Eat, Love, Sweat

My hubby and I met at college! We had some classes together and we were also on the track team! From high school until now, we look back at pictures and think “Dang, we were little! What happened?!” Yes. We gained some weight, but it wasn’t like weight gain from eating until we exploded; it was definitely from weight lifting. See, we were throwers in college, and we were good (not to toot our horns)! We both broke school records, went to nationals, and definitely made the best of being a collegiate athlete!

This is us in Washington last year!

Yes. I will admit, it was SO much fun, but looking back, I just feel big. Some of you may think “Wow, you are still small!”, I am but I’m not! It’s been a year and a half since I’ve done any lifting or exercise for that matter, and I can definitely feel it. My hubby feels the same way (I swear we are not the same person)! So, we decided that starting August 1, we will be eating healthier, exercising, and becoming a healthier and happier us!

We’ve set goals throughout our weight loss journey and I am definitely pretty excited about it and so is he! It will keep us motivated throughout this whole process and with us doing it together, it will definitely be worth it!

But, for fun, I made us posters and these super cute pound trackers! My hubby thought I was weird but I think they are super fun!

They have colorful marbles in the and when we weigh in weekly, we will move the marbles over! I believe we both are wanting to lose about a hundred pounds! It’s a hefty goal but we definitely are going to push for it! As for our goals…

So this can be super hard to read, but basically the top poster is weekly weigh ins for a year! Hopefully that’s all it takes or less, but we will see!
The second poster is our goals and rewards! This I am super pumped about and I’m glad hubby was on board with this because I would have been so sad! So basically every ten pounds we lose, we reward ourselves with some personal rewards!
