So it begins…

A new year, and another chance to resolve to lose weight, eat better, get fit.

This year I have signed up for the Discovery Health 2006 Body Challenge. From the FAQ:

The Discovery Health Channel’s National Body Challenge is a FREE eight-week, comprehensive fitness and weight-loss challenge that provides the tools and inspiration, online and on television, to get in shape, shed extra pounds and adopt a healthier lifestyle.

The Challenge begins on Jan. 14, 2006, and continues for eight weeks, ending on March 11, 2006.

All registered National Body Challenge participants will receive access to our online customized meal plan, a personalized activity and weight tracker, extensive information from doctors and health and fitness experts, a free eight-week membership to Bally Total Fitness*, online recipes, special savings from Discovery Channel Stores and more.

We even have a “team” from the West Side Moms.

What’s my goal? To weigh 125 and/or drop 2″ from my squishy 21 month-post-partum belly. Ideally, I want to wear my dark blue Express jeans without my belly hanging over.

How will I do it? Calorie counting, rock climbing, Tae Bo and running outside when the weather is nice.
