I'm really excited to begin the process of losing weight in this manner. I have been looking for something to help keep me accountable. What could possibly be better than competing with nearly 500 other "players" for such a nice prize? Winning your money back and finding a healthier lifestyle!!! I think this is a fantastic idea.
I have been active for many years now, but as often happens to so many people out there, I got really busy at work these last several months, and my workout and eating routine have fell apart. Eating a small breakfast, working through lunch and snacking on vending machine items (trailmix mostly), and having a late dinner, with almost no exercise has allowed me to pack on the pounds. With our busy schedules, family commitments, and everything else, I think it's too easy to let our own health slide. Now my mood has been impacted. I'm grumpy because clothing is too tight, plus when I look in the mirror, I see a dull complexion staring back at me.
To remedy these issues, I've decided to challenge myself in preparation for my 50th birthday. I've always believed that sometimes people use age as an excuse to no longer look fit and healthy, so I'm going to walk the talk and get my body into the best shape of my life in time to celebrate my 50th birthday on December 21, 2015. But to do this, I need to manage my time more wisely, eat healthy smaller meals that will provide vibrance (lots of veggies and fruits), and exercise to keep the blood moving, build muscle that will burn fat, and improve my mood.
I'm hoping that all of YOU are in it to win it in 2015! This is not going to be an easy six months, but I know we can ALL come out of this far better off then when we first started.
GOOD LUCK!
