Hey Y’all! Wow, it has been two weeks since my last post. (insert awkwardly embarrassed face here—> ) Sorry it has been so long. I promise I have not slacked off in my weight loss as much as I have on this blog.
Whew, the holidays are almost over.Bitter sweet. I love the holidays SO SO much, but I do not think I could handle anymore holiday temptations.For example I bought my sister the “Perfect Brownie Maker” for Christmas. BAD IDEA! She already made her first batch last night. Yes, I tried one. Yes, it was perfect. And No, I did not go back for seconds. 🙂
Anyways, I know you are reading this blog mostly because the title hooked you and now you interested and wondering when I am going to get to the point. Okay.Okay. Without further adieu…my ANNOUNCEMENT:
I have registered and am now part of a weight loss competition through FitVirginia. On January 3rd I will be weighing in at my gym to receive my starting weight. Then exactly 90 days later (i.e. April 3rd) I will be weighing in again to receive my final weight. If I have lost the most weight I will win three thousand dollars.WooHoo. But wait, there’s more. During these three months I will also be training to participate in the Ukrops 10k on April 2nd. That’s 6.5 miles. Uh, am I crazy? I believe so. I figured it would be the perfect way to end the competition with a bang.
However, the journey doesn’t stop there. I will continue my efforts after April 3rd. After another three months have passed, I will post my FINAL weight in July. This is the 6 month challenge I am giving myself.If I have lost a significant amount of weight I will be throwing a finale party to celebrate my success. (who needs biggest loser anyways, haha) All of you bloggers are invited of course.
The next 6 months will be a battle but I know that it will not end there. Even after my weigh in, I will have to continue to live my new lifestyle. I am in this for the long haul. Please continue sending me love and support. I enjoy reading all of the messages you send me on Facebook. Also, I have received a lot of Facebook messages asking for advice. Keep them coming. I love to help you all in as many ways possible.
Hope you all have a great monday 🙂
