The weigh-in for the "biggest loser" at work was last Tuesday, August 7. I lost a total of 28 pounds. My goal was 27 or 10% and I was able to meet that. Despite the big loss, I did not win the contest. A co-worker of mine lost 27 pounds but started at 181. He lost 15% in about 9 weeks!! That is a crazy amount. I told him he looked sick and to use the winnings to buy a lot of food. I took that week off from my strict diet and working out to rest. I started back this week doing Crossfit. I do really like the workouts but I don't think I can afford the $150/month fee. I have payed for this month so I'm going to finish it out, but not sure yet for the following months.
Football is just around the corner. Fall practice has started and it is only about 2 weeks til kickoff. Already the media is going crazy printing stories that are half true and full of misquotes and falsities. It amazes me that "journalists" can write this stuff just to make headlines and get hits on their blogs. It is sickening and has the potential to ruin lives and careers. It really puts a damper on the season and college football in general.
In baseball, the Braves are currently 4.5 games back in the East and are 3 games up in the wild card. They have the 2nd best record in the NL since the All-Star break and have the best ERA. They are playing their best ball right now and hopefully can keep it up through the rest of the season.
I have a 5k fun run coming up on August 25 at Veteran's Park supporting Kenya relief. It is a great charity to support and you can learn more and donate at www.kenyarelief.org. Please come out and join me and Erika in raising money for this village. Also, you can make fun of me and how slow I can jog/walk a 5k.
