Seriousness

Nikki here...

Yes, I know I wrote a post last night...but I am writing another! Yayy me!

I just got back from Jessies (I feel as if she is my girlfriend, I see her everyday for atleast 4 hours).  We were watching this tv show on MTV (yes...MTV) called "I use to be fat."  Okay, we were watching this to feel better about ourselves, but that was not the case!

This whole show is about a person losing weight for a time period over 4 months.  This specific one happened to be a younger guy who lost over 100 pounds during this time.  All he did was eat leaner and exercised.  Seriously?!  Jessie and I aren't even THAT big...and we still havent found time to just get serious.

Needless to say...after the show we decided to get super serious.  It's going to take harsh comments from one another to get right.  Oh well...

I don't eat meat on the daily; in fact I could probably go months without eating meat.  I dont dislike meat...I just rarely crave it.  Meat has protein, though.  I need protein.  Instead of eating meat I will try this "veggie" meat called Morning Star.  My sister got me started on this when I moved in with her.  It actually tastes like meat and has protein in it.  I could deal with that. 

And when I am not working...I will ride my bike more.  I know its not "running" or anything like that, but it is cardio and I thoroughly enjoy riding my bike.  It makes me feel kind of "hippie" in my weird sort of world.  What I really want to do by the beginning of next summer is to do a bike-a-thon.  Nothing serious...just about 30 miles.  That is not much, but it will be a bit of a challenge.  How hott would I be then looking all suave coming across that finish line?! Booyahhhh

Calorie intake: about 1200 every day from now on.  I havent really even been eating this much...but I definitely need to watch my portions.  Jessie is doing this, too.  I downloaded an app on my iPhone called "loseit."  It's pretty legit.  If you can get this application...do it.  It's pretty simple and fatty friendly. 

What would be really awesome though...would be for ALL OF YOU to be super stern and tell us like it is.  Not too harsh, we have feelings, but just let us know that you are there.  Watching...because if we dont lose this weight we will be super embarrassed.  :/

&& I don't want my future nephew thinking he has a fat auntie.  Although he would be too young to think that, he needs a good accessory to go along with his cuteness: that'd be me!

Get on our asses people! 

Peace, love, and...veggie meat!
