TWENTY EIGHT of us are going to participate in weekly "weigh-ins". Each "weigh in" costs a buck, and each week, the person who loses the most weight gets that week's earnings. If you gain, you have to pay a buck for each pound, and whoever wins at the end of the nine weeks, gets that money.
Several staff members are going to lead aerobics and yoga sessions, and I MIGHT even get out and start walking again...provided the roads aren't snowy...or icy...or it's cold...or the day of the week has a "y" in it...............who am I kidding?! I'm DOOMED!!!! I might as well go to the bank now and get a bunch of singles to start paying the "weight gain" fees...
KIDDING...I'm motivated...I'm tired of not being able to button my pants, and I'm tired of looking like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man.
I'm also tired of being tired, and of huffing and puffing just going up a flight of stairs. My back hurts, I grunt every time I get up from a chair, and sitting on the floor has become a practice of futility...
So...here's my OFFICIAL "before" photo. Not the worst I could use for this, but bad enough that I cringe when I look at how puffy my face is. We won't even go into the details of how I can barely ZIP this coat because there's already too much stuffing in the mid-section...
Nine weeks...Weight Watchers online to chart food and activity points...increased levels of exercise...and a New Year's resolution to lose weight. Hopefully all of THIS will be the motivation I need to fit into this HOT leather jacket...which I bought the other day on eBay...
As for now...I have exactly 12 hours until the first "weigh in". I think I'll go eat a cake....and a pound of bacon...and a pie..and cookies...and maybe a lasagna...!
Here's hoping YOU are working on your New Year's resolutions too!
