about us

We're from the Syracuse, NY, area and started dating when we went to BYU-Idaho for college. We were married December 2008 and have a daughter, Sophie. We will be welcoming a new baby in November 2013! We currently live in Mason, Ohio, near lots of family! Drew is working at Liberty Mutual Insurance as an Auto Claims Adjuster. Carissa is now a stay-at-home wife and momma! We know there's more in store for us in our future, and we say, "Come what may and love it!"

My "Get Healthy" Initiative

That's right, I'm finally getting motivated to lose these baby inches!
Today is day one.
The plan:
Eat healthy breakfast, snacks, and lunch
Eat smaller portion of whatever is for dinner
Drink lots of water
Only drink diet soda
Do some sort of activity to include cardio and core strengthening exercises
Take Sophie on a walk (a little cardio in there!)
Watch a LOT less TV
Make a check list every day to make sure I am proactive!

Announcing this on our blog may seem silly to you, but I think it'll help with my accountability. I NEED someone, or something, to keep me on track with my goal. I will need your help (if anyone reads this!) to keep me going. I know there may be times I'll want to "take a break" from this "Get Healthy" initiative, but I know it'll be the end of it if I stop at all. Will you help me stay on track?

As of right now, I don't have any sort of weight number or size number in mind that I want to get down to. I just want to feel healthier. My body is in poor shape. It needs to end now.

Let's do this!!

My only input at this point other than a pat on the back is cut out all soda. Even diet just puts unneeded sugars in your diet. You will feel healthier without it! Post baby weight loss is tough but worth it. Good luck!

Good luck! I have to agree with the "no soda" comment. Any time I drink it, I either feel completely drained all day or I get a burst of energy and crash in the afternoon. Walking with the stroller regularly helps! I like to set days of the week (like Tues, Thurs, and Sat) and have someone go with me if possible. That way I have someone to talk to and motivate me the whole way. Tell us how it goes.
