I'm a Part of the "Flabulous 8"

Remember when I mentioned that I was applying to become a participant on the Flab to Flab weight loss challenge? Well they announced the official 8 contestants and I have been chosen to be one of them!

The contests officially begins on Monday so I have tonight and tomorrow to eat whatever I want. To be fair, I can still eat whatever I want, but now prizes, pride, glory and internet fame are involved. And y'all know how badly I crave attention. Almost as badly as I'm going to be craving Pepsi for the next eight weeks.

Seriously. It might get violent.

I'm putting my husband, dog and cat's lives on the lines by the very thought of taking caffeine out of this house.

But I'm determined to make this work. I need this. I need to be healthy. I need to be motivated and find myself again. I need to prepare my body for the future.

While only 8 contestants were chosen this is only round one of Flab to Fab Challenge. In 8 weeks, after one of us is chosen as the winner, the contest starts all over again. It's Biggest Loser: Blogger Style! So head over to the website and follow, subscribe and be sure to leave lots of comments to keep us contestants motivated, and don't forget to choose your favourite contestant (that would be me, by the way).

So stay tuned and see how horrible this will be for me (despite being worth it in the end). I'll be extra whiny, bitchy and possibly more amusing over the next eight weeks. Also, you'll be able to see the dreaded before pics I took a few weeks ago but refused to post them here. Fab to Flab required them.

Wish me luck y'all!

PS: Any suggestions for some uplifting music to add to my playlist? Cause really there's only so many days I can leave "Defying Gravity" on repeat.
