I even found time to blog

Well, I’m playing this Game On! diet with my father-in-law, cousin Kate, and friend Laura.  We are coming up on our second weigh in and I’m finding that it’s really helping me prioritize better, and lose a little weight in the process!

Don’t get me wrong, I love food.  And, I’m not one to complain about being heavy.  But, I am at the point where I refuse to buy a larger size pant than I wear right now… and I need to cut out the snacking.  The eating-between-meals without thinking about it, something heavy on the empty calories, kind of snacking.  Dad found this book and since I’m competitive and a rule-follower, I thought it would be great!  (you can check it out at www.thegameondiet.com)

It is a HUGE change and adjustment.  But, I am losing a little weight (had a major alcohol Day Off and it busted most of my hard work in one 3-hour sitting with coworkers… evil coworkers!) and I’m watching less TV.  I’m up and moving more and spending more time playing and wrestling with the kids.  I’m drinking a lot more water (we have to drink 3L a day) but I’m also less tired.  So, thus far, it has been great!

Looking forward to playing the Game throughout the holidays and kicking some Team OH booty.
