The Beginning

Although I have done and said this before, it's time to lose the weight. I have never taken the advice from the news before, but this year seemed different. Channel 5 went to a gym and was asking trainers what 3 of the most important things to remember when starting a work out regimen. 1. Set goals that are realistic, don't go all out on your first try. Start out small and work your way to the bigger challenges this way you aren't burning yourself out so quickly and not returning to the workout. 2. Have fun with it. Get with a support team like friends or a group to motivate you to workout. 3. (The most important I think) Accountability, announce to people what you are doing so that they know how to help you stay focused on your goals and they can help you succeed. Like the trainer said "If no one knows that you are doing something, then there are many escape routes for you." So with the new season of The Biggest Loser kicks off, our admin office decided to do a competition amongst those who wanted to pay $20 bucks for the winner to win. Prize money you say, nothing says motivation then prize money!! Granted I was already on my diet now I have a chance to do numbers 2 & 3 of the advice listed above. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone and it's a good way to stay focused not only on the health side of things but to kick some butt as well. Now where did I put those damn weights.
