The True Religion Challenge

When I was at Razor's Edge Fitness in Pensacola, there was a trainer there who changed my life in many ways.  Corey taught me discipline, a desire to be strong, and inspired me to better.  She also introduced me to Paleo.  Corey wore True Religion jeans.  And suffice to say she looked damn good in them.  I remember wanting that so badly.  To be able to look great in a pair of jeans like that.  True religion jeans only go up to a size 31 and they are over $200.  They are also my birthday present to myself this year.



My birthday is April 19th.  That gives me 3 months and 19 days to get down to that size.  I currently wear about a 36.  I am about to do something I have never done before.  Set a huge goal and reach it.  I have done 30 days of Paleo.  30 days of Primal.  30 days without alcohol.  Quit smoking cold turkey.  Quit spending on ridiculous things.  And now its time to reach beyond the limits of my 30 day comfort zone and start something I have to finish.   Its more than just 3 months and 19 days of Paleo (and trust me there will be a few cheat days to keep my sanity in tact),  its about finishing something I should have a long time ago.  Its about me being tired of being big.  And I'm done with it.  I have lost around 60lbs on this entire journey.  I have done a lot and I am proud of that.  But its time to finish this journey so that I may start a new one.  One that doesn't include weight or jean sizes.  This is my pledge and my gift to myself.  Interested?
