Garth and I are on a serious diet. We have been waking up at 5a.m. this past week to workout everyday. We eat healthy and light and we do not eat past 7p.m.
It is so hard to do. Seriously. We were watching a movie Monday night and all the main characters did was eat. It was pure torture! But we were good accountability partners and we did not give in. We had to help talk each other out of grabbing a snack but we did it.
Today we both weighed ourselves and we are both 2 pounds lighter! This was just the motivation we needed. I was up at the crack of dawn this morning kickboxing and I'll be running at the gym tomorrow morning so I can be 2 pounds lighter next week.
Our goal is to loose 8 pounds by Nov. 26. Why this specific day? Well, this is the day we travel to Florida so we want to be in great bathing suit shape and 8 pounds should do the trick.
The catch? If you know Garth, you know we have to make this a competition. Soooo the first person to loose 8 pounds first wins! If Garth wins, he scores a big screen TV, but if I win I get tickets to see "Wicked." Let the games begin! So far it's tied up at 2lbs. each!

YAY congrats to you!!!!! I hope you win those "Wicked" tickets :)
Go guys! This is awesome and I wish you much luck and success! I dropped about 10 lbs earlier this year {stomach problems} but it really taught me to change my diet and I feel great for it. Keep us posted!
that is such a cute idea!! i hope you get to see wicked :) but i hope you both get to your goal :) congrats!
ohhh I hope you win!
What a great idea to keep each other motivated!
Nice work!!! Josh gets home so late that the no eating after 7 thing won't work for us... but that's an awesome idea :-)
That is great! However I live in Florida and I am not too sure if you will be wearing your bathing suits...it's cold here this month!
What great motivation! It's always easier to lose weight when you have someone to do it with you.
Hope you get those Wicked tickets!
Oh, good for you Miss LTBAW, how cool!
If only we had the internal fortitude to do the same... sigh.
Grins & Giggles,

How fun! YOu guys lose weight the fun way! :) Good luck to you both, and for you - I hope you win because Wicked is my FAVE!
Yay! Good luck to the both of you! 2 pounds a week is a good healthy target. I'm hoping to be 2 pounds lighter by Monday!
Woo Hoo!!! Go Lindsey go!!!
That's awesome! Diets are definitely hard, but worth it! Just have to keep it up after the "diet" is over. Hehe...
I just started a diet too, and I'm down 4 lbs! It's nice to see results, otherwise it would be hard to keep it up!
Such a great way to lose weight!!
Awesome idea, I'll be rooting for you. Seeing Wicked would be A-mazing!!
well thank you! I love the your blog title! I guess you can say i'm in the same boat of learning to be a wife!
Girl! You can DO IT!
Keep up the great work! In the end you'll both be {winners} :)
Great goal and great plan!
