The results were released tonight for the fitness challenge I was in... and while I didn't do as good as I had hoped, I did come in third out of four in my category... won a month membership at a gym and a few other things... first place took home almost six hundred bucks!

It was a 12 week program put together by the college in our city. They took measurements and based a point system on fat weight lost and muscle gained. This site had a lot to do with how I finished and giving me the motivation to continue!

While I didn't finish first, it has motivated me to continue doing this fitness thing and become a healthier human being. Heck, may even sign up for it again, it starts in two days!

Well, thanks... not so sure about being an inspiration, but just wanted to let people know it can be done! Really, it only takes about an hour a day...!
