My employer is challenging the company to a Biggest Loser program that goes until May. Down 3.2 lbs. from the initial weigh-in. Good start considering that girls night in over the weekend with the booze and junk food, and that spaghetti dinner I had last night.
I think my coworkers may be looking to me as an example since I had success with that last thing. I'm on one team and the guy who lost 65 lbs. is on the other. Weigh-ins are Fridays, so I started a Friday morning routine: I take a 1.2 mile walk around some warehouse buildings before work, getting that little extra in before the weigh-in.
There was a time when walking 2 miles got boring, no challenge. Not so much any more. There was a time when I could do 45 minutes on the Nordic Track. Those were the days I long to get back to. It's probably over-goaling to say I want to lose 80 lbs. because truthfully, I can't say with certainty that I'm willing to work that hard. I can say I want to lose 50.
And then there's Jesus. I'm not a practicing Catholic, but Lent begins next week so my penance will be giving up some breads; specifically, sandwich breads and buns, dinner rolls, breadsticks and biscuits. It's win-win: I practice self-discipline and I keep those calories off my ass. Amen!
