Back to the BMV

I'm really trying very hard not to go postal against Chase Bank. I'm really not sure how to handle things anymore I think I'll have to have my husband step in because this is just getting more ridiculous every day. Today I went back to the BMV with the letter Chase sent me to claim the sale taxes. I had all the information the letter said to take with me. I waited in line for 1 hour and 11 minutes to find out I had to go to Ohio.gov and enter my name in the unclaimed funds site and it would tell me how to claim my funds. Guess What? There are no unclaimed funds in my name so now I will have to call Chase again tomorrow to find out what hair brained chase there going to send me on now. After waiting at the BMV I went over to the mall to walk it was raining here today. I've been really watching what I'm eating and making sure I get my walking  in since I'm going to win this bet with my brother Pat. Put a little wager on the line and it makes all the difference. I'm working my new job and I'm on my feet moving constantly so I'm sure I'm burning calories there too. Did you know the ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.

The Challenge

Talk about going from one extreme to another Ohio weather is so unpredictable one day it's 91 the next 75 then bam 56 at this rate it will be in the 20's next week if not sooner. And the sad part is 56 is pretty good weather for mid October except when you have highs of 91 in the same week 56 seems pretty brutal. I needed a jacket to walk at 6 pm today. But it is easier to walk in 56 than 91. Well this week-end is suppose to be nice so I'll just keep my fingers crossed. The one amazing thing I saw during my walk tonight is people watering their burned up lawns like it's going to help now.My brother Pat who lives in Chandler Arizona has decided to lose 20 lbs by Thanksgiving. He runs everyday in extremely hot weather & burns a lot of calories but consumes a lot of calories. He doesn't gain but he hasn't been losing so he has decided to commit and lose the weight. I have lost 15 lbs since Feb and have been walking almost every day with the exception of the past couple of weeks and my weight has stayed the same since late May. I eat healthier now, watch what I eat, try to get my walking in but have not lost any more weight. So when I saw he was going to lose 20 lbs I decided to challenge him to a weight loss contest 10% of our body weight by Dec 1st. So that gives me 71/2 weeks to lose my 15 lbs. Up for grabs is a $50 gift certificate of the winners choice. Who will win? check in every Tuesday night to see our progress. Did you know you burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.
