Weight Loss Challenge

It's on! The family weight loss challenge between Nathan, my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and myself is on! The simple rule is who ever loses the most percentage weight by May 15th is the winner. Each person has committed $100 so the winner will take all... that's $400!!! And believe me, the "friendly" trash talking has already started. LOL! We've all got our eye set on the prize.

My goal for the competition is, yes, to lose weight but more importantly I want to eat HEALTHY and get back to WORKING OUT! I figured, if I can focus on the healthy eating and excersizing then the weight will naturally fall off over time. When we lived in Kingwood, I was involved in Humble Area Adventure Bootcamp... and boy do I miss it!!! I can definitely tell that my body is not what it was just even 3.5 months ago before moving to Atlanta. Bootcamp was great accountability for me. There were three set times a week for me to go workout with other women and an instructor who would give us different workouts all the time. Now that I don't have bootcamp I'm going to have to work extra hard to keep myself motivated. I know it's going to take a lot of planning and a determined attitude.

To get things started off, I've gone on a nice jog around the neighborhood with the dog followed by a homemade strawberry bannana smoothie.
So here's to no excuses excersizing, eating healthy, and losing weight for a healthier me. CHEERS! :)
