Competetion Begins!

Last night, six lovely ladies got together and enjoyed an evening of food, drink, games and a movie.  After a few tear-producing, laughter-filled rounds of Apples to Apples and too much yummy pizza and cookies (at least on my part) we got to talking about efforts to stay fit.

While we all understand how to get results, it's the initiative that I lose rather than the pounds.  Enter some great competition!  Within a matter of minutes, the six of us shouted out that we'd love to compete against each other, but still encouraging all, to lose the highest percentage of weight.  After all, that move where you sit and then pull your jeans over the pooch was becoming much too familiar to me.  Or maybe it was realizing that I was waiting for my thighs to stop moving after the rest of my body had.

We don't want this to get out of hand, and our goals range from weight loss, to training for a half marathon, to just toning up without bulking up.  In addition to all of the moral support, we've added extra incentive with a reward!
We all agreed to throw in $25 each into a pot. $150!  The lucky challenge winner will be the owner of new jeans (or a new purse or whatever else they choose).  We all weighed in on one scale for consistency and gave ourselves until May to calculate the final percentage lost at the last weigh in. 

So follow along as we report our progress, long for chocolate (kidding, no way am I giving that up) and share links for fit moves, fit food and fun ideas.
