Fit and Healthy Bride and Groom

So as most of you know, Devin just graduated from East Carolina University with a major in health fitness. With this major, he has started personal training at Gold’s Gym in Shallotte, NC. He has such a passion for lifting weights and working out. Whenever he can, he is offering advice to anyone who is looking to live a healthier life.

About a year or two ago, Devin and I started working out together. This has become one of our favorite hobbies to do together. This hobby allows us to encourage each other, push each other when we fill like giving up, and also just getting to spend time with each other. We had a goal last year and that was to run a 5k. We started training for our run last summer and we accomplished our goal and ran in the Oyster Festival road race in Ocean Isle Beach in October 2012! Since then we have ran in the Reindeer Dash for Cash 5k, the Pirate Nurse 5k, and also the Gamma Beta Phi 5k in Greenville, NC.

 

 

 

Since we have a big day coming up, Devin and I have decided we were going to start this fit/healthy lifestyle together. I am a little bit better about eating healthier than Devin, and Devin is a little bit better at working out than I am; therefore, we decided we are going to help each other out and get our lives and health on the right track. I want to live a long and healthy life with my hubby, so now is the time to start rather than when problems start to occur. I am not a fan of fad diets or depriving myself from certain foods (seriously, our weekly dates during the school year were to sweet frog). I believe a little bit of healthy eating and working out can take you a long ways.

 

Since Devin is a personal trainer, he wrote us up both a workout plan. We are going to try to stick to it along with me helping him do better on his eating habits. To show what progress we will make, Devin wanted to do a before and after picture and this is what he shows me for his “before” picture…

Hahahaha. He wishes.

Anywhoooo.. our goal is not to lose weight. It is just too simply live a healthier life style. Devin has a family history of high blood pressure so we are going to take every precaution to prevent this gene from being an issue in his life. I am excited I can enjoy a hobby like this with my future husband. Our goal for this year is to run a 10k in the Oyster Festival road race. Devin's dad who recently just left this earth to go spend his eternal life with the Lord, told us he wanted to run in the race with us this year. We will be in the race again this year and we will honor and run in remembrance of my father in law, Mr. Donald Sellers.
