I have been given a challange. My sister is going overseas for 6 months starting soon. She is always trying to lose weight and has been trying to help me get into better shape also. She runs because she must as part of her PT for her job. I probably wouldn’t run on a bet. Anyway, I have been promising myself for years that I need to get into better shape and lose weight. So the challange, she will be gone for 6 months, I am going to lose 50 pounds while she tries to lose 20. The prize is a treat for each other to lunch at our favorite restrauant. Otherwise it’s a swift kick in the behind. I am going to do this for her and most expectly for me. Wish me luck (i’m going to need it) as all of this comes during the holiday season. A notoriously bad time for trying to lose weight.
