When Being a Loser = Winning…Starting the Decade Right

Published by at 9:47 am under Hmmmm...,Life,Working Out

Tomorrow I’m joining a group of friends to start a 12 week Biggest Loser contest…we did one the fall of 2008 and I won! It was a great way to get rid of all the weight I put on with Lil’ G. The problem is, I’m still carrying some extra pounds I gained when pregnant with Miss A…and she’s 6.

So true

So, this is it, the start of a new decade, and one in which I don’t want to waste anymore time wishing I’d look better in a swimsuit or running in terror from the thought of trying  to find a pair of jeans I look good in.

I have always been active and enjoyed exercise, I have never been a “bad”  eater, I think I have more bad habits than anything else – mainly not eating all day and then, since I’m starving by dinnertime, eating too much.  I won’t even get started on genetics and all that – I know that my inherited DNA makes losing weight an extra hard uphill battle, but I refuse to let that be an excuse for me not to go for it.

Yep, that's me on the scale before I'm even a year old.

Besides, there’s a lot of cash on the line!

And I really love to win.

    Since I’m not “playing” I’m rooting for you. Maybe after the contest I’ll be able to talk you into doing a triathlon with me.

    Root! Root! Root-4-U!

    You can do it because IT CAN BE DONE!

    As your dad said “I can’t never did anything.”
