Dr. Oz and Bob Harper

I had an AWESOME day yesterday. My great friend and co-worker, Amanda, is amazing. 1 month ago Dr. Oz flew Amanda to New York to be on his show for a special 60 day Lifestyle Challenge. While she was there she met Bob Harper from Biggest Loser.

Yesterday Dr. Oz producers came to KC to check on her. Amanda had the opportunity to select supportive co-workers and I was one of them. I was filmed for the Dr. Oz show! As we were taping a surpise trainer came on site.....yup, it was Bob from Biggest Loser!

We went from the hospital to Liberty Memorial to do a workout session with Bob. Only a selective group of people were invited to come to the workout session. There were probably 75 people at this workout session lead by Bob.
I have joined my friend on this challenge. I have been a little slow joining her and getting motivated...but within 1 week I have lost 6 lbs. I am wearing a podimeter daily and aiming for 10,000 steps. Walking 30 minutes a day. Cutting out foods that end in "ose". Scott and I have been getting up early (5 a.m.) to exercise before work 3 days a week. I feel great!
Here are a few pictures from my great adventure. Also select Amanda's name on the right to read about her journey. I will keep you posted as to when the show will air.
