Happy day and frustrating day...

So today I felt good and thin. It was a nice feeling. We went walking up the canyon with my family too. Well we came home and did the body testing on wii fit. Well as fate would have it I had gained wait. I am less than what I started, but have gained in the last 3 days. Marc has lost 5 pounds. Can someone please explain how that happens. I have been very strict on what I eat and water intake and all that. Marc was a bit sloppy this past week and ate way more than me. How does he lose 5 pounds and me gain? Sorry I know that is a bit of venting, but it's such a joke. I'm really scared that I won't lose the weight like last time. It took until I was pregnant with kate to lose weight. Anyway... might have something to do with fighting a cold and we did sit Friday out. I wanted to start over, but Marc said a sick day is fine. We did go walking on Sunday. Sunday is a free day. This week we are camping and it will be interesting to see how the results pan out for next week. I really hope they balance out with how I feel.

We've signed up!

Marc and I have decided to take the fitness challenge on the website www.bodyforlife.com and we're excited! It's a site that is free and has tips and healthy eating strategies. One of the tips is to let our friends and family know that we are dedicated to this 12 week body workout and to let you know our beginning stats. I promise these aren't pretty, but it's a great start!
Ok stats from high school first.

Marc: 175 lbs and 6' Size 34

Heidi: 135 lbs and 5' 7" Size 6 (26 in guys)

after mission and college and then marriage and two babies these have changed!

Marc: 217 lbs and 6' Size 36

Heidi: 200 lbs and 5' 7" Size 16 (36 in guys)

Reasonable goals after 12 week challenge:

Marc: 195 lbs and size 34

Heidi: 170's and a size 12 (32 in guys)

We tell you these out of our willingness to change. Not for you to poke fun or blab about them. After 12 weeks of our challenge we want to be fit. Yes lower numbers would be fabulous, but our overall goal is to go hiking and camping and being able to do fun things without getting out of breath. We'll keep you posted on our stats every week and how the challenge is going!
