With losing 100 lbs in the next year being one of my goals, I figured I may as well sign up for a bunch of fitness challenges. Its something I’m going to do anyway, so why not reap some side benefits and maybe win some prizes? It will help add a level of accountability to my goal as well. Once I make it past the 3 month mark (which most of these challenges will cover) my new habits should be impressed into my brain.
I’ve registered for the following challenges, and may sign up for others if they seem to be a good deal, and not just a way to market more junk to me.
- Work challenge. We do these about twice a year. Anyone who wants to participates pays an entry fee, and the pot is paid out to the winners. I’ve won this competition once, and I’ve been a slacker and contributed to the pot several times. I want to win this one this time!
- http://www.50millionpounds.com/ I saw this one on a commercial while watching the season premier of The Biggest Loser. I’m waiting on my local State Farm to get another shipment of the welcome kits, I stopped by and they were out of them and just ordered more.
- Discovery Health National Body Challenge
- Biggest Loser Pound for Pound Challenge
- Signed up for the fitness challenge at the local gym, Idaho Athletic Club. Beginning stats: 278 lbs, 31.3% body fat (87 lbs fat, 191 lbs lean mass). Neck: 16.5, Chest 48.25, Waist 50, Hips 43.5, thigh 23, calf 17.75, biceps 15. Ouch.
