The Y

Jon and I received money from both parents for a 6 month family membership to the YMCA. So far we have gone everyday since Monday. We also both met with a personal trainer to go over our goals and how to achieve them. My plan is to go to group classes. It's one hour of exercise that doesn't feel like one hour of exercise. I have a problem with accountability when it comes to dieting and exercise. Going to group classes should help with that. Having Jon come with should also help. Jolynn LOVES the care center. Hard to pry her away from it. I know she is having fun when she doesn't want to leave. She must also be getting a lot of exercise because she comes home and pretty much goes straight to bed and sleeps hard through the night.

Jon introduced me to an app for my Android called Lose It. They have a website too. www.loseit.com This is going to be another way to hold myself accountable. You can have your friends join and they can see everything you do or eat. They can post comments to motivate you. The app tracks your intake of calories and your output of calories through exercise. It has you set a goal and then depending on your starting weight gives you a deadline to accomplish it.
