A Challenge

I started a Weightloss Challenge with my family yesterday. It goes for 8 weeks and whoever has the biggest percentage of weight loss, will get a grand prize of over $500. It was $40 to start and there are over 15 people involved now. I am so excited. This is exactly what I needed right now! (Plus, $500 can go a long way for the wedding!)

I hope to become one with running. I don't mind running ...but I don't crave it. I want to crave running. You always hear about this "high" that runners get. I want to know that feeling. (And not the, " Oh My God...I can't breathe!! " feeling.) I also really like Yoga. Andrea has started doing Yoga and it just seems peaceful and centering!

Now I just have to get back on Mona-Vie for joints. Whenever I start working out I tend to get knee pain and knee grinding. For about 2 years now my knees have been bothering me quite a bit. I was a bit hesitant to start doing Mona-Vie but since taking it, I don't have to walk slowly to the bathroom every morning (seriously...how old am I?) Plus it just gives me energy and its a fantastic mood lifter!!!

So here I am .....hoping that everyone involved will have a fantastic journey to where they want to be ...but most importantly, hoping that I win. Hahaha!

You know you're old when you don't even bother walking to the bathroom in the morning.

What's Mone-Vie? A drug? What?

Put a bunch of kickass songs on your mp3 player to run to. This is the one thing that keeps me going when I really don't want to go.

Oh, and that's a lot of money. So that would keep me going too :)

Good luck! I'm rooting for you!
