being an adult means making tough choices

**** I did not write this for help or because I feel bad, I just didn't want to answer the "why" question a multiple times. I am already excited for the fall and feel great about my decision.****

I hate it, but that is the fact folks. I have deferred starting my MBA work until the fall. WINI Cooper has decided that she wanted a new power steering pump and some parts of the rack repaired. You guys know me, any other car and I would have sold the damn thing and found something else to drive, but not my WINI. The repair is only a few bucks shy of tuition but with Amanda out of work this summer, both just aren't in the cards. As an adult, these decisions suck but I am glad I don't have to drive to intense and brief summer session in a truck with no air conditioning. I am ready to go come August 24th.

Biggest Loser

We are going to start the biggest loser at work on January 1st.  I am going to take my second serious shot at weight loss.  Last time I did great for almost a year, I had lost 46lbs and over the last year I have found each and every one of them, plus three.  During this time, I would like to loose 30+ lbs but my overall goal will be to loose 55-60 lbs.  Even better, just a healthier lifestyle and a longer life.  

In the pursuit of this goal, I will need your help.  I will have my work family to hold me accountable while I am there, I will need all of you for the rest of the time.  I am going to post my weight every Monday on the blog, if I don't post call me out, make me.  If I step out in your presence, call me on it.  I will not take offense because I know you have the best intentions for my well being.  Other than that, if you have any tips, want to do something athletic or healthy, please include me.  I don't like to exercise for the sake of exercise, but I do love playing sports, riding my bike, all that junk that has a purpose.  So if I accidentally work out, then awesome!!!

That is all I ask of you.  This should be a lot of fun!  I loved the way I felt about myself when I was 49 lbs thinner than now, I look forward to feeling that way again.
