Everett and I decided a week or so ago to do a getting-in-shape bet. I am eating "only" 2000 calories a day and he is working out at least an hour every day. Because I'm still pumping, 2000 calories a day is little enough for me to lose weight, apparently, as I've lost about 5 lbs so far. Before this I had plateaued in my post-pregnancy weight loss, so making more progress is great. Everett also says he is really glad we're doing the bet, as working out makes him feel good even if he isn't losing weight, and losing weight is a bonus. So glad to be losing weight, and to have siblings who inspire me.
As "evidence" and (really) motivation to keep our daily pact to each other, we made a FB album where we upload the photos of our efforts. My photos are all various foods I'm eating and how many calories they are, and Everett's photos are his face after an hour on the elliptical machine, plus the timing on the elliptical machine. He said he could think of a different face for each day we do this, haha.
