Weight Loss Challenge 2011

As with the rest of the world, I have decided it is time to do something about my weight.  As I watch it get a little more and more it has to come to a stop.  I got an elliptical for Christmas and am geared up to start using it.  We are doing a weight loss competition at work.  We each picked teams and weigh in as teams and get weekly prizes if you have the highest percent of weight loss.  It's been fun to have the friendly competition at work.  Everyone is watching you which makes it easier to be good.  Anyway, today was week 1 weigh in.  Since I am home sick I had to weigh in at home, but thanks to strep and a little hard work, I have lost 13 pounds in this first week!!!!!! YAHOO!!! I am just hoping I don't gain any weight this next week and can still lose some.  Here is for hoping, and in case you wondered, I love competition.  BRING IT ON!!! :)

STREP SUCKS!

I think that pretty much sums it up.  I have been diagnosed with the awesome plague of strep throat.  Ugh.  The only good news is that you can take antibiotics and get better.  I am on day 2 of antibiotics and am bored of being home.  I don't feel great so I don't feel like cleaning or anything, I just feel like whining.  I can go back to work tomorrow as I am no longer contagious.  It's been nice to take a break from work.  Work has been absolutely insane.  But anyway, I feel like I am finally on the mend.  My tonsils don't feel like grapefruits anymore so thats good.  :)  To all of you who are wondering, STREP SUCKS!
