Game ON!

Starting tomorrow, I am starting a contest called the "Castaneda 25 Challenge", it is a family event against my brother Steve and myself. I was thinking that we both need some extra motivation, and since he and I are both competitive....I thought hey, let's do this together. We officially start tomorrow but our first day of weigh in is Friday. We will weigh, measure, and I think maybe take pictures of each other every Friday. We are trying to loose 25lbs by Christmas day (we will have to do body percentage, but 25lbs is our goal). Our final weigh-in will be on Christmas Day (25th) since we will be together for Christmas. The winner has to take the other to a MU Tiger game and have bragging rights! I am super excited he is on board with me, even though he is calling me the enemy now. I guess time will tell. I plan to post updates on here during this. I am ready to finally kick my brother's booty!

Be Inspired

In life, it seems that most people are looking to be inspired. I like many others just want to be inspired. I did not think that I could be an inspiration to anyone else, then I thought REALLY says who? I want to be proud of something that I have done. I see so many magazines, books, people around me, and TV shows that give me inspiration. I do not know but deep down in my soul, I too want to be an inspiration. I am a HUGE competitor when it comes to games, but for some reason I can't beat the one person that matters the most...ME! I have had a great success so far from my original time of truly starting to lose weight, but it is not enough. My heaviest weight was 330lbs! That was when I first went to Weight Watchers in 2002. I now weigh 285lbs, but again it is not where I want to be. I want (and will) loose 100lbs, more. This will put me at my weight in High School. That is my first weight goal; the second goal is 130lbs. I have a lot of work to do and I am ready and will do whatever it takes to BE AN INSPIRATION to others, who also struggle with this same issue. So, today ask you, what inspires you? Then, I want you to ask yourself, what are you going to do to funnel that? Go on...I KNOW YOU CAN!
