Bucket List Item: Lose a Marathon

I never was one for running. It was the part of P.E. that I absolutely dreaded. I know some people who absolutely swear by it. I'm still not buying it. Instead of adding "win a marathon" or even "run a marathon" to my bucket list, I have decided to LOSE a marathon. Yes, you read that correctly...sorta.

I recently came across this blog that talks about a challenge to lose 26.2 pounds. I certainly have more than that to lose, but I thought this sounded like a fun challenge.

I'm not off to the best start these first few weeks. However, our family recently received a year long membership at a nearby, posh health club in exchange for services my husband provided. So far we have only taken advantage of the "water park," as my daughter calls it. Hubby will meet with the trainer tomorrow morning to get on a workout regimen. I am going to make an appointment this week as well. We are both on a mission to shrink!

START - Monday, June 18, 2012

FINISH - Monday, Sept. 17, 2012
