During the Ultimate Blog Party I met Natalie from Bye Bye Fat Mom.  She has a blog where she talks about trying to lose weight.  There were several of us who visited her who were interested in starting a little support group for each other to help keep each other accountable and motivated on our paths to being thin.  So, Natalie is starting Fitness on Fridays.  Each Friday we will blog about our progress (or failures).  I’m so excited and think this will definitely help me with my weight loss.

Natalie had this fabulous idea that I am stealing.  She needed a way to motivate herself to exercise and she came up with a great plan.  So- here is the plan- everyday I exercise I will get 50 cents.  Once I reach $50.00 I get to use that money to buy myself whatever I want.  Here’s the catch- everyday I don’t exercise I have to pay back $1.  I am going to give myself one day off each week.  Isn’t that a fantastic idea that Natalie came up with? 

I just started and I actually walked on the treadmill today.  I’m going to add a little thingee on the sidebar to keep track of how much money I’ve earned so far by exercising.

If you want to join Fitness on Fridays- stop by Bye Bye Fat Mom to say hi to Natalie and let her know you’re going to join.
