oprah winfrey once said,
"surround yourself with people who are going to take you higher."
and if you want more motivation, i say,
"surround yourself with people who are going to take your money."
well starting tonight i did both.

here's the deal:
4 friends
$20 entry fee
15 minute workouts
5 days a week
$5 re-entry fee because b knows how we work.
and
lots of laughter.

last one standing, who by the way will be slim and trim, gets the pot.
