So Clint and I have had a little bet going with my mom and dad. It started as a way motivate each other to be more healthy. Clint, my mom, and my dad both wanted to lose some weight and I wanted to start running consistently. So the goal is this:
GOAL:
Clint - must lose 26 pounds by September 1st
David - must lose 15 pounds by September 1st
Mom - must lose 10 pounds by September 1st
Emily - must run a 5k by September 1st
Ultimately we plan to go to a baseball game in Arizona but the person who does not reach their goal must pay for everyone else's way.
WHERE ARE WE NOW???
I have been running 2 miles each time I get on the treadmill. Although I still don't feel that I am quite ready to run a 5k, I am running one on August 16th in West Jordan.
Clint began the bet weighing 211. He has been running and has been on a very very STRICT South Beach Diet. As of last night he weighed 186.8. Amazing!
We're almost there!!!

Good work that is amazing for TC and so very hard! Keep running Em I know it sucks!
Wow! I am super impressed! There is no way I could run a 5k! And great job TC! When did you guys start this again? I don't consider myself a big carbonation/caffine drinker, but every once in a while I crave a diet coke, so thats way cool that you guys could give it up while doing this!
I started the diet in the middle of June, so I am happy with where I am at. I drink caffiene though, those Anser Fone nights somewhat require it.
I am really proud of you guys! Those kinds of goals take a lot of work. And I am loving your slideshow. I just can't get over what a gorgeous bride you were!
