Train to Lose
I was picked to be on the Biggest Loser!
Okay, well… not THAT Biggest Loser, but my gym, Total Fitness Connection, has a contest called Train to Lose. They pick five guys and five girls, and we compete for ten weeks to see who can lose the most weight. The top three winners get a year’s gym membership, which isn’t too shabby by itself, and the grand prize winner gets $3,000!
Train to Lose
I AM going to win this thing. If it requires me doing true Atkins because I really am pre-diabetic and my body just can’t process carbs the way it should, then so be it. I am winning this contest!
More details as I get them. It starts next Friday night, but we have an informational meeting next Thursday.
And even though she’ll probably never read this, I have to give huge thanks to Dr. Pam Petty. She’s one of my bosses. I teach a literacy class at Western Kentucky University a few nights a week from 5:30 to 8:15. This contest requires a mandatory workout from 7 to 8 every weeknight. My first thought when I found out about that was that I couldn’t make it to Train to Lose, which would make me ineligible, and I would lose my spot to someone else. However, with nothing more than a quick email, she is going to let me switch my class to first thing in the morning so I can still workout and be part of Train to Lose. Dr. Petty is awesome.

WOOHOO!!!
I was trying to get into a similar challenge w/ a Golds Gym in the area…I didn’t get picked though.
Good luck!!! Hope you win yo’self some moola (and health too..thats always good)
Health is certainly exciting, and all that crap about living longer, but I must admit, I want that $3,000.
Tina wants it for the wedding.
Good luck! That $3000 will surely help wedding plans?! Remember now, it’s “our” money, lol.
Erin, it is our money, and I can’t complain, because whatever we save on the wedding goes toward the honeymoon. I’m looking forward to the wedding, but I’m really looking forward to eight days and seven nights in Antigua.
Congratulations. I’m sure you’re gonna rock it!
Wow, $3k?! That is amazing! Good luck with your challenge, and thanks for visiting my blog!
Thanks! The challenge starts tonight, so I’m definitely nervous, excited, and ready to get started.
Very cool, the best of luck!
