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?

Falling off the wagon...??

Today was my sister's bridal shower. She is getting married in about a month! I hosted the party at our house. When I was thinking about a lunch menu, I knew that I wanted something semi-healthy and I think I did a pretty good job trying to accomodate everyone. We ended up having mini mayo and chive ham sandwiches, fruit platters with yogurt dip, a veggie platter with reduced fat ranch dip, pretzel rods with spinach/artichoke dip, chips and salsa, and a caprese pasta salad. Of course, we had to have cake as well. I was pretty proud of myself because let's face it, I'm a grazer when I am preparing meals. I take a little cheese here and a few olives there; but today I was too busy to snack. I told myself that I was going to have a plate of food and maybe a cocktail and I did. Then I had another plate of food and a few more cocktails and a couple pieces of cake. UGH! It's so hard when it is all sitting in front of my face. I was not even hungry but I just found myself taking one more bite. Add that to the fact that I didn't have time to go to the gym this morning. I haven't missed a scheduled exercise day in quite awhile. I am working out six days a week and I yearn for that time away from everything. I am pretty sure that tomorrow is not going to be that great according to the scale.
That last picture is from last summer. It gives me such motivation not to fall off the wagon again. Tomorrow is a new day, right?! Congratulations, Kayla! I love you.
