After my big holiday food-fest, I knew it was time to straighten up my act and try to get back into shape. Right before I got laid off, an announcement came up that my employer was having a get-fit contest. I signed up with two other ladies from my office, and now we have weekly exercise goals and we get points for both exercising and losing weight.
I usually just focus on exercise. I don't like to pay attention to numbers, because I find that can get discouraging. But, we needed to establish a baseline, so I weighed last Friday. Today was our first reporting day, and guess what?
I lost three pounds! Hooray for me! Now I just need to keep up with it.
