This is for our children...their children...and their children. This is for our family...this is for us!
Originally, this blog was my wife's, but I stole it since she stopped using it. So, now it will be a place for both of us to write and journal our experiences during this journey of getting healthy. For the both of us its more than just losing weight. Yes, we both want to be thin, but more importantly we want to be around for eachother and our children for a long, long time. We want t show our children that it just isn't okay to treat what He gave us so poorly...
We have stopped making excuses and are ready to face the challenge...are you?

Today was a pretty bad day. I didn't go to the gym because really I just didn't want to. I spent the morning at the doctor's office with one daughter so decided to eat out with my mom for lunch. I thought that I picked healthy decisions at the restaurant but I didn't realize just how many calories are in "healthy" food until I looked it up. I spent the afternoon at my other daughter's first speech therapy. It was not a good time. On the drive home all I wanted to do was eat. I wanted pizza, I wanted McDs... I wanted candy. I called my husband and he convinced me to get a pizza from p.ap.a mu.rph.ys-the delite version. I agreed. I ate a quarter of the pizza for a big ol 425 which is not so bad when I think about it since I would usually eat 4 pieces of more. All in all a high calorie and high fat day. But I'm ok with that. I have to have a life too on some days. I didn't drink enough water but I did tell my older daughter about proteins and carbs. That was a good conversation. All in all just an ok day.
