New Challenge

My little sister and I had an hour long conversation over the phone today. We were talking about weight issues.

She moved out on her own 2 years ago. While she was out on her own, she lost quite a bit of weight. I did the same thing when I moved out on my own. Since she's moved back near my parents (she lives with my 90 yr old grandmother), she's put all of her weight back on.

Anyway. I told her about the Lap-Band option. She's basically against it. We started talking about small changes that we can make and that we need to keep on top of each other and make ourselves stick to the changes.

I've been challenged to lose 60 pounds by November. That's when we'll be flying out to California for our family vacation and my friend's wedding.

I was really motivated just talking to her. I got off the phone, sent a text message about the challenge to my 3 pushers (my friend here in MD, my best friend in Vegas and my hubby). As soon as I was done with that, I did a 20 minute cardio video.

I feel awesome.
