My city is doing a 6000lb trim down challenge so the whole city is going to have 4 months, starting in January, to be involved in activities, win prizes, support each other, and lose weight in the new year. I signed up and I'm so excited. It's exactly what I needed to get involved in a community thing and have accountability.

Q: Polar Express, The Santa Clause (with Tim Allen), and Home Alone.

So I measured myself last week so I could have my wedding dress "custom" made (no idea of they REALLY make the dress to custom measurements, but I'm trying it out) and holy shit I have NEVER in my life been so freaking big! I mean jesus can my hips get any freaking bigger! So I've been biking on my new stationary bike for 60-80 minutes a day while I watch Sons of Anarchy (also tracking my diet on MyFitnessPal and I had enough calories for wine!). Shit man, I never liked long hair on guys, but then I started listening to Nirvana (like obsessively listening to Nirvana and watching youtube videos daily) and decided I would totally hit Kurt Cobain and then I started watching the SF Giants and a lot of the guys on the team have long hair so I started to like it....then I started watching Son's of Anarchy and holy shit Jax is so hot....so I sit there on my bike, biking away and I drool over him!

I'm also doing a 31 day squat challenge with the hopes my fat ass thighs slim down a bit for my wedding. I'm pretty motivated at this moment in time and hope to drop 10 pounds in 2 months, shouldn't be too hard, right? : )

Movies: Rudolph and Love Actually are my favorites. I watched The Holiday with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz the other night and it was cute.

@rainbowbridge14 congrats on losing all those inches! I wish I could give up my carbs, but I'm a carb whore!

@theholmanherd good luck with the challenge it sounds fun!

@rainbowbridge14 that is soooo awesome about the wedding dress! Congrats on all you have accomplished! It is inspiring me to get it together and watch my diet and exercise!

@rainbowbridge14‌ about 50,000 combined. Not huge, but certainly bigger than my last town (5,000).

@rainbowbridge14‌-that is awesome!!! Congrats and glad to see the hard work is paying off!

@theholmanherd‌-that's sounds super cool, it would be fun to see a whole city come together to get fit!

@Tiko99‌ -nothing like dress shopping/measurements to give you motivation!


AFM-I am still maintaining, but I got a new workout program so I am super pumped to start that. I have just been in a weird funk of having trouble really getting going again after Thanksgiving and so I know I really need to step it up. I have plans to go to the gym this week and then starting next week really hit it hard again!

@lindy04aggie‌-money is a great motivator! The dietbet 3T/TTGP did a few months ago totally motivated me! And BTW-great job on the coke!

1. What are your weight loss goals? Just be healthy. I noticed I have gained a few pounds over xmas break so I'd like to get that back off plus a few more. I would like to be what I was when I got married haha.

2. What are you doing to loss weight? I went on a long jog yesterday plus lifted weights. I'm making lists of meals that I am trying hard to stick to. 

3. Any tips, recipes or workout information would be great. I've been doing weights on different parts of my body every day and it seems to work. I try to focus on different parts to feel like I'm getting a full body workout. Also I discovered a really yummy smoothie:

2 cups fresh watermelon

half cup coconut water

1 cup frozen strawberries (I use the Costco kind)

blend till smooth. It's delicious. Sometimes I add spinach leaves if I'm feeling extra healthy
