Biggest Loser

So, last Monday was the start of my workplace's Biggest Loser competition. Weigh-in was depressing to say the least, but we all start somewhere.

Weigh-in weight: 212
Weigh-in body fat percentage: 44%

This morning after one week of participation, my weight on the scale? 206. I don't have one of the fancy scales that measures body fat, but hopefully that will drop along with the pounds.

The funny thing is that I thought this might be torture, but I haven't really felt all that deprived. I've eaten better, less sugar, less soda, more fruits and veggies, more water. I've been having fun with the kids, turning the exercising into a game. My boy's favorite is one we call "Gingerbread Boy" where they run and I try to catch them. I can't even get close to either of them, but told them that I'll catch them both by Christmas. They just laugh at me.

So, one week down, ten weeks and the rest of my life to go.
