Hey Braley Family....get off the couch and get MOVING!

As some of us Braleys sat around on 12/26/2009 eating yummy food and lots of goodies we brainstormed about keeping each other motivated and creating some type of "Braley biggest loser" program. Many of us wanted to make a few health changes. Here is the plan we came up with and hope many of you can participate! Our family goal is to lose 10% of our body weight by June 1, 2010. I know many of you don't need to lose this much and many of us need to lose A LOT more than 10% but this is going to be our "starting" point. The fantastic & much missed ADAMSON family is coming to Utah on June 2nd. We thought this would be a good goal date. Hopefully we will all be a few pounds lighter and feeling a bit healthier to welcome them for a much anticipated visit.

Here's how the program will work....we debated back and forth, but let's try it this way for the next 5 months and then we can try something different next time.

1. January 1, 2010---- get on your scale, naked, first thing in the AM. Record your weight (for your eyes only) Figure out the 10% that you need to lose.
2. Visit this blog often to keep each other motivated. Sharing dieting/healthy recipes/exercise tips.
3. Once a month we will report on our progress.
4. June 1, 2010---- get back in the SAME scale, naked, first thing in the AM. Compare your weight with the starting weight, jump up and down with JOY because you have lost 10% of your body weight.
5. All of those that lose 10% will have complete bragging rights for a very long time!
