Week 3

Happy Mother's Day to all you Mom's!!!  I hope you had lots of deserved chocolate and relaxation time...but fast forward and welcome to the current moment of reality- it's now time to work off all of that chocolate!  I'm not going to yell at you all like Jillian would; but after looking at the numbers last week (which weren't great) and then this week, we all went a little belly up...not all- but lots- soooo, let's really focus in on why it is you DESERVE this weight loss!  You deserve to be healthy, to lose weight and feel better about yourself.  What is holding you back from getting to your goal?  This is such a long, hard journey and if your like me- you look at a donut and it appears on your hips....so, what is it that I can do to help you?  I am here for you-please, please please let me know what I can do to help you! Personally, I can say that this is so hard and at times it takes a lot to be motivated and encouraged to do this....the past few weeks, heck months have been very hard- but collectively looking back at my journey- it's almost like looking at high school; it sucked- but in the end- it wasn't that bad.

I would like to say that no one completed the challenge this past week of working out 4 times (45 minutes or longer) soooo, drum roll please...our NEW challenge for this week is exactly that- 4 workouts, 45 minutes or longer!  Let me know if you accomplish this so I can be sure to brag about you!  :-)

BUT...for the very FIRST time, I would like to announce someone who has worked sooo hard at weightloss and since the begining of all of these challenges...it's my Mom! Since Januray 2nd, my Mom has lost 10+% of her body mass....way to go NANCY for winning this weeks being our very own BIGGEST LOSER...

Finally, if you're looking for motavation; I would like to invite you and your families to the Cleveland marathon this upcoming Sunday, May 16th.  I will be running the half- possibly crawling past the finish line as I'm ill-prepared for the event; but looking around at all of the runners, surrounding yourself by cheerleaders- it's such an inspiring moment!  So, let me know if you want or need directions!
