Are you there blog? It's me, Jennifer

Whew, ok here we are.. my FIRST ever blog post! I have evolved! In the last 2-3 months I have decided to take back my life. I'm taking it back from the bad food choices, the overeating, overindulging - or at least I'm trying.

I had followed my friend Lori's twitter for a while and had seen her posting about ShrinkingJeans.net, I decided to be a joiner.. and I am so glad I did! I joined their last challenge 'Shrinkvivor' and lost 20 lbs! So when they came out with 'Holiday Hoe Down' I jumped at the chance to join! 6 ladies with virtually the same goal, to support and motivate each other.. we are the "Jiggle Belles"! (Did you all hear that last part like it was Charlie's Angels? Cuz I did!)

As part of the non fitness challenge, ShrinkingJeans wants us to outline our weightloss goals. So, without further ado.. here it is:

How much do you want to lose? Well, I want to lose at least 15 lbs between now and New Years.

What are your fitness goals for this challenge? My goals are to work out at least 60 minutes a day, 3 days a week at the gym.. and between those days supplement at home with my EA Active and the Ab-Doer my mother so graciously bought me as a "I love you, but you need to change" present many years ago. Also, to get back on the better eating kick.. I slacked a little after Shrinkvivor ended, and need to buckle back down.

What will you be doing to track your food or calories? I LOVE, LOVE myfitnesspal.com .. I cant say that enough! It allows me to log all of my food and exercise for the day.. It gives me a suggested calorie intake, and I LOVE when I click 'complete this entry' and it tells me how much less I will weigh in 5 weeks if I keep leaving calories on the table each day!

Well, there you have it.
