Time to Get Back Into Shape with Scale Back Alabama

Time to get back into shape with "Scale Back Alabama."

If you are like me, the holidays are a love/hate relationship. I love the parties, great food, parties, great food ... did I mention great food?

But now it’s time to pay the piper-- argh!

But with Scale Back Alabama, it can actually be fun, (you need 3 buddies to team up with) and best of all it’s FREEEEEE!

The Plan:

The contest runs 10 weeks, and you try to lose 1 pound a week. Pretty easy I think. Walk before work and after dinner, and here is the key for me – take lunch to work. Keep an eye on portions, no snack foods and keep adult beverages to a minimum. No football hangouts – well except for Super Bowl. But just realize that the Super Bowl can be a pretty big setback right off the bat.

But overall pretty doable for 10 weeks.

The other great thing about the contest is the camaraderie, (nothing like your buddy doing better than you) and participants will be provided with tips such as how to eat healthier portions and how to make exercise a part of their normal routine that will last longer than the 10-week course.

The Bodenhamer Recreation Center at the city of Gulf Shores complex is the designated area for check-in and weigh-ins now through Jan. 27 from 7am-8pm.

Who’s with me?
