Minor set back...
Sadly, I was stricken with what I am pretty sure was the Swine Flu; considering it was by far the worst flu I have ever endured. Needless to say I have not been able to do my workouts very well. I tried yoga a couple nights ago, but I couldn't last very long, and last night I did some light weight lifting. Tonight however was Plyometrics, which is a lot of leg work and jumping around.
The flu must have really drained my strength because I was pretty tired half way through the work out.
So don't count on high numbers from me this week. However I have already noticed a thinning effect in Josh, and both of us feel great...now that the flu is gone that is. And really, if Josh and I are doing our job right, we should in fact be GAINING weight rather then losing, since there should be muscle building going on. So here is to hoping that we can stay at the bottom of the list! :) Except for I have no need to bulk up so hopefully I'm not gaining too much ;)
I'm back in the game!!!

Pound for Pound Challenge
I meant to mention this at the beginning of our challenge, so I apologize for being two weeks late.
If you haven't visited the "Pound for Pound" site yet, I encourage you to click on the link to the right. The Biggest Loser show is encouraging America to shed pounds to feed the hungry. In short, for every pound you pledge to lose, a pound of food will be donated. The only cost you pay is the weight you're already wanting to get rid of.
So I too, encourage each of you to set a goal and make a pledge for the pound for pound challenge. It is very easy to do!
Oh... the Pound for Pound challenge ends shortly before our family challenge ends. So please pledge what you think you'll lose by June 30, 2010.

Welcome to the Challenge!
Whether your goal is to lose 5 lbs, 50 lbs, or even just tone up your body, we are so excited to have you working with us! Its wonderful to see a family come together and support each other in living a healthier life.
Each week, we'll weigh ourselves and at least share the percentage of weight lost from the previous weeks weigh in. I will not show actual pounds for those who are not comfortable with it, but only the percentage. The list on the right of the blog will be updated with the rankings of who lost the largest percent of weight in the previous week.
Throughout our challenge, everyone is encouraged to share any tips or advice of things that may work for them. You may be able to help others with something they've been having a hard time with. Also, don't be afraid to post about any questions or frustrations you may be having. Someone else could help. I'm sure many of us are to feel a little less motivated at times or frustrated about things. If you share those with us, you as well as others will be able to see that we're not alone, we are in this together. (That may sound cheesy, but I believe it is true.)
I'll post a weekly tip on the right of the blog. I'm obviously not a nutrition or fitness guru, so these tips are coming from the Biggest Loser Show's site, not from me.
We are excited and wish everyone luck in the challenge and in achieving their own personal goals!
