New Years Resolutions or I Can't Make Excuses Any Longer

Since Josh and I have been married, 15-20 pounds, depending on the week, have crept up on me. It's not a pretty sight. I have been in a downward spiral about this. I have moments of- I just can't take it anymore, none of my clothes fit me, I'm going to lose weight dagnabit! Then reality hits me and I remember that I don't really like working out, and I really like to eat. Sigh. Soooo, now that 2009 has appeared, and both Josh and I are a good 15 pounds over weight (we blame Del Taco), the Miles family has decided to do a "Biggest Loser" challenge. Josh's parents and sisters are doing it, as well as my parents back in CT. We weigh in each Sunday at our family dinner and the winner get's some prize. The last weigh in date is April 5th. So the race is on! Josh's sisters have been successful using Weight Watchers, so we are trying that method this time. So far I am already 19 points into the 35 extra point I get each week- ha! I am supposed to only eat 22 points a day. Learning what points everything is worth is a slow process- but hopefully once I get it figured out, things will start to even out. I'll be updating our progress on the blog just to keep myself held even more accountable. It's on!
