"New Blogger" on "Lifestyle Changes"

Well this blog thing is new to me, however, I have been inspired by someone to do this, so........here it goes.

I have been thinking and talking a lot lately with my husband about changing our lifestyle.  Getting healthy, so we can set a good example for our children.  Its a lot easier said than done.

I would like to exercise on a REGULAR basis, and change our eating habits, not some "crash diet", but a lifestyle change.  My big downfall is sweets, and when I say big I mean GIGANTIC!  But  I don't want to do this alone, I want someone to make the changes with me.  Its so easy to get stuck in a rut and get lazy, and that is what I have done....."got lazy".    However, I think my husband may be a little skeptical.....he usually just listens and agrees when we have this conversation, I'm usually the one doing most the talking.  HA HA HA

I have been looking into "Couch to 5K", check it out @ www.coolrunning.com, I think it would be a good way to ease into regular exercise.  I think its a good start, I plan on starting today (8-1-11), I will let you all know how it goes on here, maybe I will get brave and post my stats on here (ht, wt, etc) and we can all track my progress, maybe this would be a good way to visualize it for myself, I could even post a food diary on here.  We will see.  

The food diary is scary, I am like a cow......LOL.....I like to graze!  I like to just munch all day on whatever......and that it SO NOT GOOD.  I have lost some weight since March 2011, about 20lbs, however, I had a baby in May 2010, had stopped breastfeeding, and started eating healthier, but now I have fallen off that wagon and have put on about 5lbs :(   Its so easy to go back to our old habits, and thats what I have done.

Now its time to be accountable for what I put in my mouth, and what I do to my body!  So this is me on here.....being accountable.

I will try to post tonight after my 1st go at "couch to 5K" to let you all know how it goes.
