Turkey Day Challenge

Let's spice things up around here!  What do you say?!?  A mini challenge!!  Since this is impromptu, of course you don't have to join in.  But, I think it'll be fun and the prize is going to be totally worth it.

Here's how this is going to roll.  First we'll have a weigh-in tomorrow morning.  Yes, I know, short notice, so sorry.  There won't be any penalty from this weigh-in, i.e., no money due.  It'll be the baseline weight just for this mini challenge.  And, we'll still have our normal weigh-in on Saturday, keeping up with the competition as a whole.

Now, this mini competition will run for 2 weeks, until the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  Did you know that the Saturday before Thanksgiving marks the half-way point of our 14 weeks??  Scary!  I know that I certainly am not on track to hit my half-way goal!!  Yikes!   Ok, back to business.  So, for the mini competition we will weigh-in again on the 23rd.  (That's the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.)

Let's summarize.  There will be two weigh-ins.  One tomorrow-a baseline.  One on the 23rd marking the end of the mini competition.  Simple as that.  Now for the prize!!!  I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.  If not, read on.  If so, read on anyway!!  Whomever has lost the highest percentage of their weight between those 2 weeks will have IMMUNITY on the Saturday weigh-in after Thanksgiving!!!!  Did you read that right?!?!  I'm talking Survivor here people!  You will be able to stuff your face with turkey, stuffing, potatoes, green beans, corn, rolls, pumpkin pie, cranberry salad, sweet potatotes with those little, perfectly toasted marshmallows on top, anything your little heart wants and you will have NO penalty when you gain a few pounds for Saturday's weigh-in!  You will still have to weigh-in, don't get me wrong.  You just will owe nothing!  I know, exciting!!

Ok, so, if you're going to play just send me your weight like we always do.  If you have any questions, as always, feel free to ask!  If this works out well and we have fun with it, we'll do it again around Christmas!

Now, for some reason I'm craving me some good, home cooked comfort food...
