I knew I had to change when I went to the mountains for a week with my kids. It was great and pathetic at the same time. Wonderful fresh snow, completely snowed in, a winter wonderland. We ski, the kids and I ski, except over this past Christmas week in the mountains, I was a slug, slothful. We rode snowmobiles around the yard, had snowball fights, played games, but never once in 8 days hit the slopes. I had every excuse, I was tired, the crowds were too great, even when family called to ski I had an excuse. It was truely pathetic. I was worried that i would get hurt.....Enough became enough. I used to joke about my height to weight ratio being out of whack, but this week was pathetic. I am looking forward to dropping 50-60 lbs quickly and getting back in shape on on my skis, bike, rollerblades.
The program I have joined is for rapid weight loss for people who are willing to go on a food vacation for a period of time. Guys lose weight on average about 5 lbs per week, women about 3 lbs per week. as you can see. I have been above average over the past 5 weeks. I guess I just made up my mind to do this. Losing the weight is the easiest part. Say tuned to the time when i go into Transition (4 weeks) when I get back to eating.

Game on!
