To make a long story short, I fell off the wagon for awhile. I had to have the big toenails removed from both my feet, they got so ingrown it was painful to put on shoes or stand up. It took months for that to heal. In the meantime I put twenty pounds back on. And then winter set in. The pinched nerve in my back has been kicking my ass big time and I can't stand up for more than 5-10 minutes at a time.
Two months ago my niece started a Biggest Loser challenge at her work. One month ago my wife and I got copies of the same DVD she has been using and started working out in the mornings. We haven't been extremely consistent with it but we are getting better about it. For half an hour each morning we get up and work out. It's not easy, the pinched nerve and my bad knees make some of the stuff rather difficult really. It is rather nice to have my wife by my side while I work out though.
Good news, I have lost those twenty pounds that I had put back on already! My wife hasn't lost any weight yet though and she goes on a half hour walk with our dog afterward as well as working out with me in the mornings. She keeps a better eye on what she eats as well. It's a bit discouraging for her, I imagine she is just putting on muscle mass right now and that the weight loss will start soon.
Taj and I are planning on cooking more of our meals as well, less additives in our diet should help us both. Having to stand up and move around to prepare the food helps too, every little bit counts.
