Well, isn't this a neato little tool! I'm new to the FitClick blog...so far, I'm thinking it's pretty neat!
Today I joined my town's "Biggest Loser" challenge! It's a free, on-your-own 3-mo program designed to encourage it's residents to get on board w/ a healthier lifestyle. There's cash prizes @ the end, but I'm not thinking that far ahead just yet. It's only registration day after all.
They weighed us in - UGH. Really? Back there again? Cheese & rice (not literally!! That would be completely inappropriate on registration day for sure! LOL!) They measured just our waist and hips. I'm not sure how official the measuring was as I had a young, cute, twiggie HS looking student take my measurements and said "like" & "I don't know" a lot. BUT... it's a start. So, from there, my walking pal & I walked around downtown a bit prior to the rest of the day's plans in place.
The program - for a free program - is really pretty full w/ some free excercise classes - some local gyms offering more than others, but I'm anxious to try out a new gym's Zumba class (offered every other week) and their trainers 'boot camp'. Now, I've PAID (and lots of $!) for a competitor gym's boot camp and H A T E D every second of it and its crazy zero-early-AM work out time. Which, I might add was generally in January and lent us colder air &/or lots of damn weather @ such an hour.... Either way, here I am and hoping to see that the year of "45" for me turns not only into a better in-shape, thinner & happier me, but also (& moreover) one that can RETAIN the results. That's the dealio for me.... I'm not very good at retention. But I am good at starting over. So, here I go! WOOHOO!! GO ME.
