A CHALLENGE TO KEVIN FRANKISH & ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO WIN!

CHALLENGE TO WIN!

I'd like to challenge Kevin Frankish from Breakfast Television (Toronto) to continue to get healthier in the month of FEBRUARY, 2012 and WIN with his journey to lose weight.


 I have heard Kevin say that he has reached a plateau in his journey to lose weight and get healthier. I totally understand this stage when it seems no matter how well you are doing with your get-healthy routine of proper diet and exercise, there aren't any noticeable results.

This stage can be very frustrating since we are making the necessary changes (that aren't always fun changes, but are important) and yet with all we are doing, or not doing (not eating too much of the wrong things), we aren't seeing any results.

I believe by challenging Kevin Frankish for this month of February, it will give me the added incentive to win also. We (his audience of BT and readers of this blog) are all rooting for him and I'm excited to really step up to this challenge for my own benefit. Anyone who wants to join in this challenge is more than welcome to work towards a win for themselves for this month of February. I'd love to hear comments of how everyone is doing.


A little bit of information about me, Paula Wilson, from the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario, CANADA...

I have struggled with my weight for a number of years. Nothing exceptionally worrisome but just those few annoying excess pounds that always seem to be so elusive to work at losing.
Well, those few elusive pounds have increased in the last 5 years as a result of a more sedentary lifestyle as a result of retirement years.

Now I'm to the point that I would like to lose 50 pounds, but if not all this goes and just some weight is lost in this month, I will still be very happy.

"THE JOUNEY BEGINS" again...... 

I haven't done my treadmill exercise for about a year, well, maybe not that long, as I was journaling it in my Etsy Team discussions. The TEAM is called "Weight Loss TEAM" .

*** Even if you are not a member of Etsy (the online handmade community) you can definitely benefit from reading along in our Weight Loss Team discussions.

Aha, I found my last post of working out on the treadmill and I was correct it wasn't anywhere near a year ago, (even though it feels like it).  It was here in this post in the Weight Loss Team...

" WHEW! Got that first item crossed off my list. ;-P
30 mins treadmill accomplished. Now on with my day!

I feel so much better knowing I wasn't slacking as terribly as I had imagined initially. Still that isn't good that it was way back in Sept of last year.
But...
I am SO HAPPY that I am getting back to my journal-ling and my treadmill routine.

My favorite meal first thing in the morning is HIGH FIBER CEREAL. 

Today I had a bowl of honey nut cheerios plus one tablespoon of natural bran sprinkled over it. 2% milk, and 2 instant coffees with milk and a level tsp white sugar. (GOT TO Have My Coffees! lol )

I wish I had a pressure cuff to check my bp. then again, maybe I don't want to know? Last time I checked it, in town at those pharmacy units, it was 180/86, so I went and got a Dr's appoint and that will be in a couple of days, Feb. 1st/12.
