I'VE GOT THE LEAD

I've got a 5 point lead. Up until today she had the lead. It took me four days to get the lead. I have to fight to keep it though. It's going to be hard today because of the rain. I am going to be regulated to my elliptical and I don't like doing it for long periods of time. I may have to split my time up. We'll see how far I get on it. I have a late class so I'll have to watch water as well because I tend to have to go to the bathroom every five minutes after drinking alot. I'm bound and determined to win the first month though. I never saw my self as a competitor in anything. Heck, I used to be the type to not win on purpose because I didn't want to see the other person look sad when they lost. I didn't mind losing because I like seeing others happy. In this situation though, it's a win win. I win my health regardless of whether I win the challenge. I will win the challenge though. It pushes me to do more than what I was. I mean a week ago I could easily talk myself out of exercising and this week I can't talk myself out of it. I WILL NOT SUBTRACT POINTS!!!!! LOL!!!!! It's helping her as well. She's doing more now for the same reason. I want her to work hard because it makes me work harder. It's a great thing. I love this so much. I haven't been this excited in a long time. I made rules for October already and they are a lot tougher than this month's rules. It has to get tougher because losing the weight won't be easier. We'll be running around the block by next spring. LOL!!!
