Hi Everyone,
This is my first time joining. I'm Robin. DH and I will be celebrating our 18th anniversary this month. We have 3 girls, an Australian Shepherd and a Great Dane puppy. We live in North Texas. I'm a stay-at-home-mom.
A couple summers ago, DH and I both did a low-carb diet. It was kind of miserable, but we both lost 30lbs. Then, you guessed it, we gained it back over the next year. So, I am really trying to make permanent life changes that I can live with and keep weight off!
My goal for this month will be 70,000 steps a week. I am currently wearing a Microsoft Band, but my Fitbit is charging now and I think I'll switch back to my that. I would love to add some Fitbit friends once I get that set up again.
It's very hot here, so I will probably be walking on my treadmill. I enjoy walking outside much more, but not in this weather. During the past year I have been trying hard to get more real food, less sugar, etc, into our house. It's an ongoing struggle. Eventually, I would like to follow the eating guidelines of 5-6 fruits and veggies per day, 2-3 servings of healthy carbs and one serving of dessert. I feel like that is something I could stick to. Also, I'm going out today to get a Fitness Planner, so I will try to write down what I eat and keep track of that.
Thanks for letting me join!
