I did it!!!

I won the Biggest Loser Contest at work!! I won all THREE catergories; most pounds lost, most inches lost & most fat% decrease!!! I am very proud of myself!!

I'm not stopping here. I have a "mini" goal set for September 1st; and a MAJOR goal set for January 1, 2010. My workout partner, Denese & I signed up for 10 more sessions with a personal trainer today; that will start Saturday.

On the lighter side, I get to see George Strait on June 6th at the new Cowboy Stadium. I can't hardly wait!!

Home Stretch!

The end of the contest is almost here!! The COM Biggest Loser Contest final weigh in will be on Tuesday, May 26th. I've been working extra hard (Ithink) this month. Had to, after the way I played in April. I talked to the girl that appears to have lost quite a bit of weight and she confirmed, she is neck & neck with me on the total pounds lost. There are 3 categories, so hopefully I will win at least 1 of them ($144). But, even if I don't win part of the contest, I am a winner. A winner at life, as my friend's daughter says to her!! I have lost 45 lbs since Christmas 2008 (35 since the contest started)!! So yes, I consider myself a WINNER!! I would like to lose an additional 45 lbs. before Christmas 2009. Wouldn't that make an awesome before & after picture??

2 Months!

I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since my last post! I've been doing the elliptical for 1 hour; working out with the personal trainer; vacationing in Biloxi (& cheating); had a birthday (51 now); & lost a total of 25 lbs since the biggest loser contest started at work. I won 2 categories at the midway point of the contest; most lbs. lost & most inches lost. Yea me! $50 prize (2 @$25 ea).

It's so hard to stay motivated. Thank God for my workout partner, Denese! I wanted to stay home today, but I called her and she wanted to go to the gym, so I went. I guess it's like having an AA sponsor and just as important! I felt better after the workout. If you know the secret to staying motivated, please, please fill me in!!
