a little friendly competition
Sunday night Keri and I entered into a little competition. We've both been wanting to get a little healthier and neither of us have had much success without some accountability. So I proposed that for the remainder of July we work out hard and eat right and see what we can do. Keri's goal is to lose 10 lbs and my goal is to lose 3 inches on my waist. August 1st is the date we see how well we've done. If Keri wins he will receive at $75 gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods. When I win I will receive $75 to buy a new bag. (I have a problem with loving bags and purses!) I guess if we both meet our goal we'll both get our reward! I'm sure this news is not life changing for anyone, but a little accountability goes a long way so feel free to check on me or call me out if the need arises! I do have to brag that today at library story time they were handing out blue bell ice cream. I was offered ice cream at least 5 times and I resisted! And I didn't even taste Addie's! This is a big deal for me. So here's to August 1st and being the biggest loser! Go PINK team!

y'all are funny. we totally need to do that at our house.
i was doing great yesterday until mike brought home scones from CM last night. ugh. scones! and, as if they don't have enough butter as it is, we added a little sweet potato butter on top. heavenly.
maybe we need a little friendly competition over here, too. i'll have to watch out for his sabotage attempts, though. no more CM scones.
i heard you met one of my friends at the park! small world!

Good luck - let me know how it goes. We are starting on a new diet Monday - keep me updated on yours - it sounds lots better!!
Yall crack me up! I totally need some inspiration...how in the world do you work out with two kiddos? I can't afford a gym and have 2 kids and no jogger double stroller...hum???
Good luck! Just keep the goal (prize) in mind!!
I love your Colorado pics - what a fun trip!!
I must say that there have been sabotage attempts on both sides and it's only day 3! We're having fun in our competition though. I'll lean over like I'm going to kiss Keri and whisper, "you're going down". And Keri regularly does a muscle man pose and tells me he worked out for 1.5 hours.
Karen, I hadn't worked out since I was pregnant with Addie and all that time I wouldn't join a gym because of the money issue. But I never could depend on Keri to be home in daylight to watch the kids so I could run seeing as he works all the time, especially in football season. So this year when we got our tax refund (we got quite a bit since Doak was born in 2007) I went to 24 Hr Fitness and paid for a whole year. It hurt to spend that much money, but I know it is going to make me healthy and happier and my family will benefit from it too!
I'm rooting for ya!
what a great friendly competition! keep us all posted on the results.
that is so fun... what a great idea! I'm rooting for you, Nat!
