Body for life challange

Well after two months of putting up obstacles and excuses I am finally started.A twelve week challenge of both mental and physical strength. The idea is to change the way I eat and exercise.I have not taken this challenge on lightly. I have been on many diets (that's putting it mildly) in my life and have had minimum success and have always gained the weight back.
So here goes, I have found a partner to do this twelve weeks with me. I never really have enough push by myself, so hopefully having someone else to keep me in line will help. I am posting this in hope that all of my fellow students will also keep me accountable. I am keeping a record of my daily exercise routine so I can track my ups and downs.Also there is a very specific way I must eat for the twelve weeks in order to build muscle and loss fat.
I started September 1 and will go until December 1 for the challenge and I hope that I feel so wonderful that I cam keep it as part of my life.
The first week has been very busy with my kids going back to school and incorporating the exercise routine that the week just flew by.I found the exercise refreshing and the diet challenging.I have a bit of a sweet tooth so giving up sugar is very hard.Also I feel like ten glasses of water is almost like drowning. I can tell you where every bathroom is within ten km. of my house. I hope this gets easier. I really don't like water.
Anyway I promise to keep up my postings once a week,this way you can see how I am doing and give me a kick if need be.( side heel thrust? well... maybe not that hard,see you next week
