Weight Loss Accountability

Our family went to the beach in Ludington for a fun afternoon. At the beach, my sister-in-law took the below photo of my husband and I. When I looked at it (seeing my protruding gut) I asked for a redo so I could "correct" that problem by sucking it in.

The more I thought about it- this picture is my inspiration to get healthy. This photo will be posted on my fridge as a deterrent from late night snacking. It's time to get serious about getting back to my pre-pregnancy health. I have set two goals for myself-

1. Run a 10k this fall

2. Get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 155lbs

Plan of Attack: Calories in- Energy Out

I have purchased a Body Media Fit that calculates the calories I burn throughout the day. By eating less calories than I burn in a day, my body will begin to burn my stored energy (fat) for energy. I intend to lose 1-2lbs a week.

What I need from you:

1. Hold me accountable. Read my blog and make sure I am continuing to update it with my progress. My goal is to update my blog with progress reports at least twice a week. (Next week will be an exception because I will be up north on vacation without a computer). Lastly, a lot of women believe their weight is personal information, however I am sharing this information to keep me accountable.

2. Be Supportive. Walking or Running partners are great. Healthy recipes are awesome. Anything to help me achieve my goals. And if anyone wants to complete a 10k with me this fall, let me know!
