First blog post, and first dietbet ever.... hello to both :)
I'm naturally a happy person, annoyingly cheerful, and obnoxiously bubbly. I also LOVE food. If I could actually make a living eating pure deliciousness 24/7, I would totally commit to it. My problem is that I am happy eating beyond what I should be eating to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle (and horrible spelling, my apologies ahead of time). Yes I'm perfectly content continuing to eat something because it tastes amazing; rather than stopping because I'm full. Obesity runs in the family... not in a genetic sense, verses most of my family members make terrible choices when it comes to food and portion control. And I know that I am well on my way in that direction.
It has been difficult for me to use happiness as a fitness drive, because I am happy being fit and also completely content being overweight wearing yoga pants year round.
My wonderful husband and I have been on both sides of the spectrum of fitness. So extreme, we should be considered Bipolar with our health. One minute we are Paleo, juicing, and marathon training... then the next we are enjoying fried pork belly guzzling sweet tea, and gaining 10lbs a month.
But, we are tired of jumping into fitness routines and diets that don't fit our lifestyle (we have 6 children together), and truley want the best of both worlds: To eat delicious food (a lot), and to look and feel amazing/with enough energy to play hard.
So, this challenge is a great way for me to kick this goal into gear. Can't say I have a weight loss goal, because I just want to feel in shape inside and out... and have it stick. The ability to complete more than one set of burpees without wanting to throw-up, run a few miles on a weekly basis, play a double-header with the family without a shin-splint or injury, ect.
Good luck everyone!!!
