New Year, New Goals

Ok, ok, ok I know I still don't update this as I should. It can just be a New Year's resolution. Though I really hate making "resolutions." Doesn't that just set you up for failure. It sure seems to.

That being said, I am trying to lose weight. In fact quite a few folks on staff here with the Grizz are trying to lose weight, so we turned it into a contest. For cash! We all entered with $50 and go about trying to drop the pounds over a 12-week period. The person with the best weight-loss at the half-way point gets their entry fee back. The person with the best weight-loss after 12 weeks gets the rest. Best-case you lose the weight and you win 500 bucks in the process. By the way we go by percentage.

Soooooo, I thought I'd keep folks informed about my progress. I'll just let you know how I am doing and leave the other guys' to themselves.

We only weigh in three times publically: at the start-January 7, at the half-way point-February 18th and at the end-March 28th. I try to track weekly. From now on you can check my progress in subsequent postings.

I'll keep you updated. Wish me luck.
