Fat and Skinny

Fat and Skinny had a race, up and down the pillow case, Fat fell down and Skinny won the race..

I think my grandmother first told me that little tidbit.  Well 8 weeks ago my studio partner and I  were asked by Carla to enter this competition.  I am the skinny one and well my partner is the heavy one.  At first I wasn't going to enter because I was scheduled for rotator cuff surgery for my torn rotator cuff  but I decided to postpone it till after the competition.  I knew going into it I couldn't win due to my injury and couldn't do half of the exercises without extreme pain.  But after my studio mate decided to enter I thought I'd do it along side him to keep him in the game.  I have seen great results in both him and I in the last few weeks.  He has lost over 20lbs and can do more than one pull up now, I think.  I am really proud of his determination to stay on the diet plan and hit all his work outs.  I haven't been the best at the diet but I didn't have all that weight to lose, my gaol was to gain so I felt like I could be a little more liberal on the diet.  Well it's one week left and he expects to lose another 10 by the end and I expect to kick his ass.  The after photos will be amazing I'm sure for everyone. Thanks again to everyone involved in the challenge especially Carla for all your hard work on this.  Hope you like the results.  Now finally I can go get this shoulder fixed.. ouch...
