMAZED... xo

The Monday Motivation...

I remember the days where every night going to bed was the "tomorrow is a new day" thought, then you wake up and by the end of the day realize that nothing really changed. So you lay in bed and think "tomorrow is a new day" all over again.
My new motto "Live everyday as if it were Monday"
Easy to say? Yes! Hard to do? Yes!
It is much easier to hit snooze than run on the treadmill at 5am. It is much easier to drive through a fast food place than go home and make yourself a healthy alternative but keeping the "Monday Motivation" helps.
This upcoming week is my Anniversary and my 30th Birthday. Will i have cake? Yes!!! Will i have some drinks? Yes. Will I go out to dinner with my husband and friends? Yes! Will i hit snooze? Nope...
My promise to myself is to keep my Monday Motivation and work hard...
I am going into my 30's feeling better than i have ever felt in my life.... Fitter, healthier and happier!!
