Making my body the Temple it should be

So I mentioned in an earlier post that I am planning on focusing on Weight Lose over the next few years. I wanted to touch on that a little more and get a few things rolling for it as well. On Christmas Eve my wife and I were sitting down before joining some friends for a movie and discussed a few ideas and changes that we felt we needed to make in order to take control of our eating and our bodies. Here is that list

• We will plan meals in advance
• Take stock of what we have (Ie. Inventory control so we can shop smarter)
  
• Clean out the snack shelf
• Wear the ankle weights around the house
• Make a shelf space for our daughter (She has turned 18, has a paying job and is buying more of her own food)
• Exercise tapes
• Calorie / Fat counting
• Go for walks when warm enough (We have since found an Podcast that takes you from walking to running over an 9 week program)
• Portion Control
• Healthier snacks
• More fresh fruits and veggies
• Drink Water
  
• Goal garments and target goals.

Now the next two pictures are not for the weak of heart.
