Its time to start thinking about what you're going to do with yourself...
Okay, okay, its time for ME to start making a plan to get rid of some more of the weight I've been carting around.
I've been a good girl since I last blogged. Let me qualify that: I've been maintaining my weight loss, even though I haven't lost much more weight, and I'm not gaining any back. So, yay to me!
What I'm getting ready for is on April 5, the fam-dam and I are going to start another family version of "Biggest Loser" which has worked pretty well for us as a group in the past.
If you'd like to join us, that's great, but you do it whatever way works best for you and your cohorts.
This is how we do it...
We pick a start day - we've picked Monday, April 5, this time around. Picking a date gives you time to prepare your mind and heart, and to get all the "bad" groceries out of your house without throwing away a lot of money. We've been cleaning out the freezer of ice cream and the pantry of cookies and peanut M&Ms, stuff like that. Yeah, we (okay mostly ME) put them there, but we haven't been really on a binge or anything; we've just gotten pretty relaxed about the healthier stuff.
So, we've got our start date. We're beginning to clear out the cupboards, fridges, and freezers... we have three freezer-places and two fridge-places, so that's a bit of clearing out!
When we start our version of "Biggest Loser" we're more focused on exercise and eating more healthfully, and the friendly competition is a good motivator.
Of course, each week we are doing "Loser" each person puts $5 into a kitty. If you lose weight on the weigh-in day, great, and you only pay in $5. If you GAIN, however, you have to pay in an additional $5. At the end of the time frame (we usually go either 8 or 10 weeks), of course the person who has lost the highest percentage of body weight wins, and to the biggest loser belongs the spoils!
So, get ready! If you want to "lose along" with me, just remember - April 5!
I'm already getting excited!
