Day One.... here we go!
Nov 04 2009 08:21

Welp, since the wedding day I've packed on a few pounds... I hear that's pretty typical for new brides.  But when I noticed in the past few weeks that I could only fit into one pair of jeans now (that I used to call my baggy jeans, hah) I realized it was time to do something.

That in and of itself wasn't really enough motivation though.  It sounds silly, but I was scanning through my old facebook profile pics yesterday and saw a picture of me standing over a river on a day trip my husband and I took a few years ago.  I was so skinny!  My waist, hips, butt, legs... oh boy.  So I thought, yea... this isn't okay.  At that point I officially deemed today as "Day One" in the Whitney gets skinny again plan.  It's really important to me to be healthy, but I often lack the motivation.  Thus I made a profile on here, hoping that if people knew what I was trying to do, I wouldn't be able to back out as easily!  =)

My husband is feeling the need to get in shape too so I am pretty excited.  I think this will be a fun journey since we're doing it together.  =)  So because he's working and my current life consists of acting as the home-keeper, we decided that my new job is to plan our weekly meals in advance and do  research on health and nutrition so that we can eat better and be healthier.  =)

Welp, I guess, here's to day one!
