I first started this challenge because I wanted something to keep me accountable. I thought that if there was a team that I would be letting down then I’d be more dedicated to sticking to my plan. And I defiantly have been. I want to be able to help my team earn the most points and I want to make sure that I lose weight also. I have loved this challenge because of that. I like that someone else is telling me what I need to do everyday. I like that I have someone else I need to be accountable to. I like that I don't have to be in control.

But being at the half way point has started to make me nervous. It’s opened up a whole bunch of questions. What is going to happen once the challenge is over? Will I still be as motivated to eat healthy and exercise? Will I still exercise for as long as I been? It has made me realize that I need to find my own motivation. I need something that will sustain past this challenge. I’m not sure what it is that will keep me motivated. But I know that I’m going to start looking for whatever it is that will keep my going. I don’t want to backslide when this challenge is over and I’m going do everything I can to make sure that doesn’t happen.
