UPDATE: A Challenge with a Twist

Yesterday I was texting with my brother, Cory! Coolest brother ever (easy for me to say that since he's our only brother)! Turns out even HE reads my old bloggy blog. Lucky me! He decided that he wanted in on MY resolutions, and also wanted to put a little wager on the challenge. So, while he's piggy backing on my resolutions, we're going to see who can lose the highest percentage of weight loss, like they do in The Biggest Loser. And also keep to the no candy, no soda thing!

We're not putting a date on the thing, but we're just going to see how long we can go in working out at least 5x's/wk and cutting the sugar/soda out of our diet. After a little while, when 1 or the other breaks, we'll figure out our weight loss and what does the winner get? Mmm! Good question! A date night! Dinner and a movie, or whatever! This was pretty appetizing to Cory, since they have 4 adorable kids that consume most of their time. It's looking pretty good for Collin and I too, since our date nights typically, and happily, consist of Wii, Redbox or ordering out!

Now that it's in writing, its official! It's ON!! I'd open this up to my other sibs, but 2/3 sisters are preggers, so that probably wouldn't be too smart. But, Amy, and spouses, you can join if you think you're up for it! :) I'm excited to feel a bit more healthy and better about my body! I don't care about getting skinny minny, but I am all about looking a bit more toned and not so soft. I'm not going to put a before picture up because I think that's gross! Hopefully in the coming weeks, the normal pictures will be noticeable in terms of the toning and weight loss.
