Exercise can be fun!

Last weekend, we participated in the MS walk in Spokane.  It was a last minute thing for me, but since the MPI Chapter had a team in Seattle, I felt like Spokane should have a team too.  Lucky for me, my friend Kelsey signed up too.  We brought our kids, and Justin joined us too, so our team was 50% adult and 50% under 5.  Pretty funny team!

We raised about $50, so obviously our goal for next year is to raise more money, and increase participation....

Stay tuned for the opportunity to sponsor us next year!

On a side note, this is a rare picture of me.  I usually don't make the blog posts since I am the one taking the pictures, but today Justin was able to snap a few for us.

Who is the biggest loser now?

For the last 3 months, we have been doing a biggest loser challenge at work.  We all weighed in together in Marchm, and then had our final weigh in last week.  During the challenge, we all tried to eat healthy and exercise more.


At the end of the challenge, we had a celebration and there were prizes for the biggest loser man, woman, couple, corporate & overall loser.  At the event, we had the chance to meet Ali Vincent, since she now lives in Spokane.


I am proud to say that our cvb team won for the corporate prize. We lost the highest percent of weight & body fat. I am happy to say I lost 10 pounds. I still have some weight to lose, but this was a good motivator and will help me to stay on track. It was great to hear Ali speak. She reminded us that you don't have to always go to the gym to workout. Use your body's weight as resistance and start walking. Small changes can make a big impact over time.


Here's to my lifestyle change and healthy living!  Cheers!
