Starting over

Happy Monday...

So it turns out that we somehow broke the scale that we are using for our weight loss challenge. I went out an bought a new one, causing the challenge to start tomorrow! Officially! Its also good because so many people were on vacation last week so it can start for real!!

I think we all have something at stake here, something that is pushing us to look our best! I know that one guy has his wedding a couple days after the contests. I personally have 2 weddings (one being his) that I need to look soo good!

I still don't have a crazy concrete plan or approach. Right now I am still rocking Weight Watchers but not doing a SUPER good job at it. The last time I did Weight Watchers I lost like 22 pounds! It was awesome! I really hope to get back into the swing of things.

Speaking of swinging... I finally played golf on a course! Its official, I am a golf super star! The image above is of me and my Golf pro* in the making boyfriend! I think the high light of the day was when I sunk a 30ft putt! It was unreal!

That's all for now! Stay motivated and stay super pretty!

SIDE NOTE:

The BEST new app for fitness is www.endomondo.com/ I have this app on my blackberry and its great! You keep it on you when you run, walk, ride a bike etc... and it maps your location, the terrain, how long, how far and then uploads it to the site. Its awesome and I suggest you check it out!

ALSO Back on Weight Watchers and its going great! Whoo! http://www.weightwatchers.com/
