THE DIET

Since Josh and I have gotten married, our bodies have both changed, and I'm not talking about for the better! We constantly say "I have got to start doing something" and we never do. So I'm taking it upon myself for the two of us to START doing something. My search for a fitness center started today, and I have a few more to call tomorrow. There's really not a lot around us, of course there's the usual Anytime and Snap fitness, but I love classes - so I'm really leaning more towards this one called Franco's (I'm just scared to find out how much it is monthly).

Then there's the diet part. I'm not talking about some of the crazy things people do like only eating boiled shrimp and cayenne pepper, or not eating any carbs... I'm just talking about eating right. Like tonight, we had fried chicken tenders... this time next week, it will be grilled chicken tenders (without the honey mustard)... I'm gonna lean back towards Weight Watchers, for the simple fact that it makes me actually write down what I eat every day. I don't see Josh doing this part though. Actually, Josh doesn't even know about this yet!!!! I'm not sure when I'll tell him, maybe I'll just send him a link to this and say "Surprise Baby.... I LOVE YOU!!!!!"

But I'm doing this for the good of both of us. Health wise, we're not on a great path. We haven't even been married a year, and the "comfortable" feeling is setting in a little too much if you know what I mean... So this Sunday, I'm gonna weigh us, and every Sunday morning after that... and I'm gonna post it on here so (hopefully) someone will be able to hold us accountable for this!

Wish us luck, cause this time next year, we're gonna be the SEXY couple on the beach :-)

GOOD LUCK!!

Just stay strong, girl! Bruce started his "diet"...he actually doesn't call it a "diet", he calls it a "lifestyle change." Anyway, he started at the beginning of February...and has lost 35 lbs since then. He runs about 3 miles a day, about 5 days a week. He continues to lose weight, but he doesn't ever deny himself anything he wants. He just has reduced his portions. Eats A LOT of fresh fruits and veggies...and increased in protein and fiber intake. He has a few "vitamins" he is taking on a regular basis...Green Tea Extract, B-6, B-12, Fish Oil. I even take the Green Tea Extract and B-6. It really increases my energy level...without making me feel jittery like a diet pill would.

Anyway, I think you will do great!!

Thanks for the encouragement!!! And I will definately look into the Green Tea & B6 - I'm not a diet pill fan either, they make me feel like my heart is gonna jump out of my chest!!!
