Anyone in??

Okay, so was anyone else so completely & utterly inspired by this?

I was. I cry like a baby every single episode.

And she won. Go cute her.

Go everyone that participated, I say.

I’ve got chills. {They’re multiplyin’.}

Since we all know I live my life as an open book on this here blog, I’ll let y’alls in on a little secret:

I’m really jealous her. And so very inspired by her glowing look of health. Her confidence. Her victory over addiction & bad habits. Her totally rock-star-ness.

I am the very first person in this world to say that the inside is what matters. I believe whole heartedly in loving yourself & others for their spirit, their smile, their hearts…and nothing else. I don’t believe that being skinny is everything. I cringe at what an emphasis being thin is to young girls around the world. I feel this constant urgency to speak out against all the pressure to be a size 2 & this certain mold-of-a person society has set as the standard. Ask all that are close to me: I feel very passionately about this topic & if you ever wanna ruffle my feathers, just make inappropriate comments about someone’s weight in front of me. {and then watch your back, hehe.}

That being said: I desire a healthful life for myself & my lil family. I desire to feel comfortable in my own skin. I want to feel like I am taking the upmost care of the amazing temple that God has blessed me with. I have oodles of confidence in the fact we are all children of God with purpose & direction…and I want that light to shine as bright as it possibly can from the inside, all the way out.

But! I really like pepsi. And hydrogenated fat. And being sort of lazy & ordering take out. And prioritizing my to-do list where exercise is below something like “re-paint the baseboards”.

So here’s the deal.

I’m kicking off my own "Biggest Loser" of sorts.

And it shall be called: well, I'm not sure yet.

It begins Monday morning, 6am mountain standard time.
{I don’t even know what that means, but I just wanted to say it, to feel important.}

ALL that want to join the movement are welcome & absolutely free to participate!
{Even if I barely/don’t know you!}

I'm doing it no matter what...but I thought I'd let whoever's interested in on the party, if you wanted! (:

I will be starting a new blog, in addition to this one, completely dedicated to my/our endeavors.

It will be a place for me to post inspirational thoughts, quotes by awesome people, daily encouragement, healthy recipes, and my random life’s drama through my lil weight-loss ride. It will be a blog where comments are welcome to assist each others’ success as we endure along & pick each other up when we “accidentally” take a generous-sip from Myron’s Route 44.

It does not matter if you have 5.8 lbs or 150+ lbs to lose.
This is all about being a healthier & happier version of yourself.

I’m really excited about {conquering} bad habits & achieving goals.
Together, I & whoever wants to participate...can all ROCK!

BTW, this is all way out of my comfort zone.
I realize that this is a private issue for most people, including myself.
But I am willing to try something new, for a fun & rewarding experience.

A wise man once said…

“"Where performance is measured, performance improves. Where performance is measured and reported, performance improves dramatically.
Where performance is measured and reported publicly, performance improves exponentially."

–Thomas S. Monson (:

So…

If you want to, send me a picture…it can be just a head shot, whatev…

and then include a short phrase of why you are takin’ on the challenge to live a healthier life.

For example:

*Angie Dunn: to be the healthiest & happiest I can be.

Don’t worry, *your current weight, goal weight, goals, all of that is for your own personal business. I’m just going to post photos down the side of the blog all of the cool peeps that have made a commitment to hop on the bandwagon!

After 12 weeks, I will have y’alls submit your success stories! And one lucky recipient will win a *special-snail-mail package* from yours truly. It definitely won’t be worth 250K, but it’ll be bright, happy, fun & filled with things that I totally love.

But most of all, in 12 short weeks, we will be well on our way to living in complete confidence in who we are & what we can achieve!

Sound cool?

K, email me your pix:
