My Attempt at Fitness

So Courtney is over a year and a half old now, and I can no longer use the excuse "I just had a baby". (Actually I think that excuse flew out the window many many moons ago). I had lost all the baby weight within the first 6 months or so, but having a baby tends to leave you a bit less toned and a bit more, shall we say...jiggly, in areas. Nobody wants that, right?
So I organized a walking workout program for anyone in my ward who wanted to join me with diet tips and weekly challenges, point trackers, and prizes to keep us motivated and moving forward. Today was day one, there's about 5+ of us who actually meet together to walk, and about 10 others who just want the papers and they'll exercise on their own. So there's attempt number one to tone up.
Attempt number 2~ Today is day two of my low-carb diet. Jeremy's mom introduced me to this diet, she has lost quite a bit with it, so I thought I'd give it a go as well. The first 2 weeks are a little hard, but i've already dropped a pound. I sure do miss good tasting food though. Yesterday was a bad day to start. I had to pass up pizza, cake, and ice cream for Brigham's birthday. I did, however, get one slice of thin crust spinach, garlic, and chicken pizza, though it just about knocked out my entire carb allowance for the day. But not the 2 or 3 pieces of the loaded pizza that I normally would have had.
Anyway, wish me luck with these first 2 weeks. 20 carbs a day is a lot harder than you'd think!
