About 10 years ago, I was big-time into Mary Kay. At the national convention each year, the National Sale's Directors, these super-cute, usually mature, perfectly made-up, and decked out in all kinds of jewels and their special, elite wardrobe reserved only for them would get into a line across the convention stage, link arms, and do low kicks as they sang "It's not where you start, it's where you finish..." I loved that. It was so cute. I'm sure they still do it. That is one of the fond memories I carried away from my time in Mary Kay, and it's also a nice little cliché that I use to remind and encourage myself in many areas of life.
I decided to do another WLW
(Weight Loss Wars) competition. Just when I thought money couldn't motivate me anymore, the prize structure got me kind of hyped! 60% to 1st place, 30% to 2nd place, and 10% to the third place winner (based on % lost). So, our first weigh in pic was due today. There's usually a window, but I got an email saying they were due today. So, I'm using that weigh-in pic for the blog too. Now, in the spirit of full-disclosure, I was done eating and drinking for the day when I read the email that said the pic was due today, meaning the number would probably be a couple of pounds lower if I'd weighed myself first thing in the morning.
So, this is where I'm starting. It's not where you start, it's where you finish!
