My Workout Buddy BIGGEST LOSER Challenge

Tomorrow morning begins a new challenge and a new set of goals for me. Meet my sister-in-law Holly:

(Sorry Holly, but I’m borrowing this picture of you online.)

Her and I have started a new tradition over the last few months where we go out to eat at places we don’t get to on a normal basis once a month (i.e. any type of ethnic restaurant like Aladdin’s Eatery…yum), and then get drinks (drunk) afterward.

YAY BOOZE!!!

So, after talking at our last meet-up last week about how I would like to lose more weight, and she would like to lose the baby weight she’s been struggling to lose (having a girl is like a curse upon the waistline by the way), she decided to text me with a proposition…A BIGGEST LOSER CHALLENGE!!!

The terms of this challenge: Whoever loses more weight each month will be The Biggest Loser that month and will not have to pay for drinks at our next meet-up.

The challenge starts tomorrow (or today by the time I tweet this for people to actually read), August 2, 2011. I will weigh myself (YIKES) and post the beginning results online at my favorite calorie/exercise tracker: My Fitness Pal.com

While only the weigh-in at the end of the month…in this case, the 2^nd of every month...will count, I will post a weekly weigh-in on my tracker site as well as an update on my blog. SO WATCH FOR IT!!!

My goals as they stand today:

1.     Eat no more than 1299 calories for the 1^st week 

2.     Drop 20 pounds in the 1^st month (I know I can do 15 pounds in two weeks when I try) 

3.     Drop 30 pounds by the end of September

This will grow and change as I grow (SHRINK) and change.

 Wish me luck!!!

And here’s a TOPIC OF THE WEEK:

How have your goals changed since you’ve grown (hopefully as a person and not in the weight-sense)?

Your Workout Buddy,

Roxy

P.S. Remember to follow me on Twitter @RainmakerRoxy and tweet my trending topic #WOBuddy...do it today!!!

Just Repeat or #JustRepeat

Howdy,

I know it's been a while. Did you miss me? I missed you!

If you missed me that much, follow me on Twitter: RainmakerRoxy.

And of course, if you are already follow me on Twitter, then you know I'm having a Twitter crisis. I am already following so many people, and new Twitter rules state that I have to have so many followers in order to follow more people back.


So this is my public apology to all my followers that I have not followed back yet, and all my current followers that I may be dropping in the near future (don't worry, I only plan on dropping spammers and companies that I automatically followed early on).

To learn more about this Twitter rule CLICK HERE!!!

But until then, I would like to build our "Workout-Buddyship" with a new trending topic I've created:

#JustRepeat

This is my version of a daily affirmation, but a little more personal. For example...

I'm getting out of the gym after a hard-ass workout, it's been a few hours since my last meal, and I see this on the car in front of me:

You think this person likes to eat? Maybe they know something about snacking that the rest of us don't?

 

I don't know about you, but for me, several things come to my mind. Mostly, how HUNGRY I am!

So I would tweet something like this: "#JustRepeat Apple or doughnut, APPLE...or doughnut, don't lie, you know which one is the right choice. #WoBN"

If my affirmations strike a chord with you, if you feel like they are true in your life, then please RETWEET YOUR HEART OUT!!!

And if you have a #JustRepeat you'd like to share, then please Tweet it and share it with me. I'd love to spread the word around.

Ok, I've said all I can say...except to Twitter...Expand my limit already!!!


Your Buddy,
Roxy

P.S. For those of you confused, #WoBN stands for "Workout Buddy Needed."
