I've joined a weight-loss competition sponsored by our local hospital. It's teams of four, and the team that loses the most weight gets prizes.
Anything to spur weight loss is good. I gained some after my sister died, then some more after I cracked a couple ribs last year, then some more during the last few weeks when I couldn't exercise because of a broken ankle. It's easy to gain; less easy to get it off again.
So, it's time to take it off. The weight, I mean.
My team is called the Hot Tubbies because we'll be really hot when we're a little less tubby.
My buddy, John Boyle, (that's us above at an event last summer) is on a team called the Flab Four. I can't wait for us to whip them good.
I try not to be an overly competitive person, but I do hate to lose. Try playing a game of Sorry with me sometime. I play for blood.
So, we'll see who gets to 30 pounds quicker: me or Boyle. I think I'll leave anonymous doughnuts on his desk once a week.
