The 12 week challenge!!

So Here's The deal... My cousin Naomi is starting this thing she calls the '12 week challenge'. Which basically consists of eating healthy, working out, and just plain old taking care of yourself. She's starting it because her husband is coming back from the navy in a little over 12 weeks, which is an awesome reason. After I read her blog about it, I decided it sounded like a great idea for me. Not only because I'm getting a little thicker than I would like but also because by the time I'm done with it, it will be right around thanksgiving and all those other fantastic, food filled holidays. So it will be good to slim down before those days rather than just packing more lbs on like we tend to do every year. So today is my day 1 of the 12 week challenge and so far I've done my work out for the day, thrown away all the crap in my fridge and ate a pretty healthy breakfast with fruits and things like that. My main goal is to work out 5 times a week, portion control, and watch me sweets intake. My other BIGGEST problem is that I work at a restaurant from 10;30-5 everyday and despite what most people think, we at Ruby Tuesday do NOT eat food that's been sent back, made by mistake and we're not allowed to order any while we're still on the clock. So my boyfriend came up with the idea to just take in a meal replacement drink like slim fast or boost. yay Kole! He always has good suggestions. So here I go... Day 1. and wish me luck!!! You can join in too ya know! It'll be good for you and you know you want too!!!:)
