The Biggest Loser?

Some of my friends might laugh at the title of this post. But hold on! I have been thinking about my current lifestyle lately and don't have much good to say about it. Often it's easy to feel bad about something and want to change it but to feel so overwhelmed at the prospect, so you just keep on and muddle through. Hopefully someone else has felt that way before too. This week as work I was inspired to change all of that. Several of us are having a Biggest Loser type contest. Every one participating throws $20 in the pot, and winner takes all. There are 12 participants so far. Although $200 + bucks is no small prize in my book, the real prize will be the change in my life. Four days in and all is going well so far (the competition ends April 4th). I have given up regular coke products (which I have been a former addict of) and turned to the diet versions and am combining calorie counting and portion control to help in my endeavor. This week I plan to develop and start my exercise regimen. This will be the difficult part for me. I like love my sleep and mornings (when everyone else is in slumber land) are the only time I can really devote to such activities. I am determined though. I want to be better for me. For my husband. And for my children.

Cheer leading welcomed!
