And So It Begins

Today Jen and I went to The Torch for lunch and mapped out our plan to successfully complete The Crim on Aug. 22, 2009.

It was my last big hurrah with the bad food. Sad face. Fortunately, it helped us get a lot of our ideas on paper. So now we've got ideas for exercise, scheduled buddy work out days, rewards, healthy eating ideas, a grocery shopping attack plan, ideas for motivation and Jen has even recruited the help of a friend, who just so happens to be a personal trainer. 

I think Jen and I will be really good for each other with this. She's determined when she wants to be and I remember her scary ways from back in my roller derby days. Her practices were like boot camp! And I've already told her, I will not be stood up on my buddy-exercise days! 

This is going to be so good for me. My ultimate goal is to finish the 5k of the Crim and to lose 40 pounds by the end of the year.

Our first weigh-in is Jan. 4. We start the journey o' health and fitness Jan. 5. I'm a little scared. What have I gotten myself into?! *eep*
