Week 1 (March 26 - April 1) – So I decided to do this challenge! The Healthy Living Team Challenge that held at the Hospital and the YMCA. I have done it once before but never again due to the meetings being on Monday nights and I have always worked Monday nights. I don’t anymore, so this is my chance to try again. I am very excited and the weigh in went ok. I went on the wrong scale at first and had to weigh in on “my group’s” scale so it would be the same scale each week. I weighed about 4 lbs heavier on the correct scale. Bummer! We also were told we can weigh in each week if we want or at the end. I have decided that I don’t think I want to weigh in. I just hate that part. I also really don’t care how much I weigh. I just know I have to do this. I have to do this for my health. I have to do this so I can live a long time for my kids. I want to get into the habit of working out. Workout Wednesday with my group went ok. We really did more talking than doing, but oh well. I did play Wallyball on Tuesday and Thursday. I really LOVE Tammy. She is motivational, she is knowledgeable and she is funny which I need. I live for humor! It was fun and I did sweat a little bit! I want to win! Of course I may be talking about me winning a personal challenge of meeting some personal goals, but wouldn’t it be nice to win the whole thing?!!! My starting weight is 265 lbs. I know that you would have never guessed that I weigh that much. But, yep, I do.

Love my kids. I need to live as long as I can for them. The first step to this is by living a healthier lifestyle. I am not talking about a diet. I am talking about a way of life. Not just for me. For them as well!
