my work currently has a "Biggest Winner" challenge going on. It started monday. It ends the first monday in April. the buy in is $30. 3rd place wins back their buy-in, 2nd place doubles their buy in, and 1st place takes the rest.

i joined it. i also joined weight watchers online and started doing all the keep-track stuff.

i had a doctor's appointment in december. the doc put me on high blood pressure medicine. i'm 26. i weigh 300 pounds. i have some serious changes i need to make in my lifestyle.

basically, i've been irresponsible with my health. i used to go cross country skiing all the time, i used to hike mountains all the time. i haven't been on a serious ski workout for years. 2010 closed as the second year i never climbed a mountain.

this is going to be a lot of work. but i've reached the point where i have to stop procrastinating about this.

please help me out on this - if we're ever out to lunch or dinner or something, remind me i have to be wise about what i choose to eat. i can't do this alone.
