No Chips Challenge

Funny name, I know. Frank and I made a small wager this past weekend. I have to lose 18 pounds and he has to lose 28 pounds by the end of June. After that time we are going to run a 5K together. At the end of June we will have a "weigh in" and whoever has lost more than their above stated pounds will get a whopping $20. Yesterday was the first day and by dinner time I was ready to pull my arm off and eat it. I was starved all day. I managed to only log in 1218 calories yesterday. My goal is to eat no more than 1500 a day.

For the past 4 weeks I have been running at the gym. I've managed to work my way up to a 10 minute mile and am able to run 2.25 miles without stopping. Some days are much harder than others. I really have to push myself and pray that my legs don't fall off.

I feel like I need to blog about the challenge so I can hold myself accountable. I'm really good at talking myself out of going to the gym or talking myself into eating things I know I shouldn't. Things I shouldn't eat: those damn salty chips at Chipotle. Ugh!

So, for the next couple of months I'll be posting about the fun and exciting No Chips Challenge. I'll be pushing myself to lose weight and get back into my old clothes. Wish me luck!
