Eric and I have made the executive decision to make a lifestyle change. At least for the next month, we will be counting calories and watching our portion sizes. As an athlete, Eric's goal is to make sure he's eating enough and my goal, as a chubby little housewife, is to limit my caloric intake.
I have also signed a membership for Fitness 19 (a gym). It is 6 miles from the house but you can't beat the price at $20/mo. I took my baseline body measurements and they were a little frightening (I'll spare you the nightmares). I will do follow up measurement at 6 and 12 wks.
My workout goal is to do cardio 3 days/wk and weights 2 days/wk, with 1 visit to the scale at the beginning of each week. My first workout was today and I feel pretty good. Ask again in a couple hours and I might tell you a different story.
We'll keep you updated on our progress. At the end of 12 weeks, I hope to have shed 15-20 lbs. Wish us luck!
