News from Eric for week #3

Hello all,

How goes the battle? This week was not a great week but some how I manged to still squeeze out 54 points. Giving me 171 so far.One of the guys I go to the gym with got a new baby girl this week and so we took a day off to celebrate the occasion. Then none of us were feeling very well another day so we took that one off as well. Where is all this going? Spending lots of extra time at the gym is saving my butt in this here competition. I'm feeling a little disheartened I was really excited when I saw how many people were going to be "playing" with us. Yet, every week it seems like less and less people are turning in their totals. What the hell? I know one of my biggest problems is just making it happen. QUIT PUTTING IT OFF!!! Take the 10 min. you have and use them. If these working moms, moms with multiple kids and my wife can do this so can you. I'm not the greatest motivator because all I have is time. So 2 hours at the gym is no biggie. It's honestly a welcome escape from this life sucking hole!

Our number one rule at the gym is NO PRIDE AT THE GYM! I'm saying NO PRIDE IN THE LOSERS! Lets all get some points posted even if it's 1 or 2. This whole thing is about bettering ourselves. 1 point means you are on the road to a better happier you. I know from life experience there is no greater support group that this one! Which reminds me, everyone who has sent cards, books, gifts, silly e-mails, etc.... Thank you thank you! I've been horrible about writing back or calling or anything but you need to know that everything you all have done has not gone unappreciated. YOU GUYS ROCK! I love you all and HAPPY LOSING!

S.D.L.Y.
