Work out Flop...

So I guess working out isn't going as well as I though...
We made it through a week and a half and then started having things come up and now we are back to being too busy with homework. I'm hoping tomorrow we can start up again and I am thinking two of these workouts for the rest of the week so that we make up for the two missed days. I am also planning on going for a walk this afternoon after our new internet get's installed.

How do you keep up your working out when it feels like you have to motivate your husband to join you? I don't like working out alone but Brady doesn't like the time it takes to work out and shower and get back to his homework. I feel like we are going to be stuck in a rut where we will go strong a few days and then flop again and have more days where we are not working out then we have working out. Any advice is welcome!

Here is my motivation to not give up because it is so true!

Getting Fit!

I have decided that it has been a long time since I last blogged anything and I have been inspired by a couple friends to start a fitness blog in hopes of getting more encouragement to keep it up.

So here are the "dirty" details of my weight... I have gained about 50 pound since me and Brady stated dating, 10 by the time we got married and the last of it over the last year and a half as we have been mostly sedentary doing homework. I went from 183 pounds to 232 and have lost a some already (about 4 pounds) by not drinking soda more then once a week and attempting to work out. We are trying to do a program called T25 which only requires 25 minutes a day 6 days out of the week. Two weeks ago we made it through 2 days, last week we did 3, and so far this week we have done 2 and I feel like this is our week! Yesterday we started, so we missed Monday but I'm okay with that as it was a really busy day, and we took our measurements so we can keep track of our loss.

Here is my starting picture that I took yesterday after we worked out and I will post a weekly picture of my progress in hopes that I will see a difference:


I hope to be able to get back down to a healthy weight and help my husband lose weight also. I have been wanting to have kids for a while (my goal was by 25 and I am now 26) and it has just not happened and I feel weight is a huge factor in that and I do not have health insurance at the moment to find out the real reason. 

Along with our exercise program we are trying to eat healthier and as I find awesome healthy recipes I will be sure to share them for any who are looking for easy healthy recipes as I am all for easy.
