Just wanted to report that I have spent "Ben" (the $100 bill I won) on a new bike. After discounts and the $100, I only spend $10.50 out of pocket. Thank you Sweat Life for my new bike!!!! Carter can't wait to take bike rides with me!!

Final weigh in and my last week
Phew.....last week was a busy week. I felt the need to kick it into high gear and workout like I had gone crazy. If you haven't figured it out already, I'm a very competitive person. I've been behind a contestant for the a while and I haven't gotten myself into high gear to pass her up. One of the main reasons, recently, has been my injury. I'm happy to report that my heel has felt much better after I took a week to rest. By rest, I simply mean that I only worked out on my planned personal training days and I didn't run on it.
But this last week, I went crazy. I feel like running is the best cardio exercise for me to shed the pounds, although I hate doing it, I love the way it feels after I'm done. I would get up and run first thing in the morning. I probably ran 3-4 miles when I would normally be reading the newspaper or watching my the morning Today show. I then worked out in the evening-either with our planned personal training sessions or again running around the neighborhood. I even ran around my house in circles one day while my kids napped-yes, I had gone crazy.
But, I could see the light at the end of the tunnel and although I knew I couldn't keep up this pace for the long-term , I wanted to take advantage of the time I had and leave nothing left on the table.
Our final weigh-in was on Friday (April 29th). We weighed in, did our physiographs (that measures our body fat %), and did our final fitness test. I will say that I surprised even myself (yes my trainers were very surprised). I won't say what I lost, since the actual results don't come out until tomorrow, but I surpassed my trainer's goal by 3 pounds and my goal by 1 pound. But the weight doesn't determine the winner, that is why I'm still unsure if I have won. The winner will be the person who has lost the most body fat, determined by the physiograph. Those results they didn't share and will all be revealed tomorrow (May 3rd).
I'll find out tomorrow who won and believe me.......you will know too! :)
