Fit-to-Fat-to-Fit Blog: Team Victor

Goal Weight: 195 lbs.

Today’s Weight: 198 lbs.

Last night I hung around a bunch of losers.  Well, they’re actually a bunch of winners who just happen to lose weight. Lots of weight.  I was invited to the Paul Lacoste’s Fit-4-Change end-of-the session party.  And I had a great time seeing many my old teammates from the Spring session.

I also was honored to be named as a member of “Team Victor.”  So, what’s “Team Victor” you ask?  Here’s the definition from paullacoste.com:

The Team Victor award is given throughout the year to athletes who have demonstrated the highest levels of dedication, commitment, and intensity through the entire training cycle. These are the type athletes a coach wants as the foundation of his or her team. Get enough of these athletes together and wins are going to pile up quick.

I’m not proud because I think I’m that deserving. I’m proud because I’m now in the company of some amazing people who set goals, worked hard and achieved them. Paul Lacoste has become a powerful warrior in the fight against obesity. His program changed the direction of my life.  My “Team Victor” T-shirt is one that I’ll wear proudly.

Today’s run: 4.55 muggy miles.
