Get Fit Big Guy

Well, the good kind of abuse…I guess. If there can be such a thing.

OK, so last year around this time, I was gearing up for our Lampo Losers weight loss challenge at work. It went well…more or less, but I missed getting my money back by 0.7 lb. Needless to say, I was REALLY frustrated, so when I was asked about doing it again this year, I was hesitant. But after some gentle encouragement (and a good dose of harassment), I have decided to do it again. HOWEVER, I will not go it alone.

My coworker and friend, Daniel Bell, has decided to enlist sponsors for me. Eighteen sponsors to be precise. Each has put in a percentage of my entry fee into the contest, and each of them will have full rights to encourage, harass, punish, smack food out of my hand, push me off elevators to take the stairs and other “helpful” things like that.

I have also – with a great deal of fear and trepidation – decided to give Daniel author access here on the blog, so I’ll save the full story for him as I’m sure he’ll enjoy it on a whole ‘nother level.

So, there it is, folks. Tomorrow is the Super Bowl and my 12th wedding anniversary. I can eat as much of anything as I can handle, but Monday, that life is behind me. I am walking into a lifestyle that will give me energy and life so I can enjoy the rest of my days here on this earth! So, here we go.
