Sunday I went hiking with my sisters. My older Sister has problems with maintaining a healthy weight, though not so severe a problem as I do. We decided we would wager $50, whoever loses the most weight wins. Well, we decided that wasn’t enough motivation so we came up with the idea of giving $50 to somebody we both hated. That somebody shall remain nameless for the time being. The more important thing is, it’s working. It’s totally brilliant. I can’t stand the thought of this person getting my $50 and neither can she. It’s motivating me. Driving me.

I was sick today, and probably tomorrow. But I can’t wait to get better. I keep thinking about having to give away that money. I don’t want to. I won’t do it. I’m going to do it, I’m going to lose that weight!
