Here it is Weighing in Wednesday! Yes, I know, it's not Wednesday. However, for me it feels like it is because there was no school on Monday. So, since I can't seem to remember what day it is we will weigh in on these thoughts today...
This time of year always brings about those resolutions to lose weight, stop eating chocolate (not happening here), and start exercising. I personally have given up on creating a New Years resolution. I usually do well at whatever it is for a few weeks and then reality hits and I am right back where I started. Once I realize that I have failed to keep another resolution depression sets in and I feel like a complete failure. So, in an attempt to avoid this feeling of failure I have resolved to not make a New Years resolution.
After making this resolution to not make a resolution my sister called me with a little encouraging challenge. We are both in the process of trying to change our bad habits into healthy habits. So, she thought a little challenge might be in order.
We are trying to see who can lose the most weight by April 29. (My birthday!! Hmmm, a smaller butt for my birthday. Now that's what I call a present!!)
Now we are not going on some crazy, Hollywood, loose 50 pounds in a week diet. Nope! We are both trying to make healthy food choices, exercise, and focus on changing our habits every day. Something that we have already been doing, but now we have a little competition to help us focus even more on changing our bad habits. (My sister has included her niece, and her son's girlfriend in the challenge, too.)
Our reward for this challenge is a day of shopping with each other! So, no matter who loses the most...we both win!!!
So, I am challenging you!!!
Will you join us in our challenge to change our bad habits, and start focusing on healthy choices. What do you have to lose? (Except maybe those love handles, or thunder thighs, or baby belly. I hope I lose all three!)
I am going to post a weekly update on how I am doing with the challenge. Here are a couple of small habits I am working on changing...
- No second helpings!!! (No matter how yummy dinner was)
- No eating after 8pm!!! (I am sure those late night munchies are responsible for 10-20lb.)
- Exercise everyday!!! (Even if I only do a few sit ups, or dance around to the radio.)
Okay, so who's with me?

I need to get disciplined where my health and weight are concerned. I honestly try my best to eat well and not over do it, but I tend to go back for seconds and I love to eat after 8pm and I only exercise occasionally.
I need to get myself into better shape!
