Update

I know its been a while since I last posted. Here's a little bit of an update:

I have a girlfriend now, yeah crazy hon. Its going pretty good so far. At my weight loss challenge, I weighed in at 163.6, and got second place. I lost just about 10lbs in the challenge that lasted 7 weeks. I am in between challenges now. I still want to lose a little bit more weight, but the big thing for me right now is losing more body fat percentage and getting my stomach tight, which seems to be the last thing to happen.

I goal is to get my body fat to about 10% and my stomach to show my abs.

My business with Herbalife continues to grow. I have been practicing consultations about the weight loss programs with friends and family. I am shy, but I am getting more comfortable with it. I find the programs very valuable and I want to share them with other people.

Lost Bet, but still got to my lowest weight since HS

Well I lost my bet to my brother. In August, my brother and I were both about 175lbs, we decided to make and bet and who ever lost the least amount of weight had to shave their heads. Well I weighed in at 160lbs and he weighed in at 154lbs, so I lost the bet. However I did get to the lowest weight I have been at since High School. So I was happy it streched me to reach for a new accomplishment. Even though I lost the bet what it made of me to try to get there and get close meant a lot to me! Thats my brother in the pic shaving my head.

Post Race

Sorry guys I haven't been on your blogs lately and commenting. Been soo busy with the race and my new "girlfriend". Just a quick update.

I ran the race faster than expected, 13.1 miles in 1 hour and 39 minutes, it was an Awesome Race! It was soo much fun running with a group. The support before the race, during the race and after the race from Team Challenge was amazing. I met a girl at the 10 mile mark from Boston that was on the team and she helped push me the last few miles.

Weighed in at 164.6 yesterday, lowest weight I have been at since High School!

Las Vegas Rock and Roll Marathon

I went to Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino today, where the race starts, and picked up my packet for my first 1/2 marathon. It was incredible to see all of the Awesome booths, with the best running gear I have seen. Good thing I didn't bring any money because otherwise I would have bought a lot and I don't have the money for it right now. Got my packet and a free shirt inside which was Awesome, Suigo shirt, soo comfortable! I'm ready to Rock now!

I ended up being $200 short of my goal for my fundraising. I still have until Jan. 16th to raise more money but I really don't feel like asking people after the race. If people do great but if not I will poney up the difference.

Tomorrow, first thing, I have a training at the Suncoast for Herbalife, 10a.m.-4p.m., it will be a challenge waking up, since I am working 8p.m.-4a.m. tonight. After that, I am meeting up with Team Challenge(Crohns and Colitis group) at 6p.m. for a Pasta dinner at MGM Grand, then seeing Robin Williams at 8p.m.. I got a room for Saturday and Sunday at MGM Grand so I don't have to fight traffic. That and I love the spa suite they have there. I love Hot Tubes, Sauna's etc.!! The race is 6:15a.m. Sunday morning, we'll see how much if any sleep I get the night before.

Wish me luck. I will take pictures and post them up soon.

Weigh In

Today is my Weigh In for my Weight Loss Challenge. This week was pretty good, but I think I have to be great to get over my current hurdle. I seem to be able to maintain 170lbs but if I want to lose more, I really have to push myself to exercise more and eat healthier. My goal is 155 lbs by Dec. 12th, quit the challenge!
