"One of my New Year's wishes was to shed some of the weight I had gained during my pregnancy with Little Monster, and so in my attempt to do so, I felt it was harder to hide late night snacking and lack of motivation if I put myself on the line and in the spotlight. Every Friday, I will be sharing my weight loss journey (including my successes and failures), as well as delicious recipes, meal ideas, and exercise suggestions. Join me if you accept the challenge to lose weight and gain a healthier life! (Don't forget to grab my button in the sidebar)"
Last week's workshop and giveaway pushed FBF to the back burner, but here I am again excited to tell you that I am officially a big loser! 11 lbs. lost that is!
Hopefully the warm weather is starting to creep around to your area like it has around here. There are so many outdoor activities that you can do to avoid having to do real exercise, and still lose pounds. Here is a list of activities that you can enjoy outside this Spring and Summer instead of pulling out your Richard Simmons VHS of Sweating to the Oldies and gettin' your groove on.
But first, enjoy this...

Outdoor Activities to Help You Lose
Weight this Spring and Summer
Mow the Grass (with a push mower)
Plant a Garden (that's what I am doing this weekend!)
Wash Your Car
Take a Stroll Through Your Neighborhood (push little ones in a stroller)
Ride a Bike
Canoeing or Paddle boating
Swimming
Jumping on a Trampoline
Playing Sports
Go HERE and enter your current weight and the number of minutes for each activity and find out how many calories you will burn for each one.
Don't Forget to drink plenty of water when you are outside so you don't become dehydrated!
