Be A Loser With Karin...
Time to start thinking

It is time once again to start thinking about what you want to do with your new year.
If one of your resolutions is to lose weight or get into better shape (or even if it isn’t) now is the time to start thinking about being a loser with me.
Many of you are familiar with the Be A Loser With Karin contest that our newspaper sponsors every year. Last year we tried a few new things. This year, we plan to continue the groups and workouts for those who wish to attend.
I have a few other things in mind that I want to do so be prepared to have some new and hopefully fun things to assist you on your way to reaching your health goals. You see, it’s not just about losing weight, it is about overall better health. The contest just makes it a fun challenge to push yourself and make a commitment.
For me, Be A Loser With Karin is more than just a contest. It really does become a way of life for me. I think about weight loss, health and wellness for the months prior to the contest. I nearly obsess about those topics during the actual contest. When the contest is over, I continue to be involved in workouts and other healthy activities.
Then something inevitably happens around July or August and I start to slip back into my old habits.
Are you like me? Do you run a good race for a while and then stop training?
I have to admit, I am a little wary to step on the scale for that initial weigh-in, but if I can do it, you can do it.
Over the next few weeks, watch for more information about the Be A Loser With Karin contest which we intend to begin again this March for 12 weeks.
If you have ideas about things that you would like to see take place during the contest, please don’t hesitate to e-mail your ideas to me at: karin@inhnews.com or call me at the news office at 218-756-2131.
We are always open to your ideas about how to make this contest better for everyone.
