So last week I flew back home to go on a fishing trip in Canada. During the fishing trip and on the drive home, I heard my dad joking about "not starting his diet yet," which I found a little odd and had written off as just a joke. I did have a couple days left at home after we had gotten back from the trip and starting thinking about a wager I could make with my dad to make a little money and lose some weight. Monday, June 14th, I challenged my father to a weight loss challenge. After some discussion and crunching of numbers we came with the following wager:
Highest percent weight loss in 6 months (December 14, 2010) wins $500. I would spot him 5%.
My weigh-in weight (shitty digital scale at parents): 303
My weigh-in weight (nice digital scale at parents): 290
My dad's weigh-in weight (same shitty digital scale): 242
I decided to start this blog to keep myself motivated, on track, and accountable.
I plan to go into more depth on my plan to win, my diet & exercise each day, and an updated weight each week. Stay tuned...
