OK, real quick.
I want to find ways to keep myself motivated and accountable to lose some weight. To that end, 2 of the deacons in my church as well as the pastor and myself got together and decided to start a little weight loss competition to keep us all on track. We have been at it for about 3 weeks so the totals aren't real high yet but oh well, we are doing it. Now that I am back from my camps to start off the month of June I can get back into regular exercise as well as watching what I eat so I can win.
The competition will last for 6 months. We will weigh every 2 weeks and the person who has the highest overall weight loss percentage will be named as the victor. I won't post their numbers and results on here out of respect to their privacy but I will post mine to, as I said, help keep me accountable.
Starting weight 329 (yeah I know, wow)
Weight after first weigh in (320.5) 8.5 pounds lost = 3% weight loss overall (all I did was stop drinking pop)
Weight after second weigh in (319) 1.5 pounds lost = barely under a percentage lost (Not such a great total but I just got back from a week of eating Penny Nicolet's cooking at Falls Creek. Give a brother a break.)
We will weigh in again on the July 6th so we'll see if I do better by then. I am continuing to watch what I eat and am starting to work out again. Yesterday I spent about 30-45 minutes in the weight room and this morning I ran (ok, ok walked) a little over 3 miles. Hopefully I can develop this habit and continue to watch what I eat so I can beat the socks off the other guys. (All in God's love that is)
