A new challenge!

I had a new challenge (or 'bet') thrown at me this weekend! I am staying perfectly at my current weight. However, I am not exercising and would not mind loosing a bit more and toning my body.

A bit of history before I get to the bet. My husband and I are hitting the beaches of Hawaii November 28 for 5 days. We are going with family, but leaving our darling daughter with grandma and grandpa. I have been on the look out for a great tankini of some sort, something I have not done in ages! I need a tankini to hide the post-baby and post-weightloss stretch marks!! And prefer to have a skirt type bottom to hide my thighs. But, if I win the bet I hope my thighs are long gone!!!

The other half of the bet is my husband. Last year he lost a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time by just not eating much. It was very unhealthy, but he was doing it for a deal his dad made with him. A year later he has gained it all back plus some.

THE BET
I loose 9lbs, get to 125lbs, he looses 29lbs (I won't divulge his stats here without his permission). If I get there first, I get the new camera I want before our vacation. If he gets there he gets to play a $125 round of golf in Poipu, Hawaii on our vacation. The deadline: November 20, 2008
I am holding my husband to his promise that he do it in a healthy way and it is a true lifestyle change, and if he gains it back within a year, I get something (hopefully I already have the camera by then!!)


I plan (or hope) to keep my readers up to date on our little bet. I want my camera!! I gotta get my booty moving!
