Day 20 - 1st Weigh In

This competition has got me so busy that I never have time for anything anymore...much less blogging! I wish I could be writing every day.

This process has been amazing. There are six on my team and six on the other team. We are on a strenuous diet and workout regimen. I try to do two hours of cardio a day and weight training a couple of times a week. The main emphasis is cardio, cardio, cardio. Even in just a few short weeks I can tell a difference in my body; not so much in how I look, but in my strength and my stamina. It only gets better from here!

I think I'm learning that accountability is the key. I've tried so many diets and so many exercise programs and they never seem to work out. This time, what is different is that I meet people at the gym every day. If I'm not there, I will get a call (and more than likely be yelled at by my trainer!).

Today was our first official weigh in. Our team has lost 46 pounds thus far! Both teams together have lost nearly 100 pounds...that is pretty amazing. Our team lost this week's weigh in by 1/10 of a percent! The other team lost an average of 9.3 pounds per person and we lost an average of 9.2 pounds per person... Ugh..so close! We will step it up next time...

I will write as a I can... I'm sure there will be less of me quite soon!
