Our names are Nick and Carolyn Walker. We were married January 28th, 2007 as a skinny couple. After the birth of our son, we let ourselves get swept up in parenthood. Then we got lazy. Many attempts at getting fit and giving up. We are finally tired of the strain our bad habits have put on our lives and bodies.
We have a 5 year old son, who, when we serve a home cooked meal, has acted surprised. When we would to go certain places, he would know we would eat there. We spent tons of money on food and still ate out, wasting hundreds of dollars.
We hit a financial snag not too long ago and struggled to make ends meet and realized how much we were really spending on food. We bought some foods in bulk and make it last. We didn't starve like we thought we would. We just thought smart and bought the right amount of food. Since that realization, we have cut down our eating out almost completely. In the last 2 weeks, we have eaten out less than 5 times. Before, we would eat out or get delivery almost every day. We were lazy, there is no other way to say it.
As I said, we had many attempts at getting fit and healthy. A few times we made some real progress but our motivation would vanish and gain all the weight back. Our weight is causing health problems or just making some worse.
We want to teach our son that it's better to eat healthy food and be active rather than eat McDonalds and sit around playing video games all day. We need to get fit so we can be around for our son.
