Being as persuasive as she is, my sister has convinced me to join her in this journey to getting fit. Life seems to get busier by the minute so finding some one to workout with has been challenging. Everyone has such different schedules and as a result, as well intentioned as they maybe, my plans never seem to come to fruition. So when Liv suggested we get fit together it sounded like it was worth giving it a go. Did I mention we would be doing this from opposite sides of the country?
Unlike many other people I can not say that I have tried all sorts of things to get in shape and nothing seems to work for me. Until recently I hadn’t really given it much thought; but my gradual weight gain of about 5lbs / year over the last 6 – 7 years has been entirely due to lack of motivation to do anything about it. Add to that a job where I sit on my tookus all day long and you get an extra 30 some unwanted pounds. The worst part for me has been the storage of some of my favorite clothes because they just don’t fit any more.
I’m not a big fan of diets and I don’t think mine is a problem area. I admit to indulging in the occasional treat but my portion sizes are moderate and I rarely eat to the point of being overly full. I try to stay away from too many processed foods but again I make no claim to being perfect on that side of things either. So basically it comes down to something that sounds oh so simple… GET ACTIVE!
And so begins my accountability to you dear readers and dear sister.
