Starting Again

I realize it has been over a year since my last post. In that time I continued to lose weight, then gained weight, then lost weight. The typical cycle that we all struggle with. I also wore the dress and looked pretty damn good in it. The wedding was fabulous and I even managed not to fall down the aisle in the 4" wedges I wore. Great event, great dress (still have it and WILL wear again sometime), great friends and even better memories.

But I found myself creeping back up in the weight department. I did really well this past summer and dropped about 20 pounds with the help of some friends who participated in a 90 day weight loss challenge. It was great, we worked out, we tracked our food and once a week we got together for "family dinners" that were healthy and absolutely delicious. Then of course life gets busy and going to the gym and cooking dinner at home takes a back seat to the demands of work, family, socializing, and sleep.

So, here I am again getting back on track to losing weight. This time I am on this journey with my best friend, Bret. He and I are roommates, gym buddies, kitchen mates, and most importantly each other's cheerleader/motivator/ass-kicker. We have decided that we would both like to eat healthier, feel healthier and look healthier. My mad kitchen skills mixed with his mad gym skills are the perfect combination.

We were recently talking about documenting our journey and losses as a way to keep a journal and hold ourselves accountable. That conversation brought this blog back to life. I'll be covering Monday posts and Bret will cover Friday posts. Although I'm sure we'll have a few thrown in as we think of fun stuff to share.

To start things off, here are the numbers we are beginning with:
