Hey all!!
A couple days ago, I was doing some random surfing and decided that I needed to beef up my Chrome. So, I pulled up the Chrome Web Store to see what kind of apps they have. They have a lot of the apps you would find on your Android or iPhone like Angry Birds or TweetDeck. But one app that I found to be interesting was the Weight Loss Wars app. It's an app that connects you with a community of people who create and participate in weight loss challenges. The challenges can be either private or public. What an interesting concept. Especially if you're like me and you're pretty much working out alone.
It was really easy to register on the site and everything seems pretty straight forward. You can either create your own challenges or you can join challenges that may or may not have a fee required. In your profile you can journal your progress. You can also submit and collect recipes. There are also different calculators to help you figure out your BMI or calorie intake.
I was checking out the different public challenges and there is one in particular that I have been keeping my eye on. When I first found it there were 8 days until start date. Now there is only 1 day. The fee to join the challenge is $30 and you get a share of the big pot if you lose 10% of your body weight in the disclosed time frame. It's just a little over 3 months.
I keep thinking that it would be a good idea. But I also have my doubts. I do like competition though and I don't like to lose. This may be exactly what I need to get my butt back into gear. I have worked out everyday this week so far. And I was already working out on a pretty regular basis.
You know what? I'm going to do it. Why not? What have I got to lose?
OK. Yeah, I'm doing it. I will blog my progress in the Challenge Log page. I think this will be good. Now, if anyone is actually reading this, your encouragement with comments will be greatly appreciated. :D I will get it all set up in the morning. I will weigh in and take my "before" pics (oh my). I'll also set up my calendar to remind me of weigh ins and I will set up a countdown.
I think this will be fun. I will still continue my Shape Challenge as well. I actually really need to kick that into gear.
So, I'll let you know how it all sets up tomorrow. Till then!!!
