“Come on, you heifer! What does not kill us makes us hotter!”
-Legally Blonde, The Musical
After two months out of commission, I am back at the gym with Venice. And I mean it this time. Why? Because Ven has imposed the mother of all weight loss incentives: no shopping until we hit our target weights.
This means no new cardies, boots, hats, tights, trousers, jackets, NOTHING. And Fall is upon us, THE season for the best and cutest of clothes. You want to see a pair of wannabe recessionistas whip it into shape? Dangle their credit cards in front of them while they huff and puff on a treadmill.

Loving the carrot and stick technique. Also? Best lyrics ever.
You love me.
The quickest weight loss trick ever is looking at photos of the Legally Blonde: The Musical tour cast and all their abs.
My dear roomies and I have also started a similar incentive based shoppin-gym-hoppin routine. We get a dollar for each day we go to the gym. At the end of each month, we go shopping together and are able to spend the money we earned for ourselves. Fabulous.
I’ll bet J. has really conflicted feelings about this. But you’re the breadwinner, so I say more power to you 🙂
