« I do the dumbest things sometimes. | Main | Weight Loss Challenge! »

So I noticed Friday that my stomach appeared to be a bit bigger than it had been. I mean, my old pants are still too big, but my new pants are not as loose, and I carried most of the extra in my belly and it just seemed like the belly was bigger.

On Friday night I changed into a skirt and sweater I had wanted to wear to dinner, and the skirt had been a lot loose the last time I wore it, but that night it fit just about perfectly - if not a tad bit small.

So, yikes. Face it, I've been only sporadically getting my training done, and though I've been doing really well when I do run, it just hasn't been a consistent thing. And if I don't get back on the bandwagon, I'm going to have to lose 80 pounds again.

Also, I really should put away the breadmaker. Because I'm pretty sure that's where most of this extra weight came from.

...well Good Grief, I just stepped on the scale this second, with a full load of lunch in my belly, and while I did gain five pounds over the holidays, I haven't gained an ounce in the last two weeks.

So maybe I'm just bloated. Who knows. GAH.

But the fact is that my training has lagged, and Erin made it clear that she was still up for the Olympic distance triathlon in June - something I guess I thought she was going to bail on - so I need to get going. That means running when I'm supposed to run and swimming twice a week like I'm supposed to. GRRRR.

So my friend Stuart, an ultra-runner, created this weight loss challenge starting tomorrow - and you're all welcome to join too. Everyone who is in will buy one $20 gift card from Road Runner Sports. Then every week we email Stuart our weight, and whoever has the greatest percentage lost will be sent a gift card from someone else in the challenge. Click the link if you want all the rules, but what it means is it costs $20 to join the group, and you could conceivable win $20/week for however many weeks you have the top weight loss.

And you know all I need is a challenge.
