Charity and losing weight

MOTIVATION...shed pounds for dollars

or,

Put the money where the mouth is...

There are quite a few websites, blogs, etc where people are losing weight

for charity.  Some gather a group and then each person goes out and

gets pledges...a dollar (or change)amount for ounces or pounds lost.  It's

kind of like a walk-a-thon or "spell-a-thon" that kids do at school.

We might find it hard to lose weight just for ourselves.   But, if it's

...for a greater cause,

then, it might stir more motivation.  Another thing... is that there would

be a definite date to start, and a definite goal date.  We'd have to be

accountable to a "scale" to get the $$ for the charity.  HERE is a link

 to some simple steps and ideas for Charity/weightloss motivation.

Speaking of Charity,

...this isn't for weightloss...but, it is

... for a GOOD CAUSE.

But, I can tell ya, it's gonna be FUN!

There's gonna be lots of great PRIZES!

And, I promise you will feel the great

warm fuzzies come over you because

you'd be doing something wonderful

...for others

Ruby's Report

Treadmill - 6 days (5 days-2 miles or more, 1-day @3miles).  I've found (at least

                   according to the treadmill info) that longer time burns more calories than

                   doing the same distance faster.  Incline...even if I go slow...is better than

                   same distance with no incline.  I've noticed a difference in my pants fit

                   since I started the incline 4 weeks ago. 

Food -  doing much better with water, eating more veggies, cutting down portions

               a bit

Weight(loss?) - down 1.4 this week ...wahoo!
