Who Are We and Why Are We Headed for Shamrock?

We met online in 2005 trying to--what else--lose weight. We've had our ups and downs along the way, but we're not where we want to be. This is our journey to get fit and healthy. We invite you to follow us as we "exercise" our way across the country--track our progress on the map to Shamrock below-- in an effort to each lose 50 pounds by the end of 2009 and adopt a healthier lifestyle along the road.

Where will we go once we reach our goals? The sky's the limit... but we're thinking Greece would be nice.

    That happens sometimes on crazy days, but it can't be good for my metabolism...

    Oh, and I was so delirious the evening I posted this that I just realized that my graphic says "Beauty on Duty" and not "Betty on Duty". So there you go.
