So remember when I told you I joined “Fit Club” at work? Well, it certainly paid off! Not only did I win $25 in one of the monthly drawings, but today I found out that I won first place, which comes with a $250 prize! Since I only paid $10 to join I’m ahead $265. Now that’s what I call motivation. 🙂

I was below my starting weight at each monthly weigh in – granted some months it wasn’t by much, but the fact that overall I lost weight is pretty satisfying. Since its kept me accountable so far, I’ve decided to keep going and have already signed up for the next 6 month round. Hopefully it helps me continue making healthy choices when the holidays roll around.

Normally I’d use my prize money to treat myself to something special, but since I just got back from traveling on vacation, where I bought lots of treasures including some awesome finds at a huge “junk show” that I’ll be sharing those very soon, I’m pretty sure it will go to paying off all that fun. But that’s still a huge win in my book!

What do you do to stay motivated to make healthy choices? Do you find you do better with the support of a team or are you better off going solo? Share your successes in case they might work for others too!
