Ok, so I just couldnt resist.  At my work, they started a “Biggest Loser” program in January with a $10 buy in….the winner determined by % of body weight lost.  There was also a weekly weigh in, for $1 entry, to give small prizes to the current weeks leader.

Nine weeks later, I dropped 27 lbs and am down from 18% bodyfat to 12.8% bodyfat (measured by handheld electrical device).

Paleo and keeping close track of caloric intake via Livestrong.com, crossfit and several 5k runs burned the fat off.

It was only a $200 pot, but losing my belly has been priceless!!

We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.

Success isn’t how far you got but the distance you traveled from where you started.

All the woulda-coulda-shouldas, Layin’ in the sun. Talkin bout the things, they woulda-shoulda done. But those woulda-coulda-shouldas all ran away and hid, From one little did!
