This is a fabulous idea, Leslie!! Ralph and I were just talking about how I am an externally motived person while he’s more internally motivated. Hopefully this will help me keep doing what I need to be doing and I’ll be able to help others just as much. I have a few things coming up that are helping to motivate me. First, my ten year class reunion is in July and I have a goal of losing 45 pounds by then. Second, Ralph and I are going to the USVI in December and I really want to not embarrass myself on the beach, so I’m trying to lose 90 pounds (my ultimate goal) by early December. :) Last, we’ve talked about it some lately and we’ve decided we want to start getting serious about having kids, going as far as fertility treatments if we need to. However, I’ve always been told that if you are able to get your weight to a more healthy range, your ability to conceive is increased, so I’d like to try that method first. Food Today: Today I had for lunch pot roast, brocolli/rice casserole and baby carrots, along with two wheat rolls and unsweetened tea. For dinner, we had chicken salad on crackers and spinich salad with walnuts, dried cranberries and maple/vinegar/oil dressing and apple juice. So far, so good. Exercise Today: Uh, I didn’t exercise today. *Hangs head in shame* With working on the Jixaversary this past weekend, I didn’t have time to study for my midterm tomorrow, so I ditched the gym in favor of studying. I’m going to try to get up and go in the morning before work, but I’m NOT a morning person and that just doesn’t usually work out very well. More tomorrow!
