Day 39

TIP OF THE DAY: Make weight loss a commitment and promise to stick with it.

I walked around a lot today at work and then came home with a headache. So I did not get on the treadmill today because I thought it would just make my head heart worse.

Today at work I signed up for the Bottom Line Challenge. How it works is you get weighed and measured today. They also tell you your B.M.I and FAT INDEX. My B.M.I. is 41 (gross). Normal B.M.I is 20-25. My FAT INDEX is 48% Average is 25.4% (OK I just threw up in my mouth!) So that means that I am caring around 118 pounds of FAT!!!!!!! WOW!!! On May 17th (I believe) is when we get weighed and measured again for prizes. First place is $600. The catch is that you will get the first $400 now and then you have to weight in again at the Health and Wellness fair (which I do not know when that is) and if you are within 2% of body fat and/or 5 pounds or less of you last weigh in, you will get the remaining $200. 2nd place wins $400, $250 now and $150 later. 3rd place gets $250, $150 now and $100 later. Now the GRAND PRIZE is 1 week trip for two to Florida with $500 spending money!!!! My goal is to at least win one of the prizes. I am in it with a group of people from work so that should help.
