Yesterday was the final weigh-in for Tammy’s Make A Change Challenge. I didn’t win the challenge. I didn’t even end up with a net loss. But I did learn that I can still eat a decent amount of food and not really gain if I do the higher intensity workout on my treadmill. So that will be the plan. At least two good treadmill workouts a week, and I may even be inspired to do another 5K. The kids have been nagging me about it, and I’ve actually been thinking about it. The last 5K Youngest Son ran, they had pizza and beer for the runners! The one before, they had these yummy fat breakfast rolls stuffed with chicken or beef. The races I ran, all they usually had was water and fruit!
Food! My major motivator. I’ll be sure to fill you all in on the details if I do run another race, or if my high-intensity workouts ever do result in an actual weight loss. Stay tuned! 
Oh, man, I can relate only too well. Food is my main motivator. I’ll go on a 10 mile bike ride just so I can eat a friggin’ ice cream cone.
Yep. Why else would anyone exercise?
Hey, nice post, really well written. You should post more about this.

LOL – I was a miserable failure at Tammy’s challenge. I used to be so motivated! Maybe I need to think of ice cream cones…
I’ve been taking a product called Acai Berry Blast Which has helped me lose 10 pounds over the last 3 months. Acai is a definately a powerful Natural Fruit. I saw it advertised on Oprah and had to give it a try. I know at the moment they are offering free trials, so you can get a free bottle. You have to pay for shipping though.
