Learn something new, then teach someone.

Who ever thought I would be inspired by a dollar store? Not I thats for sure... Usually I would like to admit I don't even walk into a dollar store. However, that is not the case I am all about a deal. Too bad they don't sell knock off prada bags. Wishful thinking I suppose.

Anyways the weigh to win challenge to lose weight in six months starts tomorrow. This is a weight loss challenge at work, we will be competing amongst other stores and is a nation wide thing for our company. This is something I am extremely excited about. Not to mention something I take serious. I was asked to do this, so why not add it to the list of things I want to do. I mean it's not like I have a lot of free time when I am constantly working. When I am not at work, I am still constantly working, trying to get things together for the start of my photography business. Kelly Lynne Photography <---- Remember that. Yes I am promoting myself. This is my blog and I can do what I want =)

Wow, do I constantly get off track or what? Anyways, since its the new year I decided to not be so selfish and share the wealth of weight loss. No I am kidding, I am really excited to share what I know to others. Unfortunately, I don't believe all the team members are serious. The chances of all 11 of them sticking to it are quite slim. Hey don't get on me for not having the motivation for them, I do. They just have to be willing to put in the work, and has proven stats show, only a few will make it to the end. However, I am going to try and try to motivate them as much as I can. I won't lose faith in them, I just hope they don't lose faith in themselves.

Just call me the next Jillian Michaels. As much as I adore Bob Harper and want to be nice and gentle like him, I have an inner Jillian.

For example I am sitting in the break room next to one of the people who joined my team. Eating vanilla cream filled cookies. Hmmmm I don't think so. I took the package out of his hand, and read the NI on the back. Then proceeded to walk over to the trash, and placed into the garbage can. That is what they signed up for. For the next 6 months =)

It took my entire Saturday to complete all my starter kits I made for each individual. Take a sneak peak.

Free resources! (I wish these were handed to me when I first started) and my own personal quick tips that I have personally learned over the last year. 

Kelly's Kitchen Staples, I am promoting the new season of the BL(I should get some kind of reimburstment for this), and Lists of good sources of Proteins, and Complex and Fibrous carbs.

My completed packet. With were they are going to keep track of their weight and lbs lost or gained each week. And yes I supplied them all with a pack of extra gum to reduce cravings. 

This thing took all freaking day! It doesn't seem like it, but it is really difficult to make straight lines without a yard stick as a straight edge! Anyways, this is will track each week if they have lost or gained. Hopefully this being on display will hold them accountable! 

And thats how I spent my New Years woo woo!

In other news, I am on day 8 of 20 of the NO simple carbs in my diet. I have been doing extremely well. I haven't purposely injured anyone yet, so I am going to take that as a good sign. 12 more days to go, then I will be able to eat bread! (whole grains of course!) and I will be sailing off to sea. Which reminds me I probably should go to the mall today. I desperately need to buy luggage. I am such a procrastinator! Is it too late to add a New Years resolution/goal to my list? Because I am. Not allowed to procrastinate....oh and a side note another new years goal I am adding to the list is to marry into the Kardashian family. The only way I see that happening is to marry:

Yep, Rob Kardashian. I'll even be okay with the fact he has his ex-girlfriends name tattooed on his ribs. Fine by me, but hey if the name fits: Kelly Kardashian, it fits well with Kourtney, Kim, Khole, Kendall, and Kylie =)

Back to realistic resolutions, (Not that marrying Rob is unrealistic, I just don't think either one of us have the time right now. I was more so speaking of not procrastinating because I don't think that one is too realistic.)

My main goal this year (other than losing the rest of the weight) is to become a runner. Tomorrow I am starting my 5k training. I was all excited thinking Pittsburgh of all cities would have some kind of shamrock race. No! Not a single shamrock race. WTF PITTSBURGH, wtf!....So I am going to train to train. There is one in February, but who likes February. The month could be taken off the calendar year and I really don't think anyone would even miss it? I mean it only has 28 days, on occasion 29. What is it good for? 

A fellow runner (I speak like I am a runner and I haven't even started yet.) Stephanie is having a zensah give away. You can find her give away and her awesome blog by clicking here!

Peace, <3, & =)
