Join With Me

Since the fall of 2003 I've been on a constant journey to eat healthy and get to my target weight. I have had moments of glorious victory and moments of utter defeat. I've learned that success is most likely achieved through accountability and thus this blog is formed...to join with my sisters in a quest to reach our goals!

My idea with this blog is to keep a daily food and exercise journal as I attempt to reach my goal weight. I know that if I write down everything I put in my mouth and that also that if I know you will be reading it, that it will help me hold off on the "brownie binge"! There is a great free site called Fit Day (see link on this blog) where you can enter in your food diary and then they will give you a report of your daily calorie intake and show you your progress to your goal. I'm thinking we could copy those reports into this blog for the accountability factor. We could also just enter in our food diary directly on the blog and talk about victories/failures we had during the day.

More than anything, I want this blog to be an encourager for you in reaching your goals no matter how little or big. I want you to feel like you can come here for the inspiration to pick up and try again tomorrow if you went on an eating binge. I hope you feel like you want to run here when you loose 2 pounds in a week so we can all celebrate with you. I figure we're all dreading swim suit season and so if we start now, we should have time to make a dent in our goals by summer!

So come on, whether you can only commit to posting weekly or maybe you can make it daily...whether you want to lose 5 pounds or 50 pounds...whether you don't know where to start or you're already on a good diet plan...join with me, my sister.
