Jenn and I decided that the new year would bring a belt tightening on our financial expenditures and calorie consumption… as to date no new toys… we’ll have to see if that holds true after this weekend’s RV show… So… Jenn and I have challenged ourselves to lose the weight that has been gained since Emma was born. If by chance we lose the weight (and keep our expenditures in check) by the first of June we will indulge ourselves in the purchase of a Wii game system.
This isn’t my first rodeo involving a weight loss challenge… in January 2006, two really good friends and I did the now infamous “South Fatkins Beach Paradise Challenge 2006″ which in 15 months I lost a total of 100 pounds… now sadly I have gained exactly half of that back and now very ready to remove it again!
Me in December 2006 and July 2007
The first two weeks of the year were not so productive… but these last couple of weeks, I have buckled down and started taking things serious… I have officially lost 5 pounds and by the end of the month hopefully a little more… and I’ll hit February running and drop some good weight and hopefully by June I’ll find my skinny self again… I can’t wait.
