Challenging You, Challenging Me... for the Janeway

And we begin...

I am about 10 pounds down on my Quarter Pound Challenge.

Several weeks back, I decided and announced that I would start the Quarter Pound Challenge... an effort to lose weight in support of myself and the Janeway Telethon. A bunch of kind and generous friends and colleagues have signed on to sponsor me at least $.25 a pound of weight loss by the Telethon, June 5/6, 2010.

I am writing this today to say that about 10 pounds down, I am throwing out a 6-week challenge to everyone!

I am asking you to join me, either by sponsoring me and/or setting your own 6-week health goal. Let's see what we can all achieve in 6 weeks.

If you decide to sponsor me, please email me at barry.green@cna.nl.ca with your commitment.

If you decide to join me with your own health goal, subscribe here and chime in with your results over the next 6 weeks.

Here is my goal:

15 additional pounds down in 6 weeks. That would get me to about 25 pounds in total for the Challenge... and about 40 pounds down from my max weight last year!!! I intend to do this with daily weights and dance practice and walks, lots of water and eating right... each day.

AND, I will be weighing in here with words each day... and a video each week.... all to let you know how things are going and encourage you along your way. Let's create a healthy conversation here for 6 weeks... for you, for me and for the Janeway Children's Hospital.

Hoping you join me.

And yes, we begin!

Peace.
