Here we are; Tom and Paula; on The Cruise of Lights at Huntington Harbor this past December.
Tom and I will both be turning 50 this year (I in March, Tom in June) and we both had decided we wanted to work on getting healthier, eating better, and losing our 'food baby' as Jailene and Lil Alex loving call our tummies.
Now we could quietly go about our 'plan' and not share with anyone what we are doing, but if you know us, we like to help people and if sharing this journey helps even ONE person, then it was worth it. Plus it will help us keep ourselves in check and accountable to stay focused on our goal....
being "50 and Fabulous"
So I am a week behind in starting this, so we play catch up really quick this week and be back on track.
Tom and I had both put a little extra weight over the past couple of years, but we were both happy and content, so a little extra fluff was ok...
So come 2012 Tom said were starting Weight Watchers and we were sticking to it. No quitting.
So on January 2nd,2012 Tom and I went to Weight Watchers, weighed in, joined and attended our first meeting together. There is something to be said about doing this with someone with the same goal in mind. We keep each other accountable to the program and to our goal...50 and FABULOUS!!!!
I love you guys and I appreciate your blog and you have motivated me to get up and move! I am blessed to have you as my dear friends! <3
ReplyDeleteTom and Paula, you are the two most beautiful people I know! Your devotion to each other, to your family and to everyone who enters your life is truly inspiring. You are a blessing. I know you will both do well on your way to 50 and you will be "FABULOUS"! I love you both, my dear friends.
