This is a fantastic post and a reminder to all of us as to how we should be viewing this adventure: http://community.the-signal.com/blogs/detail/2092

It was really cool to see so many of the Summer Slimdown contestants at Results Fitness this morning… I think I counted 6 of us.

My trainer, Mike, asked me last week what my plan was after the nine weeks are over. My first, gut reaction was that I won’t be quitting. I haven’t figured out what that exactly means just yet, but I hope to have that figured out over the next four to five weeks.

I’ve learned so much from this process already. I want to take my knowledge, and newly found appreciation for healthy eating, and make a serious attempt to changing my diet and exercise habits beyond these nine weeks.
