It’s been 20 weeks since my coworkers and I began the Good Day Wisconsin Great Weight Loss Challenge.    There were some good weeks and some bad weeks.  For me it was a good 3 days and then a bad 4 days.  Bad in terms of eating whatever I wanted over the weekend.  I was really good in the beginning at keeping track of my calories and every little bite that I ate.

As I got used to eating less, I stopped logging my meals but I never stopped working out.  I tried to get to the gym or do some sort of exercise every day.   I average about 4 or 5 times a week. 

HERE ARE MY RESULTS.  I came in 3rd.  Not too bad!  There were about 14 of us taking part and we ALL lost weight.  One of our news directors came in 1st place losing 33 pounds or 14.3%   Way to go Lee!  He gave up a lot and started working out a lot!  For him the weight loss effort was daily.  No room for slacking!   I lost 13.7 lbs.  My goal was 20.  Not great.  But not horrible.  I definitely feel better.  And like Lee said today during the final results — “it’s a lot of hard work.”   But the payoff was great.  

So set a goal.  Grab a buddy.  And “just do it.”

See you at the Bellin!
