The One with A Karaoke Forfeit

So, a friend of mine and I have decided to invest in a small wager regarding weight loss goals.

The challenge!

Lose 20 lbs by February 10, 2012.

The means!

Really, however you want. I'm doing boot camp and the food fight that goes along with boot camp, which basically is paleo/whole foods/sugar detox.

The prize upon winning!

Smaller ass. *lol*

The forfeit upon losing!

Well now. Isn't this where it gets interesting? Since I refused to allow money or food to be the basis of the wager, we had to get creative and go with a little old fashioned public humiliation. And what better way to publicly humiliate yourself in a socially accepted fashion than to sing karaoke.

Bwahahaha.

If I lose, I'll even take video and share - with anyone else who jumps on board the challenge. :D

(If you lose, I expect to either be there when you sing, or get video. :)

2012 Challenges

I asked for challenges and I got some. Some are fun and kooky. Some are serious and pointed. Some are technically possible, but we shall see...

* I would like you to say "no" at least once a month to things that you normally agree to out of guilt or sense of responsibility. I want you to write each month about your "no" and how the world kept turning after all. Just say no!!!!

* Visit Huntsville sometime! Maybe when R will be here - June maybe?

* I did the 3 day walk for susan g komen for my resolution last year!

* lol I think you already know what I'm going to challenge you with. I challenge you to try the Paleo/Primal Blueprint for a month.

* Challenge Accepted. We'll talk later

* I challenge you to hope...

* I challenge you to be optimistic and to kick ass while doing it! Don't take shit because you think you should... guilt gets you nowhere, hon! I, better than most, know how hard it is to stand up and give something stressful a great big "F-U"!

* I agree with the post directly above. Let go of guilt and be a little selfish. Go after what YOU want and don't let other people distract you or talk you out of it ;) Life's too

* Do something you've been dreaming of and never took the time money or energy to accomplish. And when you finish... Do a little dance to celebrate!!

* Run to the top of Stone Mountain. Is that a thing people can do? I get the impression that hiking it isn't that much of a challenge. I could be wrong, though!

* Don't speak or make any vocal sounds for an entire weekend--that means Friday afternoon through Sunday!

In terms of a writing challenge I would be interested to see you take on a modernization of the older stories in literature (Frankenstein, for example) being framed as a series of letters. There are so many varied forms of communication these days, even among the entirely-text forms of communicating, and only a few pieces of media have made use of the modern forms as a narrative framing device.

* Go an entire day where all the food you eat contains bananas (or another fruit if you don't like/eat bananas). :).

* Go six months without soda or any carbonated energy drinks.

If anyone wants to add to the challenge, it's open for a while longer. :)
