Weight Loss Challenge
Hey y’all! Yes, I’ve been away from the web, but not the gym!
I got selected as a participant in a weight loss challenge for a local morning show I listen to here in Dallas. For 6 weeks I had a partner from the show and a personal trainer. We worked out together 3 days a week and then extra exercise the other days. I lifted weights, did treadmill and bicycle work, ab work, and I swam. I swam a lot! Swimming laps is such a great work out! Gets the heart rate up and works the core. I’ve falling back in love with swimming!!
Anyway, my partner and I lost more weight than anyone else in the 6 weeks! Together we lost 50 lbs. I lost 22.6 lbs and 22 and 1/4 inches all over. I feel great. I think I look MUCH better than I did. And I’ve been given something to continue and build upon.
I am wearing my size 38 pants again for the first time in a decade! It feels awesome!! I still have about 25 more pounds I need to lose by February. I want to be 220 lbs for my wedding. Oh yeah, I got engaged and am getting married on Valentine’s day.
Well, gotta get back to work. I’m leaving the day after Thanksgiving to go to Bangalore, India. Lots and Lots of stuff to get done between now and then. I’ll try to get some updated photos up for everyone.
Keep the Faith!!
