My wife and I are going on two whole years of marriage, and we had both already fallen into a trap of unhealthy practices. But thanks to this forum, and Mr. Schwarzenegger bringing this all together, we have decided to get into better practices.

Living in rural Nebraska on a newly purchased (old farm) we have alot of work to do. But if we are too out of shape to go out and do the work the farm will fall into disrepair.

So we have been starting to eat healthy, and do daily exercises and encourage each other as a couple should try to do. We have started to rebuild heavy duty fencing, and repairing buildings. That may not sound like a work out, but in almost 100 degree heat we work our butts off! There is no better workout in my opinion then good ol’ fashion manual labor.

Taking needed breaks we drink plenty of water and eat several smaller meals a day instead of three large NE style meals. We snack on a handful of nuts instead of icecream, and eat more chicken and fish instead of burgers and fries. So far over the past couple of weeks we both have noticed great results. I am more toned and have more energy than ever, and my wife is loosing unwanted weight and gaining a bit more self confidence!

I believe the biggest thing in America right now, is that people tend to have a two week baby spark. My wife and I use to, until we could not take it anymore, and we finally got the big spark we so desperately needed!  We are in this for the long haul and hope to live long healthy and happy lives!

Thank you all for your commitments it is an inspiring thing!

Take care!
