This contest is so much bigger than who wins. I entered this contest knowing my team would not win.
First of all, I know my dad. :)
Secondly, my partner, Lyss-my beautiful, lovely sister-- is in college. I think she's got it harder than anyone else in this contest as far as surroundings go. Who ever got 7 hours of sleep in college? I could probably count on one hand the number of times I did.
So, we knew, going in this together, that every week week our scores would not be super high. We knew that. We paid our dues knowing that.
But it has been worth it.
I feel better.
I look better.
No, I will not win the money.
But, things are better. I've learned about myself. I've made mistakes. I've questioned my habits and asked "WHY?" so many times. I've come out of this a winner-- just like Lyss said. I'm not winning any money, but I've won.
Being accountable to a group has saved me from myself a number of times.
I have won.
I think we've all won.
Nobody is perfect, it's not meant to be that way.
I love this quote:
What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you, can be stepping stones to victory, if you remain determined.
Come on guys, don't give up now! Thanks to you all for all your great posts and inspiration.
My score this week- 650. Bad score, but I learned a lot about myself this week! So, I count that as a WIN!
