30 pounds and counting!

Ava's daddy has lost approximately 30 pounds over the last three months. His office implemented a "Biggest Loser" contest and Chris joined it...and is in second place! We have been eating lean meats and fish and as many vegetables as we can get on our plates! Breakfast is a MUST as well as healthy snacks throughout the day. Our refrigerator looks like a farmers market with the exception of the Girl Scout and other assorted cookies I manage to sneak. I felt like I was deceiving Chris by hiding the sweets...eating them all along, but he has had such will power and is completely driven to reach his goal he hasn't let a cookie get in his way. In addition to eating more healthy, Chris has been riding his bike and jogging regularly. Over the last couple of months he has participated in two 5k events and just this past weekend he ran in Austin's famous Capital 10k race and finished in just over an hour. Ava and I were there to cheer him on...along the route and as he crossed the finish line. We are so proud!
