Like many of you, there was a time in my life when I was very fit, played sports all year long, and looked great. Of course, that just happened to fall the most self-conscious period of time in my life so I didn't fully appreciate it until college, grad school, and the real world. Now, I find myself not quite as thin...

Dont' get me wrong - I love my body. I have curves to the extreme and am proud of them. That said, I do want to be a bit more fit, especially for my wedding day. Of course, having the wedding in Panama on the beach means that everyone will likely see my in my bathing suit... How's that for motivation? Mr. Tango and I have both often fallen into the 'well, I'm tired... Let's just stay home, snuggle, and watch a movie' routine, and as we love to cook for each other it's easy to get carried away with elaborate 3-part meals (No lie - we have 3-4 part meals 4 times a week. It's absurd). As such, we've both gained weight and have officially decided to work together to become more fit by our wedding day.

We bought a set of weights, and I've been going to the gym at work every morning before work starts to run 1-2 miles and do plenty of crunches, leg lifts, planks, and more. I started off at 150 lbs and aim to be around 125 by February. I'm 5'1", so it's not as much as it sounds. Mr. Tango doesn't care about weight, but wants a 6-pack again. He loses weight so easily! It's not fair! We're trying to eat healthier with some good success, and our usual once-a-week burger and/or beer failures.
I've been at it for about 3 months now and am at around 142lbs. It's progress, but I've reached a plateau and find myself lacking the motivation to really eat healthier and push myself. Have you set a goal to be healthier/more fit/thinner for the wedding? How are you doing? Do you have any tips? I like food too much!
