Week One

So far so good!  Almost two days into our challenge and I'm still on track.  If you have been following my blog, you know that's par for the course.  I'm OK for a few days and then it's all downhill. 

This time I have extra motivation though.  There is an entry fee for this competition and winner takes all.  Tracey needs some new shoes!!  I also have to win to gain bragging rights.  That's almost more motivation than the money.  If you can't tell from my blog, I am a wee bit competitive.  And I am not modest at all when I win either.  I'm excited! 

I am going to try posting more often over the next six weeks so my readers (all three of you) can follow along.  However, I will not be posting how much weight I have lost, nor will I be giving away all of my secrets, just in case one of my three readers is in the competition and gains the inside track through my blog.  I will give suggestions and some information about what I have been doing and whether it's working or not though.

As I mentioned in my last post, there are weekly challenges.  This week (Tuesday-Monday) is no alcohol.  This won't be a problem for me at all.  However, the others might pose a problem.  For example, one week is eat clean for six of the seven days and while I can lose weight and eat healthy, I still like my boxes, cans and bags of already prepared food.  Therein lies part of my problem too.  I like convenience.  It took me about four hours this past weekend to plan and prepare my menus and plan my exercise.  Granted, I was getting distracted constantly too, so who knows how long it would take if I could focus for a few minutes. 

I will try most, if not all of the extra challenges because it's interesting, I can do anything for a week and I. WANT. TO. WIN!!!
