Weight Loss Challenge

We started a weight loss challenge at work in June and I am down 10 lbs. That doesn't seem like a lot but I can sure tell the difference in my energy level and my clothes fit much better! :) It was a struggle to get started but I am happy with the progress so far.

I've never loved to exercise but challenged myself to "just do it" this year. Now I actually don't mind it. And an added benefit are the good books I've read while working out on the Cross trainer and the tread mill!

Shedding the pounds and inches have been wonderful but my main goal is to become healthier. Heart disease, diabetes and osteoporasis run in my family and through exercise and a low fat diet I am decreasing my chances of getting them.

The challenge ends on August 31st. I will probably not reach my goal by then but that's okay. Next, I need to learn how to maintain! :)
