The past week or so has been tough. I haven't been good about going to the gym and I have been craving cookies. I actually gained 2.2 pounds. So I have been thinking of ways to motivate myself. I came up with a great plan. For the past 2 years I have participated in an event called the Crawl 4 the Cure to raise money for the Multiple Sclerorsis society. Well I have come up with a plan to raise a little more money. I would like people to pledge money for every pound I lose between February 8th 2007 and July 12th 2007. I will start it off with a pledge of $1 per pound. I am hoping to lose another 70 pounds so that can give you a gauge as to how much your pledge will be, and I would like to collect at least $20 per pound that I lose. 100% of the money raised goes to the MS Society. And all the pledges are tax deductible. If people want to make a pledge email me at davidwesterberg@msn.com . If you are interested in the event check out www.crawl4cure.org for more information. This event is growing each year and the media coverage is growing as well. If there are businesses out there that are willing to make a pledge I am not above placing advertising on the side of my Jeep. I am very excited about this challenge. I am looking forward to losing even more weight and raising money for a great cause. Over the past 2 years we have raised about $46,000 for the MS Society. If anyone wants to come up and check out the event from the passengers seat of my Jeep (I might even let you drive), let me know and maybe we can work something out. I will have the dietician here at the clinic where I work certify the starting weight and ending weight, and I will take pictures of the scale just to make sure everything is on the level. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at the email address above.
I am confident that this will give me the motivation to lose those 70 pounds. I am very excited about this.
