A little over a week ago, I was chatting with a good friend of mine about needing motivation to lose weight and get healthy. Without putting a lot of thought into it, we decided to start a contest with a "few" of our friends. It would be a 100 Day Challenge from March 1st-June 8th. With a $20 buy-in from each participant, we figured a little prize money would make it fun! So, we spread the word on Facebook. And that spread turned into a wildfire! We've had over 70 people say "I'm in!!!" As of today, we have actually received over $600, along with each person's starting weight and "before" pictures! We'll see how many of those 70 actually commit by our deadline, this Sunday.
With this contest going on, I am feeling extremely motivated! I've been getting up at 6am (ok... 6:15am) every morning to work out before I have to get the kids and myself ready. As of today, I have lost 4.2 pounds! My goal weight is only 25.8 pounds away! That'll get me where I was when James & I met. Not an unrealistic goal. :)
So, wish me luck! And hopefully the next time you see me, I'm a little smaller. :)
