Weight loss competition

I have been motivated to loose more weight lately and wanting to feel better about myself. I was so happy that World Gym was offering another weight loss competition. It began a week ago and goes until the end of March. The cost was ten dollars to get in and the winner receives a cash reward! I was thrilled about that! I won the contest that they had last April and I felt so good about myself. I lost 10 pounds and 5 % body fat. I won an exercise ball and three months of my gym membership for free. I already had a ball, so I took it back and bought a bat. If you know me, I have a passion for softball! Anyway, the last competition they had, I was not so motivated, I was gone most of September, which was when it began, I barely exercised and I did not eat well. Then my body went downhill with holiday eating, etc. So I am motivated again! I guess it is kind of a New Year's resolution type feeling. My goal is to loose 10 pounds again. I was surprised at how easy it was to loose the pounds when I really set my mind to it. I did have to sacrifice goodies and pop, eat healthier (not perfect by any means) and watch what I ate late at night. But I did it in 6 weeks. This time, the competition is longer, so I hope that I can loose more. And I already decided that there is no harm in treating myself on the weekend to a goody, but just one!
