Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[WVURunner]

I just stumbled across this part of the DISboards and it couldn't have come at a better time!

Backstory: I was athletic and active in high school and then I went away to college where I duel majored in aerospace and mechancal engineering and had no time to work out. I gained weight all through college. I got a job that required me to travel 75% of the time so I was eating out and working 80 hr weeks. When my Dad died suddenly, I decided I needed a life change and started to run to get rid of the stress from work and my life. I lost 60 lbs by making a point to put my health and workouts before work, watching what I was eating and giving up soda. After my weight loss, I got back into running, I had run track in high school and even went to States. I met my husband, got engaged and was motivated by my wedding dress. We ran the WDW marathon together shortly after we were married.

So fast forward to now: We have been married 1.5 years and I have fallen back into some old habits, have gained about 20 lbs back and need some motivation. Once I had completed the marathon, I stopped training as I felt as I had reached my peak. My husband is 6'5" and weighs 170. He is a beanpole who eats non-stop. He is a 2.5 hr marathoner and eats like it. He is always eating and therefore I eat. Plus, there is so much junk food in our house, something I never had at my apartment. Hubby does all the grocery shopping and cooking, which I am thankful for but it is killing me! We are going on a cruise in May and lots of my dresses are tight or don't fit. I would like to lose 10 lbs before the cruise and then more weight once we get back. I hate the fact that I am back into the 200's again(in my defense, I am over 6' tall)

So I am going to commit myself to:
running 4x a week with spin class 2x a week and lifting.
Stop eating when I am full (and don't keep eating just because hubby put it on my plate)
Have hubby pick up healthy snacks (and hide the girl scout cookies)
Put my eating habits in my hands and not my hubby's
Elimate Alcohol

hopefully this will keep me accountable!

Those sound like excellent goals!! I definitely think it will help if DH knows you are trying to get fit. Maybe he can make smaller portions or you can use a smaller plate. Keep us updated! And have fun on your vacation!

Had to stop by this thread since I hadn't in awhile and say that I've met my goal Started earlier this year at 136, as I'd been slipping into old habits since my past Disney trip in 2011. Back to eating better and it feels great. Original goal was 125 but stepped on the scale yesterday and was surprised it was 122. And guys- NO starvation involved. Three meals a day, especially breakfast! I've eaten a little junk too along the way, the key is simply moderation.

So thanks again to the boards for helping me out. Guess I'd like to be 120 for my trip, almost there. After that, will just look to maintain. Oh and PS- first time I ever posted in this thread in 2009, I was 153. I've come a long way since then and the am thrilled! :D
