Well... with only 11 months and some weeks to go we've got some weight to lose. Both of us fell in love and ate our whole way down to break the fall and while we are happy as clams, we want to be the hottest people at our wedding and that will take a bit of work.
We started this week with three dyas of intense work outs. I call them intense, but they may not have been as "intense" if we had been working out for longer. The first two days he did weights while I did a run/walk pattern on the treadmill. The third day (yesterday) he taught me how to use some of the weights and then we both head to the park to run/walk for a couple miles. I am sore.
Sore, actually, seems like an understatement.
I feel how I would have imagined my Barbie's to feel as a child when I pulled off their limbs and then awkwardly put them back together. My hips and shoulders specifically seem to be barely holding on in their respective joint locations. My body is revolting.
We have also eaten lunch and dinner at the apartment instead of going out. This has been since Tuesday (Monday we had a church dinner to attend to at a delicious Mexican resteraunt). A diet will be the next step, but this is a process and one that I'm willing to walk somewhat slowly into.
We took before pictures so we can see a month from now how we're doing. We smiled because, lets face it, these extra twenty or so pounds we came by we came by happily.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to start the process of getting out of the chair because it could take me a long time to get to the standing position and I've got an appointment with a bakery to taste some cakes in a couple hours!!
