Week 1

Well, the end of week one is here and I didn't get to weigh in this morning thanks to my son having a high fever. We went to the doctor early this morning and I've been busy all day. Fortunately the tyelonol and motrin routine are starting to work so he is feeling better. I did weigh myself this evening though. And it said 194. which means I lost at least 1.8 lbs this week. Its been really up and down as far as dieting goes. I did get to go to Zumba twice which was really fun and a great workout. I'm exhausted and frustrated. Sick kids are no fun, and I think I caught whatever pukey bug my daughter had because I've been feeling nauseous all day long... Hope everyone had a good week. I'm going to bed.

THE CHALLENGE

One of my best friends has challenged me to loose 5lbs/month for 4 months for a grand total of 20lbs to loose. We started our challenge on the 15th of February and it ends on the 15th of June. I'm inviting my FB friends to join in on the fun and I think it would be great if those who wish to participate in the challenge would give 20$ that will go towards a gift card for the winner. If everyone accomplishes the goal then the person who lost the most will be declared the winner. 5lbs/month is a fairly reasonable amount to loose. It will take work, it will take sweat... but its not impossible and I'm so going to win this. :D My starting weight is 195.8 so my goal weight is 175.8. Obviously I have more to loose after this challenge is over but this should really help me head in the right direction. I am 5'6 and my ideal weight would be about 145. However... I don't honestly remember the last time I've weighed that little. But that's not the challenge right now. :D So if you have 20lbs to loose feel free to join me on my weight loss journey. A little healthy competition never hurt anyone right?
