We Won....


We Won...Well Sort Of
It Depends On Who You Ask!
The Ultima Gym And Fitness
90-Day Body Challenge Awards were held Wednesday Night.
Ron and I lost the most weight
of anyone in the contest!!!!
We Are The Winners...
Right????
Nope.....
We Are Still Scratching Our Heads....
Ron lost 30 pounds
Shauna (me) lost 26.5 pounds
We also wrote awesome Essays (required)
and
Lost a great deal of body fat (required)
and
Our "After" Photos and Measurements are dramatic.(required)
Soooooo Allow Me To Whine A Little.....
You can imagine the shock when neither of us received a phone call during the day on Wednesday to "make sure" we were attending the Party at the Gym that evening. That is how you know you are one of the winners..you don't know what, but you know you had better be there to receive your prize, have your photos taken, etc
We were planning to be at the Party and headed over to the gym. At this point we knew we were not one of the finalists and were ready to be there to celebrate with all the Contestants from the 90 Day Body Challenge
This was our thought.... until the 3rd place winner was announced,
and then we were a little confused.
With each winner, we were more than a little confused.
The 3rd place person was announced.....
20 pounds lost
(at that point, I thought.. oh, my one of us is a winner here and we did not get a phone call-I know I am sounding prideful here)
The 2nd Place Winner was announced.....
14 Pounds lost
(What?!?!?)
The 1st Place Winner Was Announced.....
20 Pounds lost....
What?!?!?!?!
With each weight loss, they announced the fat loss, also. Nothing dramatic.
Mmmmmm
What about Ron?????
He lost 30 pounds!!!!! His gut is gone!!! He has no butt!!!!! His face is getting thin!!!!
He looks FABULOUS!!!
I went in to the gym today and read the Essays posted from each winner...nothing spectacular..nothing over-the-top.....
Checked their body fat weight-loss statistics...nothing spectacular...
What is spectacular????
WE WON OUR HEALTH BACK!!
WE ARE WINNERS!!!!!
At so many levels, we are winners. We are both half way to were we want to be and would not have pushed so hard without this 90 day goal, I am convinced.
It was and is a great experience, Cash prize or not. Yes, The Cash would have been great, but the changes we have made and continue to make, give us so much to feel like winners about!!!!
Now, I have to be careful not to eat my way through Utah next week!!!
There is that whole Mother Of The Groom-Must Look Nice Event Coming Up!!!

You most definately are the winners and...ask the gym why the other people were awarded the "win".
You both look fabulous and you feel so good so...THAT is what matters.
Congratulations!!
