8 Week Challenge

Hey all! I'm doing an 8 week weight loss challenge!

I found out there is a big paranormal convention happening in September. There are big named paranormal authors, and even one of the stars from a favorite paranormal reality show of mine (on the Syfy channel) is going to be there. There is going to be a paranormal investigation, a mixer with the guests of honor, and other stuff. So I figured it would be fun to go. I am big into the paranormal. I do paranormal research, I've been writing a book about the paranormal, I've done paranormal investigations, so I figure it would be fun to go to. And since it's on the way home... why not?

Low and behold, I have to be out of town in September, and the convention starts the day I'm headed home... and it's actually along the way. So I bought tickets and am going to make a stop over at the convention. I figured that gave me a good opportunity to challenge myself to get over this plateau I've hit. I really want to lose some weight before the convention cause I would like to buy a new outfit for the guest of honor mixer.

My goal is to lose at least 2 lbs a week in 8 weeks which would be 16lbs. I'd love to lose more than that... but I figured with the ups and downs I've had in the last few months... 2 lbs a week would be a realistic goal, and if I do better one week, great.

I started off strong. I walked 1.3 miles today (would have been more but for the heat) and the rest of the day I did a lot of walking around the house, stopping only to practice my guitar lesson for the week. So I'm off to a strong start. If you are looking to kick start your diet... join me on the 8 week challenge. Post your updates here or on my youtube channel and let me know how you're doing!

Anyway... I've been getting a lot of private messages about doing another Walking Dead video. I have a lot of the same questions from fellow fans, especially those who only watch the series and have questions about the comic... so, since I'm sitting here watching a Walking Dead Marathon... I've decided I'll go ahead and do another video. The next video will be discussing the Characters. similarities and differences between the comic and TV series.

Around the 14th of July I'll be uploading an update for the first week of my 8 week challenge.
