The Challenge!

I received an intriguing text yesterday.  This was a call to battle, a battle of wills, a will to win!  The challenge, a friend and I put in ten dollars each month for three months and at the end of April, the winner, or in this case loser of the most pounds, gets the cash.  Now, while cash is nice, payment may actually come in the form of a well-deserved shopping trip of some sort.  As most of you know, when it comes to playing games, I have a, well, competitive spirit.  To turn down this offer would be difficult.  On one hand, I began this journey for the sole purpose of getting healthier.  To keep things simple and focused, rather than going psycho over numbers and diet plans; this is still my standing.  However, who am I to deny a friend in need of a little jumpstart, right?  If I'm motivating their need to get healthier too, who am I to be the defeatist?  So, here's what I figure.  I can battle and still focus on my own plan (eat good, energy producing, brain smart, healthy food all day and exercise 3-4 times per week).  This is what I have been doing.  In fact, we just went back to the store tonight and restocked the skinny chick treats.  My "carry on" bag is always full.  I worked a long day and came right home and exercised before going out with the man.  My point, why not throw a little competition in the mix for three months.  After all, I'm going to be on this journey for a long time. Now, I'm sure if my friend is soliciting me with this competition, said friend means business as well!  Well...

Bring it on! :-)
