I Love A Challenge

So starting July 1st Chris and I are racing to lose 20 pounds! If I lose 20 pounds I will be back to almost what I weighed when Chris and I started dating. I don't want to lose the weight because of my looks at this point in life, it's honestly so I'm just a little bit healthier. We have lots of heart problems in our family and I don't want to have to worry about it. My little scare of high blood pressure after Corbin was born was enough for me. So I'm pigging out until the 1st. I think Chris is really determined and so am I. It's easier for me to workout because I'm at home all day. But for Chris he will really have to make time for it. Working 6 pm to 6 am then coming home and sleeping...well it doesn't leave much time for us and especially not a lot of time for a workout. I'm sure we will both do fine. I think if I just step up my walking a bit and cut out my late night snacks that should help. I've done the strip-arobics dvds (not fun), I've done the wii-fit (got bored with that), and I'm not joining a gym (i hate working out in front of people) so I think I will stick to walking with the baby and a few sit ups. Oh and lots of swimming. Ok so what's a challenge without a prize at the end? This challenge has the best prize of all! A healthier body? Heck no that's just a plus. The prize is...(drum roll please) Who ever loses 20 pounds first gets to sleep in...not one day but two days...back to back! Yes that would be heaven!!!! I've gotten to sleep in (count them) three days since I've had Corbin. Yes he sleeps with us (well ok he sleeps with me, Chris is usually at work or watching movies) and I would so love to have the bed to myself for a few hours! I'm secretly contemplating weighing down my pockets so I will weigh more at the weigh-in. Ok I'm kidding. Gotta play fair I guess. So that's what's going on in the Tweedell household. That and dealing with a fussy, very hot tempered, little boy who is teething, and thinking he's turning 2. That's life though, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
