WHY WE ARE STARTING THIS BLOG





we are tired of making excuses why we can't work out or eat healthy.

there really is no excuse.
we have said:
"i dont have time." well wake up earlier and do it first thing.
"i can't afford a gym membership." you don't need one. you can watch videos online or go outside and start jogging! just start somewhere.
we started the fitness challenge over at mucho mucho bueno bueno and decided to give the whole challenge it's own blog.

so far we have been working out 10 days in a row and i feel amazing, i may not look amazing yet but the feeling is worth it!

Jacob -173 pounds/ 5'9" already lost 6 pounds
Brandi -130 pounds/ 5'3" already lost 4 pounds- i want to be stronger, leaner, and toned.
i don't want any rolls or cellulite. go away!

starting today we will share our work outs, photos, playlists, favorite work out gear and what we eat.






todays photo's.

our main problem area. our tummy's.
this morning i did 2 netflix videos just to change up my routine of running and working out outside. i did a 30 min video called CRUNCH and 15 minutes of a SELF video for your butt.
and i watched instantly, i didn't have to wait until they came in the mail.
i still plan on running 3 miles tonight after i get off work:)
my goal is to drink at least 8 glasses of water today.
i will post our meals tonight. i suggest keeping a food journal.
that way along the way you can see what you need to cut back on or it might make you think twice about eating it!

  4. Best food journal EVER! Congrats to both of you!!! I cant' wait to read all about your journey! I started P90X a month ago and the change is amazing not just in what I eat but how I think about food and how it directly effects my performance during workouts!

    GO FOR IT!!! YOU'LL BOTH DO GREAT! ox
