It's a lifestyle

After nearly four months on this journey, I've recently come to realize how our efforts to leading healthier lives has transformed into a lifestyle. It is coming natural to us and is a part of our everyday decisions. We've had some low times in the last couple of weeks, but we continue to encourage each other to keep pressing forward to reach our goals. An unexpected thing that has happened is how our relationship has strengthened as well. The desire to want the best for each other and the pride we have for each other has brought us closer to each other. Every time someone tells me that Tom looks good, I feel so happy and proud of him.

This past weekend we did a small amount of shopping, which gave us a boost of encouragement. Tom fit very comfortably into shorts two inches smaller and also bought a large size Cubs t-shirt. He use to get an extra large if not 2XL. I was very happy when a skirt for work fit me at two sizes smaller than my other skirts and I also bought a few shirts in a smaller size. Sounds like we may have spent a good amount of money, but shopped at Ross and Old Navy to get cheap prices so we aren't investing a lot of money when we hopefully will need even smaller clothes.

As we watch our inspiration tonight (The Biggest Loser), I watched the contestants complete a 5K. It inspires me to research any that might be in the Nashville area and make it a goal for myself as well. Anyone who wants to join me would make it even better! I won't promise to run it, but I want to complete it!

We are also nearing our goal for the Pound for Pound Challenge. It feels good knowing someone in need is benefitting from this journey and getting the food and nutrition they need.

It feels good to feel good.
