A few months before my husband and were engaged in Sept 2004 we started working out and eating better. When we got engaged we really kicked it in to high gear so we could look good for the wedding. We got married in June 2005. Since then I have gained back about 10 pounds. Every Sunday night I tell myself that this is going to be the week that I get back on track and it never happens. This has been going on for way too long. I saw the article in O magazine and thought this might be a good way to get going again.
My husband and I met at work and continue to work together. We both have very stressful jobs and deal with the stress by going out to eat after a long hard day at work. He is really good about working out in the morning and then at lunch or after work with me (when I go). I used to lift weights three times a week and then cardio three times a week. Sundays were resting days.
I hate dragging myself to the gym. I always know that I will feel better once I am done with my workout, but just getting there is a big problem.
I better get to bed. I'm glad I signed up for the website today. I feel like I am doing the right thing.
The hardest part is getting going but once you are comfortable and in a routine, it will settle in. And, if you have to go out to eat after work -- I'm sure there are things on the menus you can find that fit into what you want to eat to get healthy. Everyone has so many obstacles with our busy lives -- but check out the goals threads and some before and after photos -- it will really give you a boost to get going. Good luck!!
