Week One

I finished my first week and things went exceptionally well. I feel welcomed and happy to be there. There will be a lot of work to do but I am excited about that too. If every week goes like the first week then I will be thrilled!

And not only did it start off well but I joined a weight loss contest. Everyone employee that wants to enter puts $100 into the pot. You then have 8 weeks to lose 5% of your body weight. If you do not lose 5% of your body weight then you forfeit your $100. If you do lose 5% of your body weight then you get your $100 plus your share of the forfeited pot. So example last time 6 people joined. 3 lost the weight and 3 did not, so the forfeited pot was $300. Divided by the 3 winners means those that lost got their $100 back and an additional $100 - OMG! I cannot afford to lose 100 bucks so I am excited as I know I will do what I need to do to get my money back which will intern help me toward my weight loss goal! Any extra money is just icing on the cake - please excuse the high calorie metaphor.
