Weigh-In

I weighed in tonight and am 130lbs. I have been walking 4-5 miles per day and significantly altered my diet. I'm a happy girl.

Weigh In

Well, I weighed in with my team last night. I can't believe I agreed to journal this on the blog, but I will stick to it. My weight is 134 lbs. I went to the Dr. and she says I am about 15 lbs. overweight for my build. Needless to say, I left there feeling horrible, but I needed it too. I really shouldn't weigh over 125 lbs. So, my goal is to lose 15 lbs. That's reasonable and for an 8 week period, that is a healthy weight loss. I started my diet today, which is just no fast food, junk (bye bye to Oreos) and more water. I also have to stick to not eating after 7pm, which is difficult due to my previous night shift schedule. I can do it though. I'm also starting running again like I use to. I use to run daily. I stopped when I got sick in 2005. Actually, I think I stopped a few months before that. Wish me luck and I'll document my progress as I go.

BMT FIT Challenge

Hello Fit Club Teams,

We have asked two very fit BMT Employees to be Team leaders. Heather and Heath have agreed be leaders and mentors for the two fit club Teams. The leaders will supervise all weigh ins for their own teams and provide any support and answer any questions.

The teams were anonymously drawn by Heath and Heather and the teams have been posted on each pod.

Weigh ins are to start this week and then we can let the fun begin. The Competition will end November 16, right before thanksgiving and the team that has lost the most PERCENT of weight will win!

This is a team effort....you can consult, exercise, diet, do anything with your team you want.

As for the reward, does anybody have any suggestions? I was thinking if everyone chipped in $20, the winning members would each receive a gift card for a one hour massage at Brown Bag Massage. Any other suggestions?

Good Luck, Have Fun, and let the most FIT Team Win!

So, it is official. The Fit Challenge begins this week. I am going to journal this challenge on my blog so Anson can see one day that this can be done. Hard work, changing eating habits, consistent exercise equals results (well, I certainly hope so!). So I will weigh in tonight at work and start my work on Wednesday. Wish me luck! I will document as I go, probably every couple days.
