For those of you unfamiliar with my challenge, it's basically this: I weigh too much, and I want to lose some tonnage. In fact, I have lost some, so far losing a net of 55 pounds since January. That isn't enough, so I came up with the weight loss for Cancer challenge. Basically, I am saying that I will lose 100 pounds by September 1st of 2012. In return, I am asking people to pledge money (minimum $25.00, no maximum) that they will pay me if I complete the challenge by that date. In return, I will take every single penny of that money and donate it to Livestrong. I will be doing so in my Auntie Lee Counters name, not mine, as I am not doing it for any sort of recognition. I just thought that since I am doing it for me anyway, I may as well see if I can do something for others. Basically, that's the challenge, and it has started all ready. I have donors in place (always looking for more), some friends lined up to help me train and to keep me motivated, and a pretty good idea of what I need to do to make this happen.
So far, not so good. It's been hard getting back on the horse, but I am not overly worried, as I know what I need to do and how I am going to get there.
My beginning weight was 385.5 pounds. With some effort and some good choices, Next September I will be at 285.5 pounds.
Anyway, this is just the first post to get this blog active and going. I plan to try and post at least once a week, and in keeping with the tradition of my beloved, but now basically defunct blog Wide World of Timbo, I am going to try and keep it light and funny and interesting!
Excelsior.
