Weightloss in a Jar

haha! If only it was that easy right?  If you've been following my blog recently, you know I'm focusing on losing weight and have started the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred (a painful process).  Well, I'm a visual person and I thought it would be more motivating for me if I had a little reward for every pound I lost.  Check out pinterest and you will find a lot of awesome ideas!  This is what I created-Thanks to Cassie for the inspiration!

Weightloss in a Jar

The jar to the left has 48 pennies in it (yes, pennies people.  I didn't think I should put chocolate chips in the jar...sounds good though!).  I've seen others use clear marbles, etc but I don't have time to run out to purchase those so pennies it is!  I started this journey with 46 lbs but last week bumped that up to 48 lbs!
My start date is on the back of the 'to go' tag.




 
I love how little the jars are- perfect to set on my kitchen window as a reminder (it will match the picture of the pig that my boy painted at preschool which hangs on my fridge hehe) .  We'll see if I'm able to move any of these little pennies next week.

  3. What a great idea Kim, and the wee jars are so cute. Good luck. I may have to try something like this too - pretty soon. Need to give up Coca-Cola first though - that's gonna be the hardest bit.... Hugs xx
