“The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital” - Joe Paterno

To me this is just not a quote about a football game but a quote about weight loss. The win is your goal weight and in order to reach your goal you must prepare and be prepared at all times.

So I came home from work yesturday and my husband says he has this 8 week fitness program he wants me to do with him. He promises it will give results as long as I of course stick with it. My husband is already in shape and works out 2-3 times a week and I figured I need to get to goal so why not give it a go - I did just that at 8pm lastnight. Myself and dh did our first 30 minute workout of the new 8 week “challange” and boy do I feel it today.
