Memorial Day

I find motivation in odds places. A good friend of mine is having a Lap-Band procedure today. Over the weekend I suggested we enter a "weight-loss competition", as a means to keeping each other motivated. I'll be honest... I don't approve of the invasive procedure. She is young and healthy enough to lose the weight through nutrition and fitness. I suppose it is her decision and I should be supportive.

Now that I've been laid up for 5 weeks due to my knee surgery I have packed on 10+ pounds... on top of the already 50 I need to lose. MY personal challenge is to see if I can keep up with her.
