It's been over a year and I've decided that it's *really* that time this time. I have some wonderful partners (and cheat checkers) to work with and I'm hoping that the group-activities/encouragement/guilt-tripping/general gripe sessions will help keep the motivation up. :) We're all in somewhat different levels of fitness; however, I think that this will actually work in our favor! :)
I weighed in today a little higher than I was this time last year, but I'm thinking I generally stayed around the same (a little yo-yoing but not anything too bad).
Yesterday, we outlined a quick idea of what we are thinking of doing (although it may change significantly tonight [and as we progress]).
Diet: To be determined tonight during exercise session/ team meeting. I'm thinking watching calories (ugh!), heavy on power foods (edamame/quinoa/etc), and keeping the ratio around 50% carbs, 20-40% fat and 10-30% protein. I know one of them is thinking heavy on watermelon (ugh! I hate melons!), and the other I didn't get a clear pulse on. But we did decide to cook meals together and stuff so it may be that we will alternate dishes of our choice.
Our exercise program will be as we design it; however we have decided that 3 days a week we will be doing a video (emphasis on cardio), alternating with personal lesson plans developed by us (alternating) which focus on core strength, buns/legs, and arms.
We'll see how everything goes! And I'll keep my journal updated as we progress (I really want to keep using the calorie counter to keep me on track as far as what I'm putting into my mouth!)
If you have any questions and/or want to participate, just drop me a line! :)

It's that time again! I spent part of the morning printing out some exercise advice. This wknd I cleared out my house of <most> unhealthy/junk food, and I'm ready to focus and actually see some results.
Best of luck to you and yours! :)

Uck! I guess yesterday was a wake up call!
Haha, I saw the number of calories allotted to me and I was like: holy shit! No way will I eat that much food... and then bam. Dinner hit. I ate AT LEAST that many calories (I know I ate more bread and there was some butter involved as well, go figure!). It should be noted that last night was a semi-special occasion as I was with friends and just grubbing on food, but still. Crazy! I think that's honestly one of my weak spots; because when I think about it it's really not a day to day problem I have with food. I *am* pretty good about what I eat at home and usually even at work; but then I'll have at least one or two days (with or without a friend) a week where I go off the deep end and eat anything and everything in sight that is bad for me. It's kind of cool that I finally recognized this problem! Maybe this calorie counting tool will work after all. :)
Anyways, going back to the "holy shit batman! I can't believe I ate that many calories after all!" moment, I've decided NOT to actually diet until next Monday because I want to see a semi-honest baseline of where I'm at so I can make an honest estimation of how many calories I can cut out and play around with. I'm not honestly looking at increasing my exercise at this point as I've continued to do my core body exercises and work out for around an hour each day anyways; but I may revisit this at some point.
Peace and love! <3

Wow, let's see if this works.
Let's see, I've been fat... my ENTIRE life. I think I look good with clothes on (most of the time) and clothes off (some of the time, depending on angles/lighting/mirrors). But, what's really pushing me to lose the weight is my health. I don't want to be a diabetic due to my eating lifestyle; I don't want to be the person who can't have a baby at home because they're not healthy enough. I am working on trying to be healthy, happy, and well.
I've struggled with dieting in the past; well, let's not lie. I've said: "I'm going to diet!" and then.... temptation hit. I'll pass up the "tempting" foods for a week, maybe too. I'll stay on a strict exercise program for a month or two, and then I'll cheat... and I'll cheat again... and I'll sleep in.... etc; before I know it I'm back to the starting line and baffled at where I went wrong.
We'll see if this works for me, hopefully this time it'll stick!
Much love.
