I mean can you really blame them with all the good home cooking? Problem is when the meal is done, you have many people sitting around rubbing protruding stomaches talking about the great meal and how stuffed they are now. Again this maybe a southern thing, or maybe a just my family thing ;).
My point to this little anecdote, is that this "Say When" concept and then the incidental stuffed tummies has been on my mind a lot lately.
I have been reflecting on how the years have passed and how many pounds have packed on, and I have asked myself "When will I say When?"
When will it be enough to make me stick with better diet and exercise?
I am unfortunately not a person who can just do one or the other and the pounds melt off. It takes a lot of consistent hard work as well determination to restrict certain foods from my life.
So in an effort to FINALLY "Say When", I am going to be chronicling mine and Tim's progress on this health and wellness journey.
I have opted not to call this a weight loss journey because it is not solely about that. This about Tim and I both knocking on the door of 30 and wanting to have several more healthy active years to our life. We want to have kids and be able to run with them and play without being hindered by our weight and fitness level.
So here we go folks.
This past week has been a little introductory get in gear kind of week. We bought a Wii Fit and have both exercised 4 out of 7 days. This week, we plan to add the gym into the mix for 2 to 4 days.
We are also starting a low GI diet tomorrow. It has lots of tasty food and seems like it will be satisfying, but helps us find a balance what we eat to improve our health.
Wish us luck and we would love to hear from you as we share our food diaries, our exercise efforts, and general progress on this journey.
By the way, just adding in the 4 days of physical activity have me down 5 pounds for the week!
