Well its time for the weekly update. This week did not go as expected in the Biggest Winner Program. Sunday night I was pumped up to exercise again for the week. I lost ten pounds during week one. I wanted to start strong and come away with a 6-7 pound weight loss. Monday was the beginning of the week. Before and halfway through the workout I felt like this:
I thought I was unstoppable. I went to pick up a weight bar and do some sort of workout. As I bent over I heard a pop in my back. I felt the worst pain in the world.
I hurt my lower back on monday and I can tell you I did not feel for like Superman for the rest of the week. I felt more like this:
I was down and out for the next several days. I could not get out of bed and I could not walk. It was not a fun week. Today is Sunday and my back is finally getting better. I went to workout on Thursday and Friday. My back survived two easy workouts. Even though I did not workout as much , I still lost four pounds this week. I attribute this weight loss to healthy eating. I wanted so much to eat some comfort food like go to a buffet or eat a big burger with fries. I decided the only way to lose weight this week was to eat right and that's what I did.
Saturday was the challenge for the competing teams. It was a tough challenge. It involved each team figuring out riddles and then racing from building to building on campus. It was not easy because the campus of BYU-Idaho is so hilly. Here is a map of our journey:
Alas, we did our best as a team. We came in last. But I was proud of the effort my team put in. We did the best we could and thats all anybody can ask. I mean our motto is WE LOSE TO WIN! I think its fitting that we came in last. In the end we will all be winners in this challenge we call life.
