Here We Are Again.

I guess that's why they call it a journey, right?  I suppose (& hope) it won't always be an uphill battle.  But I know that even when I reach my goal weight, I will always have to TRY HARD to maintain it.  I'm like an addict.  Cupcakes are my crack.  But right now, I'm just trying to get to the top of that hill.

So, let's focus on the positives.  Cliff and I have both been eating VERY healthy for the last week.  I'm down 7.6 lbs. and Cliffy is down 10 lbs.  We aren't following a specific diet.  We've just been eating fruits, veggies, lean meat, nuts, brown rice, Greek yogurt, lots of water.. and staying away from soda and processed foods.  It seems to be doing the trick.

We haven't really gotten super serious about working out yet.  But that is coming soon!  I really like a saying I saw on Pinterest..  "Get fit in the gym, lose weight in the kitchen."  It's so true!  We're doing well on the losing weight part and now it's time to focus on the getting fit part.  I am sooooooo excited that our horrid, bitterly cold winter is over and that the sun is shining!  Now that the weather is nice and it stays light for longer, we plan to walk on the trail. We can also utilize the gym here at our apartments.

Unfortunately, working out in the apartment isn't much of an option.  Our disgusting neighbors downstairs must stand poised and ready with their broom handle to bang on our ceiling at the slightest hint of a noise.  They banged on the ceiling when Cliff spilled his beer.  On the carpet.  And when I got a pot out of the cabinet.  And when I sat on the couch.  Seriously, all day.  So jiggling around with my lady lumps to Zumba or some such routine in my living room might start an all out war.

Why now, you may ask?  Because I'm ready!  I'm 30.  I want to have a baby.  And I want to be healthy and feel better.  That's why.  :)  I hope some of you will still follow me and leave comments!  I love to hear from y'all.  I also want to post pictures so one day I can do one of those cool slide show thingies to see how much my body has changed.  But I'll save that for a day when I'm wearing a bra.

Until next time, I leave you with this image.  You're welcome.
