My sister and I have embarked on a weight loss journey together. Our goals are somewhat different (mine is to lose the title of "obese" and hers is to lose the pregnancy belly), but our need to compete with each other is completely the same. We've decided to blog about our adventures in hopes that we will inspire others and hold each other and ourselves accountable. Check in occasionally to see how we're progressing!

Day 1

So here's the scoop.....the only way I'm going to lose weight and get in shape is if I have to compete with my sister to do it. I actually read the other day that people are generally more successful at losing weight if they stand to lose something, i.e. money, creditability, etc. I could really care less about creditability and I don't have a lot of money to lose, but I HATE losing to my sister....so this concept really makes sense to me.

At any rate, today was a good day. Had a good workout with my friend Beezy this morning which resulted in both of us looking like we had just sat in a sweat lodge or sauna for about 6 hours. I'm sure either of those activities would have been more relaxing....but not result in better fitness, such is life. I also ate pretty well. That's not to say I ate a lot of fruits and vegetables, but at least I didn't eat any sweets. Tomorrow we lift legs and maybe I'll try to find something healthy to bake...like bran muffins....or cardboard on a stick.... :)
