The Ultimate Sacrifice

No, okay, not the ultimate sacrifice, but a pretty big one. For lent (no, I'm not religious in the slightest, tiniest little way), I'm giving up soda. It's a good way to jump start weight loss, and... well, it's not like it's good for me. I considered giving up caffeine altogether, then came to my senses and decided soda was a good place to start.

Consider this your warning.

In all seriousness, I don't think it'll be that bad. It'll just mean remembering to prep up tea or something for myself to have during the day instead. I enjoy it just as much, though there will definitely be days when I want my Dew fix. Are you giving up anything for Lent?

A Healthy New Year

The time has come once again to go "Oh, crap, I need to be healthier." Pregnancy and the craziness of Pike's birth threw Wes and I a bit off track from our goals in that arena, but it's a new year. We're rededicating ourselves to losing some inches, losing some pounds, and gaining a little muscle tone. We've got a bouncing baby boy who will soon be expecting us not only to sit and play with him and carry him around but also chase him, play catch, run... god only knows. Terrifying. In any case, we'll need some sort of cardio capacity to handle it.

Wish us luck! FYI, I've started back up with SparkPeople toward that end, so you can find me at username beth_wilde if you're using the site as well. If you aren't and you're trying to lose some inches or pounds or get in shape or whatnot, I strongly suggest it. It's free, and you can do anything from chatting to counting calories to tracking exercise to getting meal plans.

Inspiration?

Okay, I need to get back to exercising more. Give me inspiration! What's your favorite exercise? Whether it's equipment or a game or a sport or whatever, tell me. And remind that I need to get off my backside sometimes ;)
