Seeing some progress...

So Amy and I have been working out at the Y now for a little over a month, and well, we are finally starting to see some progress... And it couldn't have come sooner for me! I was truly getting frustrated with the whole ordeal, gaining, then loosing, then gaining, the whole roller coaster ride was starting to wear thin on my nerves, and my self esteem.

With a some hard work, and time spent at the Y, I am happy to say I have Officaly lost 10 pounds, and Amy has lost more than 5! A big thank you to everyone who motivated us, and encouraged me. i'm happy this is all starting to pay off! Please keep encouraging us, We both have a ways to go!

uggh!

I don't know what I'm doing wrong! I have been sold out to this whole eating healthy and working out routine for over 2 weeks now, and it seems to keep back firing! I just don't get it!... It seems like no matter what i do, i keep gaining weight. I cut out pop, sugary juice, fast food, switched to FF milk, i eat yogurt for breakfast, and have healthy soup for lunch, cut out snacking, work out 3 times a week, and I'm still gaining weight! This is so unbelievably frustrating... i don't know what to do any more...

Team Browne Joins the YMCA

So its official, Amy and i have been members of the Y for about a week now, and I honestly have to say its the best thing we could have done for ourselves!
I had been feeling really down the past few weeks, when i discovered I had gained 17 pounds since we got married, and was back over 300 pounds. I have a poor body image as it is, so this wasn't helping.
We had been talking to randy and shannon about the YMCA for awhile. They had been members for quite sometime, and I was impressed with there diligence and results.
So amy and I decided it was time to push the excuses aside, and get right with ourselves! and I have to tell you, I'm starting to feel better already!

Kicking off the holiday season!

Amy and I went to my aunt and uncles for thanks giving, the food is always amazing, and plenty of it. This year was no exception! I tried to eat my weight in mashed potatoes, while Amy was particularly fond of our cousins fruit salad. We had a great time catching up with family, and playing board games. Amy found a sweet spot on the couch and let the turkey do its thing! Later that evening we all pulled names for our annual secret Santa gift exchange, (ill tell you who i got later) All in all it was a fantastic family thanksgiving!

Friday night we decided to head downtown for the lighting ceremony, we met up with Randy and Shannon, and found Glen, and bumped into a bunch of family and friends!

The rest of the weekend, Amy and I spent Christmas shopping, and setting up our Christmas decorations for inside the house. We are so excited to be able to decorate our OWN house this year!

So it seems like we are off to a great start of this holiday season, I can't wait to see what it brings this year!

Thanks for Reading!
