Neglect is just another word for letting everything slip away.

I know I have been neglecting this blog, but NO MORE! I have decided to reinvest in this blog and track my husband's and my health and weight loss goals, as well as our changing lifestyle.  So that being said lets do an Update type post for today and then I will do weekly post about whats happening and what we are doing.

I think one of my past post was about computer problems. We have since gotten a mac book pro so no more computer related issues. Knock on wood. We also moved recently. We stayed in the same place just a different part of town is all.

We quit our gym membership to reduce money issues. Which was ok because we had really stopped going. Since then we have started going back the the gym and I will probably do a post about how and why we choose a gym and which one won out in our decision.

As far as weight goes I have been maintaining the same weight for a while now at 300 or so. Not something that I am happy about all but I have been switching jobs and changing my routine lately. Which of course added to our gym decisions. Jay has been maintaining at 289 lately but we have not really made a whole lot of plans for the next little while. We have just really been maintaining lately. Plus he hurt his shoulder at work recently so we have been trying to take it easy on him. So we might do an injury related post as well.

Jay and I have decided recently that we might want to entertain the thought of having a baby. My sister just had her son and we love our nephew so much that we now have baby fever, I guess. So that is another reason why we would like to get going again on our weight loss goals.

Now that you are all caught up on things. Looking forward I am going to try to post by Wednesday because that is my last day off so it seems like a good thing to shoot for. I am thinking of all kinds of post now not just ones related to weight loss and workouts, mostly because this page is called "Shaping Up Our LIFESTYLES" not "Shaping up on our bodies alone." I just feel like there is so much more to our lifestyle than just working out and working on weight loss. Jay and I are people of course and we want you to know that if we can do these things you can do them too, even if you fumble, stumble, and sometimes trip and fall. We are too and that's ok. So lets just be our clumsy selfs and go on this journey to improve our lifestyles together.
