The Big "D"

I don't mean Dallas either.  DIET!!!!!  It may be the nastiest 4-letter word out there.  You can call it a lifestyle change but let's face it.........it's still a diet!  Justin and I both decided that we MUST lose weight.  We are both overweight and very our of shape.  I knew this diet was approaching so I made the best of my two week holiday vacation and drank a gazillion cokes along with eating all of the sweets I could handle.  We are completely cutting out carbonated drinks and decreasing our portions. We are also drinking gallon after gallon of water which is really not that easy. Thank goodness Justin is on board with me on this or I could not do it!!  The hardest thing for me will be Mi Casita.  Justin mentioned that I could eat about 17 chips with my salsa and still be OK.  No Justin, that's not OK.  I eat that chips, salsa, and cheese dip like I am in a competition or something.  Anywho, I am really going to try and do this diet thing.  I would love to lose 50 lbs but my first goal will be 30 lbs.  I keep looking at my wedding pictures as inspiration.  I was pretty darn skinny way back then......oh wait.....that was only 5 1/2 years ago!!  Justin wants to lose a ton of weight but I am restricting him to 50 lbs.  I told him I didn't marry a skinny beanpole for a reason.

Wish us luck........we will need it!!!!
