1st week

Sorry it is late and is not monday but here we are anyways... 


so we kind of didn't stick to any diet routine at all the fair came in town and we were volunteered to work there... and well... we ate  lot of bad food. 

we continued to physical activity:

 i do the elliptical and walk with my family. 
Ariane walks by the lake in the morning. 

this is not a quick fix so we are going to fail the road to success and healthy life style changes are not going to happen over night. 

we are regular people fighting with a real popular problem weight loss. 

our popular meal choices this last week or so are:

breakfast:

greek yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit together

or 

everything beagle with peanut butter or almond butter 

lunch:
salads with veggie burgers 
or
string cheese, yogurt, nuts, and a pb&j [arianes favorite]
or
leftover dinner from last night (always for dinner try to only eat half of whats on your plate and save the rest for later) [what i usually do]

dinner:
nothing specific but try to cut down on starches and if you cant switch to all whole wheat.... like pasta, breads... try to have more than 1/2 of your plate in greens.

Introduction

Hi,

My name is Destiny and this is a blog about my journey to fitness with the support of my friend Ariane. We are pretty out of shape but, you have to start somewhere and this is where we start. 



Back story:
We met not too long ago when she started going to UBC with me in the cosmetology program and we just clicked... And ever since than she's my BFF lol. 

Our goals:

Both want 80/100 lbs dropped in one year.
And to graduate for cosmetology school together. 
Once we hit our goal we want to tone


Starting points:

Destiny- 240 July 26th 2013

Ariane- not allowed to put, July 26th 2013


Plan:

Our plan is very simple. Eat healthy, workout daily, and weight in every Monday. Our 1st weight in will be this Monday (29th of july) when we officially start our 1 year journey to a better/longer healthy life. 

Posts:

I will post pictures (starting out) and blog once a week. It will have recipes or foods we're loving, what we did for exercise, and what we have lost. we will do once a month pictures of our progress. 

If you are reading this and going to follow along our journey I would love to see your progress and what you are doing. 

Thanks!
