The thrill of victory

First off, Go Gamecocks!  Nice game last night.  Sorry, Tigers.

(Remember, I'm a Cubs and Raiders fan - I don't get much opportunity to celebrate.)

Hubby and I decided to start a friendly competition.  He joined a gym and focuses on working out there.  I work out at home but join him once or twice a week at the gym. I'm also eating cleaner than he is and having Shakeology every day.  We took our measurements on October 26 as our starting point.  We did not set any particular goals. Well, I did - I wanted to beat him, lol.   Guess what - I did! 

11 1/2" inches lost overall (neck, chest, waist, hips, arms, and thighs).  
YES!  He lost 3" and immediately said I won because I'd been working longer.  We started on October 26, buddy.  Suck it up and deal!  I love you.  

This is huge for me because he loses weight easily while the scale tends to laugh at me.   That's alright.  I have what I need to stay motivated and focused:
Shakeology Chocolate Mousse?  Yes, please! 

  • Shakeology - every day.  Breakfast, lunch, lat dinner on crazy days, a snack, or dessert.  
  • A mix of my favorite programs - Tai Cheng, 10 Minute Trainer, Turbo Jam, and Rockin' Body.   (And some are on sale right now for the holiday weekend).
  •  Nearly-new clothing in my closet that I love and cannot wait to get back into.
  • Visions of a future with less pain and better health.


I know I'll end 2012 stronger and fitter than the beginning.   What about you?

Until next time, peace.
