Time for a change...

Hi Carla here ! Kacy did a great job of explaining why we started this blog. I am going to tell you why I personally I am choosing to change my life. There are several reasons why I want to become healthier, but I have one main goal at this very moment. I want to have a baby.... Long story made short... I have been told my entire life it would be hard to get pregnant. Well when you are 60 pounds over weight, it makes it even more difficult. I went to the Dr. last week, and was told if I lose 40 lbs then she will prescribe the medication to help me ovulate. So I have 1 mission on my mind right now... LOSE 40 POUNDS !!! Once that is done, then I will work on the other 20 :)

Of course there are lots of reason to lose weight, and get healthy... but for me, at this very moment-
 its all about the babies!

I am so grateful that Kacy has decided to help me and join me in this journey! Like she said we have been friends since 1998 , and only lived in the same town for 6 months. God defiantly had some serious plan for our friendship, and thank goodness we have followed through with his plan!

So keep up with us.... the ups,downs, success and not so successful moments with Kacy and I !!! We will laugh, cry, be serious and make light of some serious situations. Hopefully through this blog, you will see how different Kacy and I are, but how we have always loved each other, and had each others backs!

Peace, love and babies-
Carla

Why we do what we do...

Hi Kacy here! Making my first  blog entry in our Thousand Mile Diet. Your probably wondering why "Thousand Mile Diet". Let me first say its not because Carla and I need to loose a thousands pounds :) Since we first met in 1998 we have only lived in the same city for 6 months but have managed to stay close friends even with all the miles between us. We have lived states and countries away from each other.
We are both married to men that love us unconditionally not matter how much unnecessary weight we are caring around on us. Both have an amazing family that is encouraging and available to us. We have both finally reach a point in our life that we have more than just ourselves to live for.
Its time for a complete lifestyle change. Getting rid of bad eating habits and incorporating new healthy habits. Including exercising regiments, sleep routines and what we allow into our minds and souls.
This blog is going to be a place for us to daily encourage each other to hold the other accountable for her choices. We are also asking for your help as well.
