in Success Stories
So, I never win ANYTHING, ever. I participated in a 10-week Active For Life challenge at my work, which is sponsored by the American Cancer Society. Basically, you set a weekly goal of physical activity minutes and I also set a weight loss goal. You log your activity minutes for each week, and I also kept track of my weight on a weekly basis.

Today, I got a phone call from our team captain. I was the week 10 winner! I won a weighted jump rope and a drawstring backpack. Sweet :)

On a side note - back in April when this started, I set a goal to reach 165 by the end of the campaign (June 24). Today, When I stepped on the scale - I was 164.8. Goal met and exceeded :)

Today is a GREAT day!

    Non Scale Victory.

    Like last night my wife said "You're not fluffy anymore." Those honestly are the real success stories and the scale is just a tool to help you reach those. A smaller waist line is way more important than a smaller number on the scale.
