Three Way Tie?

So, as I posted about last post. I was in a weight loss Compitition for work. Well, I weighed in at work and there was basically a 3 way tie. Can you believe it? I was excited because atleast I got some of the 70.00 pot! I went and bought a new shirt which was my original plan if I won. Of course that was a zoo since we took the kids with us to the store. Mike ended up sitting out in the car with the kids on the second store because he didn't want to chase them around anymore, and who could blame him? He was great and gave me good imput on the shirts. It was fun and I found a shirt that went with a skirt that I'd had for about 4 years and no longer had a shirt to go with it. I'd only worn the skirt about 2 times though since the tag on the shirt that went with it always scratched my neck. Yes, you could tell me to cut it off and then it would be better, but I tried that and it scratched even more. Anyway, I lost 15 pounds and am super excited and plan on keeping it up so that I can hopefully pull myself up on the water skis this year!! I just need to build more muscle for that first!!

Challenge

At work we are having a weight loss challenge. The guys in the bakery got into the "Biggest loser" thing on t.v. and decided to have their own weightloss challenge. They invited anyone in the bakery that wanted to do it to join. I wasn't ready when they started in January so I thought I just wouldn't do it. Then just before March I decided to start losing it on my own. I went back and forth as most of us do when we lose weight. I was kicking myself for not joining the people in the bakery. Then one day, one of the guys pointed out that I was the only person in white that didn't sign up to do it. They told me I should join the challenge and so I didn't hesitate to sign up. I was a little embarrassed to have to put my weight on the paper for the whole bakery to see, but I thought it would be motivation for the number to atleast change. I can't tell you the awesome way I feel. I have currently lost 13 pounds (I know not alot) but the fact that my clothes from before I had Zach are actually fitting again, WHA-HOOO!! The weigh in for the end of the challenge is this weekend. I'm a little nervous because Amy and Tom have either lost the same amount as I have or a pound or two more. I'd like to win since the pot is $70.00, but if I don't, (I'll bawl my eyes out) it's still nice that my clothes now fit or fit better than they did before. I am going to keep going after the challenge is over because I'm not having anymore kids so I can't use that excuse anymore, and I'm just tired of carrying around this weight! Wish me luck for Saturday's weigh in!
