The big winner

I found out yesterday that I won the Low Car Diet challenge. I am so excited and can't believe that I won :) It just shows that hard work and dedication sure do pay off. The big prize I won is a folding bicycle that unfortunately I am too short to ride. I tried twice! I think that I am going to sell the bike on Craigs List and use the money to buy a bike that I can actually ride. I also won $100 to Berry Chill, $100 to zip car, a free yoga outfit and mat from Lululemon, $50 to lettuce entertain you, another free month at Equinox and a free spa treatment at J. Gordon Salon. It amazes me how this experience that has changed my life has also given me so many fantastic prizes! They told me yesterday that my blogs actually broke the website one day because I wrote so much. That isn't quite surprising seeing as I always have a lot to say. I think that blogging is one of the things that helped me win and I plan on keeping it up.

I am excited to continue at Equinox for another month and hopefully I am able to continue with my current level of dedication to the gym. I think one of the things that will keep me motivated is the Bucktown 5k in 7 weeks. I signed up for it and hope to achieve my goal of completing it in under 45 minutes.

Speaking of running, it is time for me to go to the gym.

  1. Hi! Congrats on winning the Challenge! I was linked to your blog thru Berry Chill's twitter. What kind of folding bike did you win? (brand/model) I have a nice bike (specialized brand) that I would love to trade if you're interested or if not, how much are you going to sell it for? You can email me at: kbest@westwoodlife.org

    Thanks,
    Kieley B.

  2. I finally figured out how to do this. Now you'll have to keep blogging so that I can comment.
