Bring it on

Today was the second day of a weight-loss challenge I joined at work. It's between myself and four other girls and at the end of the month, one of us will win $100.

Let's just say I'm already thinking of what I'll buy with MY winnings.

I consider myself a pretty laid-back person, but when there's a prize involved (especially money), I get very competitive. Hell, who am I kidding - if it were just bragging rights up for grabs, I'd still want to win. Last night I even dragged myself out of bed (after a short nap) and went to the gym (moaning all the way there), which I never would have done a few days before. This workout made me super hungry today, but I stuck to healthy snacks even after a teammate offered me a cookie, which I easily rejected. Although I did suggest she offer it to one of the girls in the weight-loss competition. Heehee....

No workout tonight due to too many "power drains" this afternoon (a term I learned from a Managing Conflict class.) Instead, I'm headed off to sleep early to regenerate my body -- gotta make it to Step class tomorrow night!!

More updates to come...
