Week 1

Okay...I'll do it. Wait...my husband is trying to make out with me. No, seriously. I'm ready and motivated...to lose weight, that is. Started the day off bad by eating Dad's brownies with marshmallow and fudge frosting that he made last night for our New Year's eve. And, ended the day badly with eating an ice cream cone. I'm not off to a good start, but I'm realizing that this will probably be harder for me than I thought. Sugar has always been the party in my mouth that I never wanted to end, but has not been my friend on my thighs or butt. Okay Sugar...you are going DOWN!! Jake made a great dinner of salad, rice, carrots and oranges. I think I might be eating a lot of salad for a while! This week's goal is to start an exercise program. We are heading to the YMCA first thing tomorrow morning, we have appointments set for a physical on Jan. 12, and we have been looking through a book (Forks Over Knives) for recipes. As we try different recipes we will post the good ones. Everyone else do the same too! I'm going to go grocery shopping tomorrow and stock up our fridge with fresh fruits and veggies. Mmmm! Let's get started!
