BRING IT!

I have eagerly accepted a month of May weight-loss challenge from The Grumpy Man over  at Lost 100 Pounds (The Grumpy Man’s Guide to Losing weight and keeping it off).  Rumor has it that my buddy David over at testingtruechange and J over at 52 Weeks, 52 Pounds are jumping in on the action, too.  Well, well, well gentlemen….

Oh wait…it looks like my friend Shonnie from Diary of an Angry Fat Woman and my very own daughter Elysia are joining in the beat down fun.

The problem about being up against The Grumpy Man is that he has lost over 150 pounds and knows exactly what he needs to do BUT I also know my opponent’s kryptonite…

The oh-so-tasty Dorito Taco from Taco Bell.  I can almost taste the flavor explosion in my mouth right now…DELICIOUS!  ; )

I went to the grocery store after work to initialize my game plan and my juicer is ready to go.

LET’S DO THIS!

I have to admit Saturday will be my challenge.  On Cinco de Mayo we are celebrating my son’s 16th birthday (He turns 16 May 7th) and he has requested dining at our favorite Mexican restaurant.  Jaliscos in Georgetown has the best Mexican food that I have ever had and it could cause a problem for me.  Even if I can make a healthier choice at dinner, the margaritas are certain to do me in.  I will have to stick to water margaritas water margaritas water margaritas…there is no way I am drinking water…sometimes you just have to get real with yourself.   ; )

Cheers!

Oh, IT’S ON!

*listens intently*

Oh what’s is that I hear? *keeps listening* Could that be a CHALLENGE?!

Oh yes, it is…

The Grumpy Man MUST have been reading my mind about needing a good kick start to really get my weight-loss journey going again. He’s issued a challenge; thrown down the gauntlet, as he’s stated. He’s created the challenge of “lose more weight than him in the month of May.” He’s lost over 150lbs already on his weight-loss journey, and I’m just crazy enough at over 300lbs to try to lose more weight than him this month.

I’m not happy about it in the least, but I’m going to report that I weighed in tonight at 323.6lbs. What I *am* happy about is the last time I weighed myself  (a few weeks ago, and it was in the morning) was 327.4lbs. I’ve lost some weight in the past month or so! But with this challenge, it’s time to get tough. I mean some serious business! I’ve clearly had motivation problems lately, however, this challenge is going to be exactly what I need to get my butt into gear. Plus, a little friendly competition (and a little trash talking) never hurt anyone

I’m pumped, motivated, excited, thrilled, and READY to get this thing going. Mr. Grumpy Man, I say….

May the best man woman win
