Cinderella Pact!!!!!!!

Hello again!!!!  Sorry I've been absent for a while, school is taking over my life, ok my diet is taking over my life!!  But it's worth it!  I've been in a Biggest Loser competition for a little while and lost a little bit of weight, but the stakes have gotten a little higher and suprisingly I'm taking this a little more serious...  Let me explain...

So...  I'm going to admit something that some may or may not know.  I LOVE movies!!  I love watching them, I love anticipating and planning to watch them, and I love eating homemade popcorn while watching them.  I don't have a special criteria as to what has to be in a movie for me to want to watch it, actually I could probably enjoy anything with some sort of love story in it.  But anyways, there was a movie on Lifetime Network, not going to lie some shows are REAL ridiculous on this station and should never be watched again, this movie was just one of those BUT the keeper of it all was that it had this preview for another movie that was coming out the next week.  So I did what I do so well, I set my DVR to record it :).  So Afton and I were discussing how HORRIBLE the movie we had just watched had been and I go "So I have a confession, did you see the preview for another movie that comes out?  I set my DVR to record and I'm SUPER excited to watch it!"  Afton goes Lying to be Perfect!  And that was the one!!!!!  She had thought the same exact thing!!  Yes we're best friends!!!!  

Anyways, we watched it and it was AWESOME!!!  Probably one of my favorite new movie I've seen in a while, and I've seen quite a few!! 

So I'll give you a brief synopsis...  There are these 3 friends and they are a little bit over weight, or I should say, unhappy with some aspects of their life.  They go to lunch at the same restuarant and catch up ever so often.  At one of their lunches they were told they couldn't sit at the window seat of the restuarant and they were upset, thinking they weren't allowed to sit there because they were over weight.  So they left and ate lunch at a different place.  They were upset with what had happened and decided they needed to make a change in their lives to make themselves more happy.  That's when they made "The Cinderella Pact" and decided to make a goal to lose weight for a set time and when that time came they would get a reward.  One was undecided, another was a little red dress and the last was a bikini that she's always wanted to wear.  So they started to work out and try and lose weight!

 

They had done so well at keeping each other motivated.  Now the girl on the left is Nola, she is an editor at a magazine, and had wanted to write for the magazine but was told she didn't have the face or body to write for them, so she created this fake person to write an advice column that grows to be quite popular.  In fact, the magazine wants to publish a book because she's that good.  She is stuck in a odd position because they want the real author to publicize the book and they real author wasn't real.  That's when the Cinderella Pact got real for her...  She had to lose weight to be the person that other's wanted her to be.  So made her reward... this AMAZING dress she had drooled over in a store window, to wear to the book release party, and to wear as HERSELF!!!

  Now my favorite part of the movie was this gentleman..

 

Just look at him SOOOO good Looking!!!!  Just him alone was worth watching this movie. jk... sorta :)  They start seeing each other after a REALLY awkward incident where she thinks he's a different person and gets into his car thinking he was the one they had set up to take her home from work.  haha sooo awkward!!!  Anyways... you'll have to see the movie to see how it turns out. 

So you may be asking yourself... what does this have to do with my diet...  Well after we watched the movie me and Afton had a real serious conversation about this movie.  I wouldn't say I'm disappointed with my life, but I've definitely let myself go and need to rethink some aspects of my life... namely getting more healthy (lose weight).  

Anyways, we made our own Cinderella Pact, and we've set specific goals.  Two weeks later, we're still going strong and I'm real proud! Our check point for our goal is April 17th, on that date we'll run Pat's Run, because obviously we'll be in shape to run it and see if we made our weightloss goal. 

But would you like to see what my prize on April 17th is????  I'm LOVING these shorts from DownEast Basics...

 
 

So... If I make my goal, these will be MINE!!!  Hopefully I'll still like them by then and they'll be cute on!!!  

Ps...  The Cindereall Pact is also a book... I LOVE me a good read, so I think it may make my summer reading list (school is too stressful to try and fit in a book). I'm excited!

So, watch the movie, make some goals yourself!  Tell me what you think :)  

CINDERELLA PACT!!!!  It's ONNNN!!!!!!!
