Shedding for the Wedding

Has anyone else seen the commercials for the new Sara Rue-hosted reality competition series, SHEDDING FOR THE WEDDING, which premieres on the CW tomorrow night?



So, yeah. While the concept itself is interesting, the show looks like it may be pretty cheesy. And I only really mention it because Derrick and I kind of have our own version of "shedding for the wedding" going on ourselves.

The two of us are, ashamedly, at our heaviest weights ever. And while, at under 200 lbs., neither one of us is anywhere near obese, we're both unhappy with the way we look and are determined to live a healthier lifestyle. We started a new fitness regime just before Christmas that includes getting up every weekday morning @ 6:00am to go to the gym combined with better eating habits . . . less eating out and then eating healthier when cooking at home. And now that we're officially engaged, we're even more determined to be in the best shape possible for the wedding . . . and hopefully shed several pounds in time for some official engagement photos in the spring as well.

The process won't be easy. We're both comfort food junkies with a tendency to disregard proper portion sizes. And I, for one, find it extremely difficult to wake up every morning at such an early hour. Thankfully we have one another for motivation. And we've just started attending the very aptly-named "Body Attack" classes at our local Gold's Gym, which are sure to help us reach our goals even faster. So keep your fingers crossed for us. And if anyone knows some healthy, flavorful recipes, please don't hesitate to pass them on our way! ~Warren
