I saw this fun photo on pinterest and thought is was brilliant! I am such a visual person so it really sinks in seeing each bead as a pound and being able to really see your progress.... I pinned the pic and went about my life making a mental note to get the things to do it.
Then last week I took my kiddos to the Dollar Tree (their favorite store...they call it the Dollar treat! ). I picked up two glass vases AND these stick on wall decals for $1.00 each! I looked at all of their fun deco beads and river rocks etc...but had another idea in mind. So I got home and went to work....
Here's my finished project..took about 4 minutes!! 'Cause listen...us busy working moms often need quick and easy, gratifying DIY projects!
I decided to use sea shells that I picked up on the beach on our trips to the Outer Banks. Each seashell represents one pound towards my goal weight...And what's a better reminder that swimsuit season is approaching than a seashell!!?
So I'm working towards my goal. I am making healthy changes to my diet...and exercising more. I am really enjoying Zumba with Al....and Sexy morning runs with my girl Michelle.
WHAT?! runs CAN BE SEXY!.... just look at this photo I took just after 4.5 miles this cold morning...no make-up....hair a mess...frozen fingers...sweating sunblock.....and I'm pretty sure at some point during my run I blew my nose on my jacket once (maybe twice)...that's sexy!! :0
