Today was a breeze...Granted, I wasn't the portrait of perfect health and exercise today, but you've got to start somewhere and as it turns out - today was better than yesterday..so there's my start.
I actually really enjoy the anticipation of a personal challenge like this. I think I'm someone who likes extremes when it comes to my personal development. It's the in between that causes me to fall victim to my own wavering will power, indecision, or momentary lapses of motivation. And..it helps...that Bill is in this with me - we're in it together. We've both committed to ourselves and to each other...and as I mentioned - accountability is SERIOUS when pinky swearing with Mr. Reeves.
So where are we starting from?! From a weight stand point - I'm 5'8'', 150 pounds. My honey is 5'8'' at 175. As far as our routine, we're great about cooking at home during the week, but we love a good happy hour on Friday nights and typically a date night most Saturdays. And let's put all our cards on the table...during the week - a cocktail, beer, glass of wine (or two) seems to REALLY relax the neck muscles when the day may have seemed like it would never end. As for exercise - other than a walk to the park with the babies, a car washing, or cleaning the house - we haven't made a point to put this in our routine. So there you have it....us...
Therefore, the goal over the next 30 days is to be more deliberate in making healthier choices (and of course the non-negotiable is...no alcohol). My immediate motivation is starting to shed the "Newlywed Nine" (as I've come to affectionately call it) and secondly, our family's beach trip with both of our families at the end of August.
Life is grand and focusing in on ourselves will only make it better...stay tuned.
