dead man walkin'

so......i was reminded as i sat by a friend's pool this week, that swimsuit season really is upon us.  oh joy!  i have learned to love the body god has given me, but have also realized that i need to take care of it.  i am not sure he "gave" me the extra muffin top...i think that would be a wretched "gift" from my time spent at jax's donuts or taco bell (thank you so much for that).  so discipline is my "new" thing (mark doesn't think i have much when it comes to food and exercise...that sounds horrible and he didn't mean it in a mean way, just in an "i challenge/ double-dog-dare ya" kinda way-probably some kind of reverse phsychology).  anyway, starting monday i will begin a weight loss competition with some co-workers.  we have about 10 weeks until school is out and we have decided to challenge one another to lose weight and slim down a bit.  we each pay $1 a week and weigh in on fridays.  at the end of the 1/2 way mark and the final mark the person who has lost the greatest percentage of weight will win the money....well, a competition is really all i need.  i am a pretty competitive person and really like to win.  so, i am in in to win it.  i have tried not to scarf down on all of my favorite fattening foods this week off...ya know, like the night before a prisoner is executed and they get to eat whatever dinner they want.  but then again, i'd be lying if i said i didn't have a donut this morning, just to enjoy it's sweet, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth, chocolatey taste before monday hits.  well, i now say, "let the games begin and may the biggest loser win!"
