Hello!!

I am finally here!  

alright, so my goal is to get to 160lbs.

I am currently 190.6!  (up 10lbs. since summer) 

Yikes! I can't believe I am publishing this

for the world to see! (okay, maybe not the world) 

As far as an exercise program, I am planning on taking 

a few classes at the YMCA each week  (this week I have already done 

a kick boxing class and a weight lifting class) 

and doing quite a bit of walking.  

I just signed up for the breast cancer 3 day walk.  Scheduled for

Sept. 11-13th.  It is a 60 mile walk over the three days. 

so, that means I will be doing some major walking to train for it! 

talk with you next week

Still In!

I know, we have been blogger slackers! But it is hard to post when it's not great news! We are still working hard, we have been doing much better since the first of the year. We weren't too great in December, well I wasn't, Rhett did pretty good through the holidays. He hit 205, but right now is right about 207. He keeps saying he is going to start lifting weights, we were going to do it here at home at night, but that is not happening, so we may get up another 1/2 hour earlier and lift before we go to the gym, I don't know how well that will go either.
I have decided to run/walk a 5k in May. I have been talking about it forever, but I am going to do it. So last Saturday I got on the treadmill and ran for 2 miles straight! I have never in my life done that, I have ran a mile, but that is the most I have done straight! I then walked a little and ran the rest to 3.2 miles and did it in 41:40. I am doing the treadmill every other day and spinning class on the other days. Friday I did 3.2 miles in 38:40, so hopefully I can continually shave time off. As it gets warmer I will start running outside, I know that is harder than on the treadmill, but it is way to cold for me right now!
So my numbers - not much news there - I did gain over the holidays (we had treats at school everyday!!!!!!) I started anew at the New Year at 187, and Friday I weighed in at 184.8. We are in this for the long haul. Even if it doesn't show on the scale, I am feeling so much better and it feels good to be getting in better shape!
Good job Cameron for loosing while on vacation! That is awesome! Your trip looked magical! Claudine

IS ANYONE STILL GOING TO DO THIS????

I will continue to post because it helps me. It is a sort of accountability I guess. We didn't post last week because we were on a great family vacation in southern California. Monday morning weigh in was;

Cameron 147.8 lbs. opps!!! I ment 247.8 lbs. (I like the other # better.)
Rebecca (I don't know) She will have to edit this.

It is a new year and this is the year for the cruise so get with it. We don't have to be to our goals to go so just keep up the good work. We are running in the mornings again. We did a bit during the break but not real consistently. Happy New Year!!!

Cameron

AND THE WORK CONTINUES!!!!

We have been weighing ourselves still but are not getting it on the computer. My weigh-in for Monday was 250.0 lbs.
I am not sure what Bec's weigh-in was so she can add that. We have not been working out real regularly during the Christmas break. We have been out running in the morning a couple of times and have taken the kids with us since they are out of school. We have been going to the college and running around the track and that is not as nice as running through the neighborhood. It gets old running in a circle time and time again. Our friends got the Wii Fit for Christmas and I set myself up on it and it told me that I am "obese", (real smart game!!!). I guess I still have some work to do!!!! I am still working on getting to 190 - 200 lbs. It will be nice when all the treats are gone and we get back to our regular routine of running in the mornings. I still have a long way to go, but I've already lost about 30 lbs.!!!! I will get there someday, right!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Cameron

Haven't fell off the Wagon

It appears that I have not been doing anything for sometime. I actually decided to take a week off after our 10K run. The following week I caught a cold and was down for another week. It has been 3 weeks now and I need to get back on the treadmill. I weighed myself this morning at 209.6. Good thing is I have been disciplined in my eating, but slacking in my exercises. Monday I plan to start up the program again. I am actually looking at doing another 10K in Roseville on Jan 10th. Anyone interested? There is also a 5K.

AMAZED & HAPPY & Also Ran!

OK I FINALLY DID IT! I BROKE THE 160 MARK! I was pretty happy to say the least when i got on the scale this week to see the numbers!

HERE THEY ARE

Rebecca 159.6! FINALLY!

Bec started this post the other day very late one evening and didn't finish. I know it. Something about falling asleep at the computer or something. She was very excited and as always, looks great.

Me, well after finally getting below the 250 mark last week, I decided that I would go back.

My weighin was 250.8 lbs. (I was not very excited to see it.)

We ran one day this past week. It has been cold in the mornings (by California standards) and we finally got out on Thursday. We may need to figure out some other way to get the jogging in because we are getting into the rainy season or we may just get wet as we run. We need to keep up the exercise though.
It is the season of treats and parties and EATING! I know if we keep up the exercise, enjoy the holidays and try to save some food for other people, we will make it through to the new year and still keep loosing. That is what we are hoping for. Merry Christmas everyone! We are getting in shape so now and when we are older we can be in the service of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Keep up the good work everyone!
Cameron & Rebecca

IT IS PAST TIME TO WRITE!!!!

Another week has past. We missed our entry for last week. Our weigh in for last week (12/1):
Bec - 165.0 lbs
Cameron - 250.2 lbs

This is our weight for today:
Bec - 162.6 lbs
Cameron - 248.6 lbs (I finally broke the 250 barrier!!!!)

Both of us feel like we have been bouncing up and down all month with our weight. It has been a little frustrating. We are glad to see our weight going down again. I also have some good news to report. I have dropped one pant size! I put on a pair of pants that I had to put away I don't even remember when. This happened last week as well.

Now we would like to hear from the rest of you. I know we are all busy with the holidays but if we are going to make it through without undoing all our hard work we have got to stick together!

Good luck! Merry Christmas to you all!

Cameron & Bec
