100 in 10!

Howdy Folks -

I just returned from a very successful business trip to Dallas, Texas. While I was there it was colder then it was in Anchorage, why does that keep happening?

Anyway, now that I am home we are really turning our eyes towards 2010. One of our biggest goals in the new year has to do with health. We are approaching this on 2 fronts: what we do and what we eat. We are going to try and be more active, especially in the winter months. During summer we are out a lot hiking, camping, going on walks, but in the winter we tend to be inside and less active. This also will include what we eat. Our biggest targets will be to cut back on late night eating & snacking and eat more at home and less out at restaurants. This will allow us to control what goes into what we eat. Also, for Christmas we got a juicer and we are going to juice a lot more, (we have already started doing this!) because this can be an easy way to get essential nutrients that we are not currently getting enough of.

So, health can actually be a tough thing to judge and weight loss is certainly one aspect of it, however, it can be the most easily judged aspect of it. So, we looked at our weight, looked at what we have lost when we have been active and we both think that our goal is attainable, yet challenging. So, for 2010 we are aiming to lose a combined 100 pounds! Wow, that seems like a lot. However, in the summer of 2008 we lost about 50 pounds in a 3 month period when we were both really pushing hard.

We have added a "tracker" to the upper right hand side of this page and we will try and remember to update it weekly with anything that has been lost.

Hopefully 2010 will be a year of great change! We look forward to having you on our journey!
