Put your own health on the "to do" list and sign up for The Biggest Loser Mom Competition

For me the beginning of the school year always feels like the beginning of the new year. One could argue being a Red Sea Pedestrian has a lot to do with it, and I agree, but even if it weren't so, January 1st still wouldn't hit my sweet spot for personal introspection and sense of renewal.

I am not inspired to "begin again" in January. January 1st feels more like an interruption. I've never been a fan of new year's resolutions. I mean why bother making a resolution when, at least to me, the year is already half-way over? As the new school year begins, I am inspired to make a change. And so is Sarah.

Maybe you are too?

I'm convinced jump starting in January -unless you live in a tropical clime- is a step by step plan for failure. Those of us who may be looking for any excuse to avoid a sojourn to the gym or grocery store use inclement weather to blame for cancelling our plan to obtain fresh produce. Kids hope and pray for a snow day to shut down school. We hope and pray the snow day will shut down the gym! Utterly counterproductive and self defeating. Let's not do it that way again.

If you would like get in healthier condition, then please consider joining Sarah and me in September. It's time to put your own overall health on the "to do" list. Why wait until January when you can do it now?

The contest begins September 1st and ends October 15th. Details can be found here.
