<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Well, it looks like another wet day. I remember lightning flashes
waking me up last night, and noticing that my clock was blinking, so
evidently our electricity got knocked out for a time. It's a miracle
we all woke up to come to work and go to school this morning, because
I'm not at my best trying to fix the alarm when I'm already groggy.
The a.m.'s turn into p.m.'s a lot of times and I usually don't find it
out until it's too late. I must've gotten it right this time as we
woke up on schedule pretty much.<br>
<br>
<u>Today is the final Biggest Loser weigh-in</u> on our campus, so
think light, people. Today will determine who will walk away with the
pot, bragging rights and quite a bit lighter than they started out
being, and the winner will be announced next week. I know I'm not the
winner, I'm not much of a dieter, but I have lost a few pounds during
the course of the contest, and started consciously thinking more about
my eating habits. I'm more inclined to resist sitting around nibbling
on something now than I was before. Just thinking about going in there
to face Loma and seeing the scales going up instead of down makes you
feel really ashamed of yourself. All in all, whether you're the winner
or not, anyone who participated and got even a little bit motivated to
do anything to get themselves in better physical condition is a
winner. Just keep in mind that we only get one body in this lifetime
and it has to last as long as possible. We have enough strikes against
us with all sorts of diseases, ailments, environmental factors, etc.
waiting to sneak up and cause us problems, without just letting
ourselves get out of shape. (And yes, I know round is a shape, but
it's not the best shape for good health.) I'm hoping to have lost
another pound or two when I go to weigh in today. That should put me
at a weight I've been hoping to see again for a while now, (one that I
thought was just horribly huge when I was 20 and skinny, but would love
to see again now that I've been above and beyond it.) I know there
have been people asking the Staff Council if we'll be doing the Biggest
Loser again next year already, so we're going to talk about that. It
seems to have been a really good thing, so if Loma is still willing to
work with us, we'll probably try it again.<br>
