Update: I'm back from the meeting, and it went GREAT!!! Loved all the ladies, they were so nice, and I felt so welcome. Tara-Dawn is super friendly, and so encouraging, and most of all the trainer I was matched up with is FANTASTIC, and just what I need to kick me in the ass!! Tomorrow night at 8:30, when I'd much rather be at home on my couch, I'll be at the gym!
------------------------------------------------------
Today is the start of the new me. And I'm scared to death. I've always been up and down in weight for all of my adult life, actually, my whole life come to think of it.

And I've decided to change that.

I'm sure you've all heard of the Biggest Loser on TV, well, I'm doing something similar. But on the Radio. I wasn't sure if I was going to blog this or not, but I thought with more people in my corner, I'll have more encouragement to win this bloody thing, and become the best me ever.

I'm going to meet the other contestants in about an hour, as well as meet my personal trainer, and get all of my meal plans etc.

Scary stuff.

So basically what happens is for the next 8 weeks starting this Friday, I'll be weighed in on air (yikes) with all of the other contestants. Who ever wins the most, wins.

I want to win. I will win. I don't like losing, and this is why I think this contest is the PERFECT thing to get my ass in gear.

But, this contest is only for 8 weeks, so I've got a personal goal outside of this contest.

I'm going to loose 75lbs by my 30th Birthday. Yes, that's a lot of weight, and yes, I'm embarrassed having typed it.. No it's not an unreasonable goal (my trainer told me so).

On the left hand column of my blog, you'll notice a count down timer. I'm counting down to my Birthday, May 6th for those of you who don't know me. And on that day, Nick will be taking me out somewhere fancy (have no idea where, so if you have suggestions for him, please comment) and I will be wearing a new black dress, that I will look fantastic in. Preferably a Nicole Miller one, but hey I'm not pushing it.

So, go get your TEAM NICOLE shirts ready, and cheer me on, because I WILL WIN

ps. and I'd just like to mention I haven't had a cup of coffee today. This alone is something amazing to me. Coffee is like air as far as I'm concerned. Except It's now replaced with Green Tea. Coffee will be reserved for 'special treats'
