Re-commitment

March 1 was our re-commitment date on this journey. We had gotten a little off track, but not too bad. Our goals are to exercise more and return to eating at home as much as possible. Many things have happened since August, but we are still striving to have a healthier lifestyle. We have plateaued in the weight loss, so we know that we have to kick up the physical activity if we want to lose more.

My official goal is 40 lbs. by Sept. 1 (6 months from start date). I have the honor of being a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding and really want to rock the dress I'll be wearing. Now that it is getting warmer, I hope to be motivated by the sunshine and get it done! Tom bought me Zumba! for the Wii for Christmas, so I also hope to incorporate it into the routine. I've worked out with it twice now and I definitely felt the burn in my muscles!

So the update since 3/1:

3/1: 30 min. Zumba! for Wii

3/3: 45 min. Zumba! for Wii

We have to learn from our past, right? Well, I wasn't really that involved in many physical activities as a child or growing up, so I hope to change that for Brooklyn. I want her to enjoy sports and other activities. We're starting her young. Last night she had her first soccer practice! I hope she has fun and learns to enjoy playing with her teammates.

I appreciate your feedback and comments as we venture on down the road. Here we go!
