I learned a really important life lesson today..... Don't ask for something unless you are 100% sure you want it. I told my trainer JAY ALTMAN monday that I needed a challenge. You would think after a year with this person I would know well enough not to ask HIM for a challenge. You see normally I ask my friends or fellow bootcampers. No..... stupid me asks my trainer, the one who has pushed me to the limit for the last year. WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!
So today he says he has my challenge. First I will tell you my penalty, If I don't make my goal of being 159lbs or under by March 18th I can't have a lunch date or eat out anywhere, with anyone for 30 days. I can handle that! I was just glad he didn't say give up my phone :)
But here come the challenge.... the hard one. He wants me to blog every day...... yes, I said every day: about my day: how it went, my struggles, what went well, what I ate...... you get the idea. Okay, I can handle this right? Yes I can! but wait there is more....... I have to post a picture.. DAILY.......
biggest loser style......
hang on while I pick myself up off the floor ........ Let me repeat myself, I have to take a picture everyday in shorts and a sports bra! Okay I'm feeling nauseous.......now I am hyperventilating and my anxiety is coming back.... BREATH, good........ b r e a t h......got it...... okay.
Blood is coming back into my head. I think I can make sense of things now.
Most of you would say "why don't you just say NO" or "who cares, do your own challenge" And one person hmmmm..... AMY said "not in a million!" The problem with this whole thing, Jay Altman knows I can not and will not back down from a challenge. My family, my friends know I cannot back down....... am I right? It's like it's this thing in my head that I have to do it. I know it's for my good, I know when I get this last 24 pounds off I will be ecstatic that I met my goal :)
But for now...... I HATE THIS!
So I am calling ALL FELLOW CHALLENGERS...... for the next 30days participate with me, send me your picture (it can be with your head cropped off) of you in your biggest loser attire and I will post it along with mine. If I can do this...... trust me you can do this! Because really...... Jay has picked one of my top 3 fears and I have to post it for everyone to see. okay nausea coming back.....
I WILL NOT mention names of people in my blog that chose to participate, unless you want me to. I will promise to keep my blogs short and sweet and I need you to promise to keep reading even if you don't participate. DEAL? I will write and post my first picture tomorrow, so get those pictures to me ASAP! EMAIL ME HERE with your pictures!
Thanks for listening..... I'm off to find a 20 year old duplicate body to use as a stand in that has no sagging! LOL
