week 9: 3/4 through the competition

so the jumping into 2007 competition is now 75% done, i can't believe it! it seems like just yesterday i was rolling back across the border from canada & plotting my workout plan. & now it's week nine, which means only three more weeks before the money is given to the biggest loser. right now rochelle & i are neck & neck on the weight loss. in this competition i've lost 17 lbs, which equals 6.43%. rochelle is winning by a hair at 6.73%!

even if i don't take home the big prize, i'm very pleased with what i've done. my butterfly is doing well, 23 lbs lost from the start 0f this blog with the last competition, & that's nothing to sneeze at. my bmi has went down 4 points, which is huge, & losing 6.43% of weight is a great help to my health & well on my way to the recommended minimum 10% for increased health benefits. all in all, today's weight in was good news.

& jenn is committed to kicking my butt from here to the Y, across the Y, & back again to work. so i'll be pretty hard core working out over the next three weeks....& beyond that as we roll into the time for my birthday!
