(yes, the picture is really the inside of Goody's...MMmmm)
BUT....
...let's be frank, a few of us have been talking and feel like we are starting to turn into goodies - that thick peanutbutter fudge, squishy green and white frogs, oh so soft roasted marshmellow jelly bellies, or just flat out gooey carmel corn.
Thus, for all those interested participants, we're going to go on a "Feel Great in Only 8" program - it's only 8 weeks before we step in that grand ol' shop named Goody's. This is a program for not only those that would like to lose weight, but all those who just want to try and improve their health....so basically I'm saying everyone in the family should enroll. Ja?
Some may wonder what the "Feel Great in Only 8" program is, and I'm here to tell you. Well, kind of. I've got some ideas, I've talked to others who have ideas about stuff, so we're just going to start with those ideas and then take any as they come and keep working to improve our health for just a short 8 weeks!
Everyone who wants to participate must do the following 2 things:
1. Report a single health statistic every Monday. For most, this will likely be weight lost. For others, this could be weight gained, blood pressure dropped, # of times you brushed your teeth, # of times you exercised, whatever you'd like really. This is purely so we all feel some level of accountability. Just drop me an email each Monday and we'll figure out some tasteful method of reporting.
2. Agree to follow the weekly challenges. To assist in improving our health statistics, we will have weekly challenges. The weekly challenges will be posted on the blog the Friday before (challenge beginning the next Monday). Thus, if you need to get anything or prepare for it, you will have time over the weekend. I will be accepting any suggestions for challenges, but until I receive some they'll be whatever I want them to be:) (The weekly challenges will be posted on the side of the blog, week's 1 is already posted).
In closing, to pledge your participation to the "Feel Great in Only 8" program you must leave a comment that consists of your own personal mission statement for the eight week program.
So folks, let's get motivated! We're only talking 8 weeks folks. 8 measley weeks. So let's work hard for just 56 days!!!
Ps. I will be giving all of you editor access if you would ever like to treat us with tips you have, great recipes, or just for a good laugh.

I need to do this. Thanks, Les, for setting it up. The water drinking will be hard, but I'll try it. Today I'm giving blood, so maybe I'll loose some weight doing that!
I, Meredith Anne Winter, pledge to participate in the "Feel Great in Only 8" thingy. My goals are to work out at least 3 times a week and eat healthier (which means eating fruits and veggies every day). I'll get more specific on my own goal sheet but for now I'm hoping these goals will make me happier, healthier, and help me to get a better sleep at night (which I have not been getting).
Yours Truly,
Mere
I pledge to work out at least 3 days/week plus at least one day of ball or golf or tennis. Plus I pledge to start brushing my teeth at night too, as well as in the morning.
I, Trevor Winn, pledge to do whatever challenges my beautiful wife comes up with each week. I will work on my tennis game twice a week in order to beat Evan in Sunriver. I will not get any candy bars at gas stations when I fill up (my vice). And I will lift 3 times a week.
I will also encourage Lesley to brush her teeth at night.
I, Brandon Winter, pledge to work out on our Chuck Norris Total Gym 3 times per week, play with tennis pro Mere at least 2 times per week, and not eat after 10 pm.
I, Lesley Jean Carlile Winn, pledge to play tennis with my husband so he can fulfull his goal and not get mad that he beats me really bad every time we play now. That is because I have decided never to get angry again. I also pledge to eat half as much as a normally would as well as come up with killer challenges for all of you each week.
Lesley
ps. brushing my teeth at night is so hard
