Operation Fat Blaster: Awesome group to join!

Last week, I joined an awesome group called Operation Fat Blaster, or OFB for short. The group is very supportive and basically they are your cheerleaders for a healthier YOU. Every week OFB creater, Michelle, issues 'missions' for the members to complete with the potential to win some cool prizes. Anyway, since I just started the group, I jumped in right at Mission #3.

Check it out below!

Special Ops Missions #3: I See You!

"Here is your mission, should you choose to accept it ...

Experts say nutrition plays 80 - 90% of your weight loss (and maintenance) success. A sound nutrition program begins at home - after all, what's more important than what you're doing when no one's looking (or reading your blog?)

This week, your Special Ops Mission is to post photos on your blog of your kitchen - show us your refrigerator, your freezer, and/or your cupboards/pantry ... resist temptation to tidy things up or get rid of the "evidence" before you post your photos."

MISSION COMPLETED: Here are the picts of my kitchen. Feel free to let me know what you see and what could be changed. FYI: My boyfriend and I are not wine drinkers. That bottle of wine in my frig is unopened and has been there for over 3 months now!
