Starting Point

Hi everyone! This is very odd for me. I have never had the time nor the desire to do something like this, but this blog is about my family. It will include details about our desire to improve our lifestyle by changing how we eat, how we excercise and you will get to see it first hand.

We will start out by taking pictures of ourselves and giving stats about measurements and weight. This will be followed daily by posts on our activities that day and how we are doing with our progress towards this goal.

Monthly we will re-measure and re-weigh to see how we are doing. We will also set goals for ourselves because without a goal you have nothing to aim for and if you aim for nothing you will hit it everytime.

Nate and I have wanted to do this for a very long time but just never PURPOSED in our hearts to do it and actually we know in our heads that doing it together will be easier. The kids are not in need of this as much as Nate and I BUT it will not hurt them to learn better eating habits and the meaning of exercise at all. They are definitely a little "healthier" than they should be and hopefully this will help all of us in that area.

Please join us if you would like, we would love to hear how you are doing it and be there to encourage and support however we can. We are by no means experts on this, and the idea of "baring it all" on the Internet was the scariest thing ever. However, it gives us a major accountability factor and there is power in numbers.

Wish us success and we will send it back your way! I will have pictures posted by tonight of all us with our measurements so we will have our starting points.

Till then....
