One Week In....

This is me, Sep 2012, my wedding day. I
was 180. It’s now Jan 2013 and I’m 193...
It’s time to make a change!

Hello everyone, not sure who all is reading this.

The point behind this blog is to track how my husband and I do on a diet.

We are using an app called myfitnesspal. There is also a web site called myfitnesspal.com. It takes into count your normal activity (like work) and weight goals and time frame before giving you your caloric intake each day. For example, my husband is able to have 2200, and I only have 1370 because he works more than I do.

We started a week ago and already he's lost ten pounds.... I've lost .2 pounds. Aside from work, I try to go for walks and do aerobics once a week.

Will hopefully be able to add more exercise once my work schedule gets more normal. Hardest part so far has been staying away from bread and cookies (both of which i have alot of in my pantry!).

Salads and steamed vegies have become my best friend.

Why am I starting a diet you may ask?

Well... I’m 5’6 and weigh 193 pounds.  I am newly married (4 months into it actually). And my clothes are too tight. I’m unhappy when I look in the mirror. I wear cloths to bed (even after sex). And I feel fat. There are more reasons, but those are enough to get us started right?

Now why are you reading this?

Maybe you’re a friend who saw a post about my blog on facebook. Maybe you somehow found it on a Google search. And then maybe you’re a friend of a friend of a friend of mine heard about this and told you to start at the beginning because this will be so inspirational to you!

Alright, probably not the last one. But who knows, maybe in a year or so, that could be a friend of a friend of yours you ask to read this....

Anyways welcome to my blog! I hope you all enjoy it and comment and talk about it with your family and friends. Those who diet should never diet alone, right?

Arose.
