Losing Weight


I don't know why we started all of a sudden, i know i was trying ever since i had brooklyn, but its hard when you have someone else living with you that is not on the same eating habits you are. so one day we both slowly decided we need to cut our weight down. This is the heaviest we both have been, (besides pregnancy) and we have. We count all our calories, we dont go to the extreme to write down each calorie we eat but we are aware of what we should have a in a day and try to stick with it.. grocery shopping is funny. you know that aisle in wal-mart that is full of cookies, crackers, and junk! well we go down that aisle every trip still and we don't put a single thing in our cart. we look at all our food we USED to eat. and will on occasion and realize wow...120 calories for 3 cookies is that worth it. so we are stick on our 100 calories snacks. that are very yummy. eric is enjoying his sprite 0 and diet sodas. we are very happy... eric saw the look on my face when i fit into a pair of pants he hasn't seen me in since we were dating! yeah very exciting. we still have a while to reach our weight..well at lease my weight. but it is slowly becoming a habit.. we enjoy...we are looking into running some sort of xx K some time but we'll see.
