I came across this site searching for a funny diet cartoon/picture to use for my blog....and it seems to be just what I was looking for a while back.
My friend and I have started our own exercise and diet program.
We both wanted to lose some weight, and thought it was better to do it together, rather than alone. (I did it alone about 2 years ago, and it was hard, hard, hard.....but that weight loss/gain is a whole other story.)
I haven't had that much time to look through the site yet, but I can't wait to dive in and see what kind of goodies are hidden in here.
I'm hoping to make some new friends, get some more support and motivation to help me along during this new adventure.
A little bit about myself....I'm 30, married and the mother of two kiddos.
Booger #1 is 11 and she is in the 6th grade, and Booger #2 just turned 10 and he's in the 4th grade.
Both are very active, and little athletes (football, baseball, softball....and my daughter wants to play tennis now....) and I want to be able to help them stay active, and set a better example. (I DO NOT want to be the chubby Momma who just watches and tells them to "run faster" or "throw harder" while I'm sitting on my lazy butt.....good example, right?)
I am 5'10''....and I weigh.....a lot more than I should....and would like to get down to about 150....145 possibly.
(That's my pre-booger weight.)
For 3 weeks, we have been walking/jogging 2-3 (sometimes more) times a week, plus our workout videos at home 5 - 6 days a week.
So far, I have dieted, walked/jogged, and exercised myself down 8 pounds. Only about 35 - 40 more pounds to go.
(Just gave my weight away right then, didn't I?? lol)
I look forward to getting to know everyone better, and making some new friends.
Good luck to everyone here!! I wish you guys all the best!!
