A couple of changes in my life is changing the plan. I've been weighing in on Friday mornings that is going to change to Monday nights. Starting April 30th. I will be participating in what my family calls "Weigh in, Pay in".
What is Weigh In/Pay In?
"Weigh in, Pay in" is a mini weigh watcher type meeting where the whole family gets weighed each week and pays $5 into the kitty. This "Kitty" is literally a cookie jar in the shape of a Lion. At the end of each Month whoever loses the most weight that month gets to choose whether to spend the money on "Something Fun" right away or roll the pot over till the next month for a chance to do something bigger or at least more costly. The "Something Fun" has to be something that the whole family can enjoy or use - like a night out to a fancy restaurant we don't usually afford or Gadget that makes Mickey Mouse shaped waffles. It doesn't matter as long as there is accountability and reward.
I don't know if I can lose 3lbs by Monday, but what is more important is getting back on track. I have read half of Dr. Schwarzbein's book and will be beginning to apply her "Principle" to my eating starting May 1st.
Plan W rides again!
