Rain, rain go away!
Two girls I work with and I organized a weight loss challenge through the newspaper we work for. Last year, we had 40 participants and the winner received $400 and a gym membership.
Yesterday and today are the weigh-ins. We had 33 people yesterday. I was psyched. We are here for four hours today, one down, three to go. Off the clock, too. And guess what? It’s coming a flippin’ flash flood. We haven’t weighed in the first person today!
I sure wish the rain would go away.
We charge everyone $10, but then the winner gets all of the money in the pool. I was hoping that we’d have at least more people than last year. I really am blaming the rain. I had to give myself a pep talk to drive in this stuff.
Anyway, maybe we can help keep the 33 people motivated. As long as we help one person, it’s been worth the effort!
It helps keep me motivated too. We run spreads in the paper with all kinds of information and recipes. The three of us girls blog and it runs in the paper with progress photos. There is some motivation for ya! You aren’t going to go buy a Big Mac when the girl behind the counter is gonna ask "Aren’t you on a diet?"
….. Hey, after I pouted I actually got to stop and weigh in some entries. WooHoo!
