And We're Off!

Weigh In: 282.5
Five Day Average: 281.1

Well, it kind of sucked, but I had to rename the blog to a higher number. I made the mistake last week of getting too excited about losing the "100", so I jumped the gun and renamed the blog after one day's weigh-in instead of waiting to claim it with my five day average. I think the weight loss Gods weren't pleased, and punished me for that this weekend.

If anything, I'm going the wrong way. My last five weigh-ins were 283, 279, 279.5, 281.5, 282.5.

So, as frustrating as it is, I've probably talked about this 50 times in the past 7 months. Just suck it up, drink water, eat right, workout, and live strong. So, that's what I'll do.

======================

Ok, so the "Tuck's Big Challenge" is set up, and you can see it on the right side of my blog. For those of you who don't read this from my blogspot blog, you can find it here. I tried to set up the teams in the most even of ways, and tried to keep them fair. I took requests, so Kevin/Beck are put together, as well as Billy and Brian, and Gary and myself. Hopefully everyone's happy with their partner, because you've got a month with them.

This month's challenge is fairly simple. It's weight loss, and it's your body percentage. Basically, if you weigh 100 pounds and you lose 10, you will have lost 10% of your body weight. Your body weight % + your partner's body weight % = your total score. Highest score wins.

And remember, this is all for fun, and the goal is to cheer everyone on. I'm hoping that this just helps push everyone a little bit - when you're in the gym and you want to give up, give that little push. How much is that hot dog in the window? If this challenge gives you the willpower to keep on walking, then we've done our job.

So, what are you waiting for? Post your weight in a comment on this blog, and we're off and running. Wednesday will be weigh-in day - and we'll weigh in each Wednesday, and then again on August 31st. Good luck to everyone!
