After being together 8 years we have decided to take on the monster we know as a diet. We have both been over weight all our lives and need this change. I have tried many diets and gloria has never attempted so this will be a challenge for both of us especially since we are doing this together. We have a 2 year old son and we do not want him to follow in our foot steps of being obese. We want to be healthy and fit parents so we can set that example for our son.
We have decided to take the million pound match challenge as a way to motivate ourselves to have better lives as well as helping change the statistics of overweight people in america. We want nothing more than to succeed with this challenge. We deserve to win because this will help improve our lives and also the lives of our family. We think this is the opporutnity we need to be here for our son.

Michael's Thoughts

So the diet and exercise has had it ups and downs but I am loving it. I am not officially going to spinning class three times a week. I think it helps that I go straight there after work. Well I hope everyone is doing great. I enjoy reading everyones blogs.

Gloria's Thoughts

So having a two year old son does not leave me much time to come on here and leave blogs. So this week has been a challenge for me. Getting used to dieting and exercise has been hard for me. I have had some challenges but I am working though them. Michael has been so supportive. Everytime I want to quit he does not let me and he reminds me of why we are doing this. One pound lost is not a lot for some people but it is a HUGE step for me. I will reach my goal. Thanks for everyones support.

Spinning Class

So today I went to my first ever spinning class. There is a reason why big people dont ride bikes. My butt hurts so bad and so do my legs. But I will be going back on thursday because I am determined to get through the class. I was sweating in places I didn't even know could sweat. Tongue out

Have any of you ever tried a class like this? Luckily one of my friends showed up and made me feel comfortable. Better luck next time to me. Hope everyone is doing well.

Michael's Thoughts

So today Gloria and I decided to go to the gym. What an adventure that was. I have been to the gym before but Gloria has never been. This is the first time I have gone to the gym in my home town so the fear of seeing someone I know was constantly on my mind. So I got my big butt on the tredmill and was able to do 30 minutes of cardio run/walking so I am very proud of myself. So in the next couple of weeks I will be running like the best of them. I am also very proud of Gloria. She has done things these last couple of days that I thought she would never do. Well I hope everyone is doing good on there diets and exercise.

PS The whole time I was on the machine I was picturing Jillian in my face yelling and motivating me!!!! Smile
