12 Week Challenge Awards Ceremony

Winners! We finally found out who won the 12 Week Challenge! Our team came in 2nd place, which was really cool considering the fact that we had team members who got sick, injured (remember when I threw out my back playing Wii Fit hula hoop?), went on vacation, went overseas for assignments. So that's $500 split 5 ways. Yey!

One of my team members won 1st place for the portion of the challenge that didn't require weight loss. I was kicking myself earlier for not joining that one, but wanted more of a challenge so that's okay.

2 of us got Honorable Mention fruit/veggie baskets for our efforts. I think they might have felt bad because only men won for the individual places - no women.

Awesome job to all...we're all winners!

Everyone eating and waiting for the announcement of the winners.

Honorable Mention Fruit and Veggie Baskets

So now the new challenge begins...I'm having a hard time getting back on track, that's for sure. I have decided to not eat anymore "treats" and "goodies" (giving up chocolate for Halloween has been tough, let me tell you!) for another 12 weeks. I decided not to eat rice unless it's w/ my spicy ahi bowl or sushi.

I managed to get to the gym on Monday and actually stayed there for nearly an hour...a record! LOL!!! I ran into my old turbo kickboxing teacher, who was probably wondering why I haven't been to her class. Did some weights and elliptical. It was so humid and hot, but I survived. I'll try to go again today. :)
