Throw Down

So, over the weekend I received a throw down, a challenge, an "I bet you can't". It came from a well meaning friend and I know he believes in me but he is stubborn and believes that if I don't go about my journey the way HE thinks than I am certain to fail...funny, I have had several men in my life who hold to this way of thinking...and being the 'stubborn' girl that I am I have to prove this dude W-R-O-N-G!!! But, it's advantageous for me because it simply puts fuel in my already lit fire, a light under my already lit ass, and on his part it was a foolish thing to say.

Can I lose 100lbs in 5 months? For the ability to say "I did it" and $1000 that I plan on spending on new matching bras and panties and other cute clothes from Victoria's Secret? You betcha ass I can!!!

I've already lost 28lbs since January and each day I am more motivated to see this through...this health change and weight loss journey may have started as a New Year's resolution but it's gone on two and a half months longer than most resolutions ever last. It's stuck through traveling and working away from home, vacation, and bad days and sad news...but with every single set back, I assess how I can stay motivated and keep on keeping on!

All I really have to say to my challenger in the sweetest way possible is "THANKS for the motivation Sucka!"
