Watch out, Tim! IT's ON!!!

It's ON!!!  So my brother in law likes to "mess" (aggravate, torture, tease, taunt...) with me and takes great pleasure in it.  I'm pretty sure he would like to choke me sometimes too.  Stinker!  :)  All done in fun :) of course.  Had fun visiting with my lil sis and him when they were here over the weekend and we got to talking about how fat we are feeling.  I lost nearly 30 lb this last year but I really have another 25 I need to shed.  And even though I have maintained my weight through even the MOST wonderful time of the year...I can feel a difference because I haven't exercised since the day I ran the 5k -- how awful is that?  Bad.  I know.  :(

So anyway...we both have about 25 lb to lose to get to our goal weight...mine is 180 lb. (mind you, I'm not  a small girl...I know that sounds like a cow to most people but I'm gonna be thrilled to death at 180 and I would feel like a supermodel, I'm sure LOL!!!).  I weighed 175 when I got married (at 18) and wore a size 10-12.

So 25 lb doesn't sound bad except we know that the last of the weight is hard to come off.  So Tim and I have "challenged" each other to lose the weight by the end of May.  I think that is doable.  It's not who loses it first...because ALL of us women know how that would turn out, right!?   He'll probably lose it in a month or two and that's when I'll start baking :) and mailing tasty care packages to the Lesley residence... mmwhahhahah!!!!!

We need to think of a reward for the winner...something good, humiliating and that doesn't really cost a lot of money.  Got any ideas?

Love this! It may even motivate me to get my butt back in gear! I will have to think a while on the reward part. Give me some time and I will get back to you...

Hilarious! I did the same dang thing! I trained for and ran a 5K in June and then didn't exercise all summer. AHHHH... I have about 50lbs to my goal weight and on the 30th (Dec) I said "enough" and now do min 20 minutes of something almost everyday (only missed 2 days so far!!). I am also doing a 30 day cleanse to help get me going. Thanks for the honest post! It is nice to read...
