Christy Fitness Day 1

I have a wonderful fiance; his name is Chris. (Yes our names are very close... Chris/Christy... Just so long as you don't mistake us for New Jersey's Governor.) He proposed to me in epic fashion on 10/12/12.

Now begins the whirlwind that will be our lives until the wedding. Looking at myself in this video, I've come to the realization that while I do certainly love who I am, my body needs a little work. So begins the Christy fitness movement! I weighed myself this morning and I'm at 194.4. My goal is to lose 40 lbs by October 1, 2013. (Yes, we are planning an October wedding..) I have a year to shed this excess and I'm confident I can make it happen.

The Plan:
Move... a lot! My job is pretty sedentary, so I'm setting an alarm to get up from my desk and move every hour.

Work out a minimum of 4 times a week. Chris and I have been working out, however we aren't consistent and I need to make my workouts more challenging.

Portion control - Chris is a great cook so I want to eat every single thing he makes me. My diet consists of mainly fresh fruits, vegetables and lean meats. I'm just eating too much of it.

Journal - Write down everything that goes into my body.

Here we go universe! Let's make it happen!!
