I am FINALLY ready for all around GOOD health :)
Good afternoon, Buddies. Well, the closer that Jeff and I get and the further our relatinoship progresses, the more we talk about our overall health and the way we both live. It is no secret that I go out often and drink alot of beer. This leads to excessive cigarette smoking and has most definitely contributed to me being in the 180s for months. So my boyfriend, many of you know, has MS. He doesn’t take his medicine, eventho he lies and says he does. He smokes almost 2 packs of ciggs a day and often eats like SHIT. I try to be a good influence on him and in the summer we grilled alot and I snuck veggies into his diet. Since it has become colder, less grilling and we have been eating more takeout type foods. This STOPS now. also, we are both working on quitting smoking. It is almost 3 pm and I have had 3 ciggs. I am going to cut down more and more til I don’t smoke at all anymore. Just as in the weightloss, I am not going to put an unbearable pressure on myself because I want to be successful and I know I will. I want him to be as healthy as possible because I am pretty confident he is the one. I am also FINALLY joining a gym this afternoon. I am not going to class and I am going to stop after work and sign up at the gym that eh goes to. I need to tone up this body that has lost almost 100 punds and I want to encourage Jeff to go more. I am confident he will go more if I go with him. so it is a win win situation 
I am also trying new recipes for us so he will eat more like me. Last time I made grilled chicken and steak, cut up liek fajita meat, cut up avocados, tomato, green onion, bacon and served it all together. It was so delicious. Everything bad in it was in moderation, of course. He said it was the best food I had made for him yet. the recipe was on Rachel Ray’s foodnetwork page. I am back to counting calories today after a week off. I hope to see a loss this Friday or even just the 181 from two Fridays ago would be cool since I was up this past week. Holly and I have challenged eachother to get through these sticky patches and are motivating eachother to reach our goals! I am excited because I would love to see that 177 by december 15, my 30th birthday I hope u r all doing well and making GREAT choices. XoXoXo

Ooo, and I need to post the pics of me in the bridesmaid dress I wore in summer 2008 that I tried on the other day and posted on my facebook. The dress is a size 24 and now I wear a 10-12 so it is pretty unbelievable. I will post them either tonight or another night this week. It is unreal and I can’t even believe it and it is me!
Yup! We’re going to beat this!
When I met my husband the only veggie he ate was corn!
Jeff may be shocked on how much better he feels once he eats good and all that.
See? This is what I love. When two people bring out the BEST in eachother. That really says a lot.
I told Jeff corn and potatoes do NOT count as veggies in my BOOK
I also told him he would be suprised at how he will feel once he eats better! I know cause I am proof, right??? My friend and I wear just talking abt that this past weekend, Holls. Two yings or two yangs will NEVER work. We have to find the ying to our yang 
YAY!!! So glad you joined a gym. I hope you DO get Jeff on board.
LOVE YA!
yayy joining the gym and quitting smoking. Your doing it the right way honey I cut myself down to three or two a day then after a few months of that just cut it out completely. It was hard at first but then disappeared. You can do it!! I want to get in the 180s by my next convention in 6monthsish. Your pepper blog inspired me to eat some fresh peppers for snacks great idea!
Yay for you!!! I joined a gym too!!
It is great that the two of you are doing this together! Your food sounds yummy too!
