A New Day. A New Challenge

Today was weigh in day number one for me and I was hugely disappointed when I stepped on the scale and saw: 177. Crap. I've only lost one pound. Despite my disappointment, I'm moving forward just the same. And besides, it takes time, right? I found a blog that's doing a Spring / Summer challenge, and I'm joining up. Won't you do the same? Here is some information regarding the "Find Our Happy Place Spring Into Summer Slimdown 2008" Challenge. In short, here are the rules: -Grab a ticker and stick it on your blog. You don't have to proudly display your weight. Instead, your weight loss goal. -Every Friday will be "Fat Ticker Friday" where we weigh in and update our tickers with our weight loss. Again, you don't have to announce to the world your current weight, just how much you lost for that week. The first one will be next Friday, April 11th. -Link back to here on Fridays and leave a comment, and here's the good part! There will be raffle prizes drawn at random! -You can track your progress in your posts, post low-cal recipes you ran across, tips, or vent about how sucky your lack of motivation is, whatever. Let's be each other's rock! -Final weigh-in is Friday, June 6th. That's two months! Let's do this! (Cue up the motivational music!) Grand prize for the most weight lost! I went out and got my ticker (scroll to the bottom of my page to view it!) and I've added the button to my sidebar. Now I just have to stay on track! WISH ME LUCK!
