Was it suppose to be a pound for pound challenge to gain weight?

I have to be honest, ever since I signed up for the pound for pound challenge, I've only gained weight and I'm talking 10lbs of weight....ugh...sucks but I'm seriously back on track. (At least for now.) I just ran my first mile since high school today. (I think.) It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm going to keep on going. My friend Kara and I are planning on running a 5k this spring. Now this may not seem like a lot, but for me, who has never like running nor do I think I have ever ran more than 2 miles at a time, this will be a big deal. I'm excited to get in shape, to get my once hot bod back. It's been way to long since we've been together and we are ready to be reunited. The thing we have to remember is we can't just "hope" it will come off. We'll have to put in some hard work together but I think we're ready for it this time. We have to be!
