Throughout the Genghis Grill Health Kwest, I've been posting status updates of my workouts and eating habits to chronicle my efforts to lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle. Many of you have seen pictures of my cardio machine readouts showing the calories burned for my various sessions. I've been working out almost exclusively at Snap Fitness in Murfreesboro, a local 24/7 gym located only a mile from my home. I have to say, matching a great workout with the healthy food at Genghis Grill has been an integral part of my weight loss journey.
In the year or so that I've been a member at Snap Fitness, my dedication has fluctuated. I'll spend a few weeks in a routine, then drop off for a few months. However, during this Health Kwest, I've spent over 90% of the days at Snap Fitness, usually multiple times per day. Any days NOT spent in the gym were due to recovery reasons, not laziness, and I performed other exercises instead.
During my time in the gym, I became aware of a weight loss contest Snap Fitness was starting. The winner with the highest percentage of weight loss would receive three free months of gym membership. This week, the winners were announced, and out of almost 15 other contestants I lost the largest percentage of weight and was announced as the winner! I was surprised, as this 8-week challenge was during my slowest weight loss of the Health Kwest, and started after I had already lost what I considered a significant amount of weight.
This is just an added bonus of losing weight - more encouragement and motivation to keep going and pushing forward. I'm making the most of every opportunity and changing my life for the best.
