I have offically recieved my “get in shape” motivation. Both my best friend and my older sister have gotten engaged in the past 2 weeks. I will be in both weddings… June 2009 and November 2009.
It helps that I am already on track. I have lost 3 lbs in the past 2 weeks. 1.5 lb a week is great becasue you arent really supposed to lose more than 1-2 lbs a week for best long term maintenence.
I have been running 30-60 minutes a day, plus wieght training.
Last night I cooked chicken sausage with marinera sause and whole wheat pasta, as well as a Turkey meatloaf (I love meatloaf, but it cant be great for you). Healthy, and lots of leftovers! I am not trying to cut things out of my diet just using moderation and finding healthy alternatives to the foods that I enjoy. I seems to be working out well!
Good Luck to all!

So I was chatting with my boyfriend last night about how he hasnt been to the gym in a month due to a crazy school schedule (nursing)/laziness, and I have been working out, but my eating habits need improvment. So we have decided that starting today we are going to eat healthier. Corn Dogs and Apple Turnovers were dontated to the other roommates, finished off the 1000 island salad dressing and stocked the fridge with veggies, fruit, fish and chicken. Tonight meal will either be Shrimp Stir Fry with brown rice, or Grilled Tilapia. Also we finally used the Crock Pot and made Minestrone Soup from scratch. That will be lunch for the week. Its all about the teamwork… we need to encoarage eachother!
Begining Stats:
5’5”
140.5
I am not going to set a goal wieght because I think eating better should be goal #1 and I will see what happens from there!
