OUCH!

Yikes!

I got on the scale today for the first time since I got married.

I fell off the wagon.

HARD.

And so did my husband.  Unfortunately we're both about 50lbs over where we want/should be.

Talk about a punch to the stomach.  I worked my way all the way down to the 180's and here I am a mere 30lbs away from the heaviest I have ever been.

I vowed I'd never let myself go back there, but it would appear the joy and happiness of newlywed-dom, and the binge eating after our miscarriage has had an adverse affect on our weight.

Thankfully I have a wonderfully loving husband who has joined me in a renewed effort to get my health back under control.

We're more motivated than ever to be healthy and to do it together in order to strengthen our marriage, and prepare a healthy lifestyle for our future family.

We started this morning, and there were plenty of obstacles to keep us from achieving our workout, but we didn't let it.  After an intense Focus T25 workout, we had a healthy breakfast - and even took our supplements!  Zach even drank his vinegar!  Hahahaha.

My fitbit is charged and ready for action again and I'm making sure to make a concerted effort to climb the stairs often and get in as many steps as possible daily.

We're making a lot of modifications to our daily routine and we have a long way to go... but it's a start.

And most importantly, it's together.

My family is even in on the action.  His parents are starting a new regimen, my mom is doing T25 on the same schedule as us, as is my brother and his beautiful new wife.

It's so much easier to be healthy when you have a community of support, so I thank them AND I thank you all for continually supporting me in this lifelong journey.

Changing your life is a continual process and one I'm excited to renew on a daily basis.

Talk soon lovelies!

Mwah!
