Let the Games Begin!

On Saturday May 29, 2010 at the Mismatched Game Lucy Stoole and I announced a public competition.  We have challenged each other to a healthy weight loss competition.  We are both wanting to lose 30 pounds!  Lucy’s goal is to drop that much by Labor day and mine is to lose the weight by the time I see Cher perform in Vegas on my birthday (October 2).  This was in conjunction with my signing on as the spokesperson for the Rainbow Health Initiative’s Pounds for Pride!  Pounds-4-Pride is a six month challenge campaign offered through Rainbow Health Initiative to the LGBT community.  The campaign is designed to offer support and encouragement for LGBT individuals to state and achieve their health related challenges.  I have been meeting with Dr. Rhys Preston as a part of my plan to lose the weight.  So far I have gone from 199 to 182 pounds!  I encourage each of you to look at a simple way you might challenge yourself to live a healthier life.  Hey – if I can do it – anybody can!  I even took my bike from downtown Minneapolis to my bank at Snelling Avenue & 94 and back today.
