Let the Challenge Begin!

Has there ever been a family that is as competitive as this one? Whether it is cards, board games, debates, sucking M&M's, or arm wrestling; the Mathewsons do not like to lose to anyone over anything. I think all six of the kids inherited it from their parents. Think about it..., there's like gentic testing and DNA analysis out there that can determine this stuff. The power of modern science!

Anyways, everyone in this here family has wanted to improve their health and their lifestyle for the longest time. We all recognize the need for an intervention. It seems like our once chiseled frames and rock hard abs have since turned into borken dreams. BUT!, it's 2012... the world is going to end in like 10 months and we have a lot to do to look our best!

So we invented this challenge of epic proportions. Excercise will be excorcised, healthy food will be consumed, and porcelain may or may not be chipped from the gallons of water that will be consumed. Yes, the very core of Utah County will be shaken to its roots.
People will want to be you, children will want your action figure, and you will want to create your own clothing line similar to JNCO, FUBU, or B.U.M. Equipment.

Rumor even has it that the winner of the competition will be featured in the Utah Valley Magazine and on BYUTV's original program NOVA.

Needless to say your lives will never be the same. You will turn heads, you will make teenage girls cry, and most importatnly, YOU WILL give 110% in this competition. If you do not, be prepared to be mocked ridiculed and most importantly motivated and lifted up by the rest of your family.

This blog will highlight our progress. This blog will provide witty commentary. This blog will fill that void that you've had in your life. You're all administrators... meaning, you can all post on this blog whenever you want.

Good Luck and Happy 12 week/3 month challenge.
