Sunday quote:
You can swallow your pride without hurting your diet!

losing weight

Tori mentioned Sandra & I should let you all in on what we've done to lose weight. I haven't done that great lately so I feel like I'm not the best example. I also exercise regularly but as I've mentioned in the past, I never lose a ton of weight that way. I have to change my eating. I have a serious sweet tooth, so I keep gum on hand to chew after meals. I've never been a big pop drinker but I pretty much drink no pop when I'm trying to lose weight. I think it's personal though, for me pop is an easy thing to give up because I don't like it that much and drinking it makes me feel yucky. I avoid fried food. I keep yogurt in the fridge for a low fat snack. Another rule I follow is to eat wheat instead of white whenever possible! For the most part I just really watch what I eat. I think it would help me to take a few days and write down what I eat that day...right now it might not be that scary but there are days that I think I would be extremely embarrassed by the amount of candy and icecream, snacks, and even portions on my meals. That can't be healthy or necessary for a healthy body. So if you want to know what I've done so far, my biggest changes have been portions and cutting out snacks and candy and desserts.

Time to rumble!

Looks like Sandra and I did a little too much partying over Memorial Day! It's time to get serious again! GAME ON!

half way!

Still waiting for some numbers...here's what I have so far.

TEAMS!

For the last six weeks we will be competing for real! If you don't want to do this let me know and I'll rearrange the teams. The cost is $10 to play. Sandra & I are team captains. The teams are as follows:

Sandra, Utonya, Deedra, & Kate

Donna, Tori, Lisa, & Christy

The winning team takes home the dough! You must come up with a team name. The weight loss begins now...doesn't include the weight you've already lost.

If you live close by please give the money to either Sandra or myself. Deedra, Kate, and Christy can mail the money to me (a check is fine) at 1460 w 3045 S, Nibley, UT 84321.

The last twist is that if you are on the winning team, the person who loses the most weight on that team will get 31.25% ($25) of the winnings, the next two will receive 25% ($20) of the winnings, and the "weakest link" will get 18.75% ($15) of the winnings.

May the best team win!!
