Hey Family!
I have been thinking a lot about this lately and I, personally, want to get more active, fit and healthy. I just want an overall healthier lifestyle. This is something I have been wanting to do for a long, long time and each time I attempt to actually start exercising and eating healthy on a regular basis... it doesn't last long.
The other day I was watching The Biggest Loser and once again, I was inspired! But I noticed that before I even committed myself, I gave up because I figured I would just fail again.
I thought maybe if I have a support system, I could do it and who better to have as my support system then my biggest support system... my family!:)
Sooo... I want to know if you guys will do this with me? This is my road to a healthier lifestyle and I obviously can't do it alone.
I thought maybe we could use this blog to share our struggles and progress along the way. We could all make monthly goals that we could break down into bite size pieces and set specific weekly goals that will help us accomplish our monthly goals and be each others support group and accountability partners to make that happen!
Also, I think it would be fun to share healthy tips with each other and healthy recipes and just be each others support group along the way to getting healthy. (because let's be honest, we all need it.)
And then, in September, we could all run a 5k together as a family! There are a few 5k's going that month, but I think it would be fun if we ran the 'Strides for Autism' but I'm definitely open to doing whatever!
I am opening this up to everyone in the family who wants to join. I asked a few of you already if this is something you would want to do with me, and so far Mom, James, Jerr, and Amy said they are on board! So I'm hoping everyone joins us in our journey!!
Obviously, I won't force you to do it and I will still love you if you don't, I just think the bigger the support group, the better for all of us! We all love and want what is best for each other and, of course, we all want us to be around for as long as possible, so I figured we might as well do our part to make that possible.
Love you all,
Aly
If you want in, go ahead and just send me a facebook message with your goal for this month and what you'll do weekly to achieve it and I'll put your picture up as well as your goal written underneath (look at examples on the right) and I'll also set up a section for you on the 'Weekly Reports' page and add you as an author to the blog! :) WOO!
