I'm Chelsie and I'm Courtney

We have been friends for roughly 15 years, we are best friends, sisters, shoulders to cry on, and rocks to hold one another up.... We are everything for each other. Our journey together has been crazy, filled with ups and downs, progression and regression. Our journey is never ending, we can honestly say that no matter what one or the other did, now or 20 years from now, we couldn't live life without the other. We both live separate lives, with children and craziness, but at the end of the day we always come together, to discuss, complain, enlighten one another or just sit in silence with the comfort of knowing our bond is there and it is unbreakable. I guess you could say we would be the perfect couple if we could actually cohabitate without murder being a factor lol... And since that's not possible we remain the best of friends. While our journey never ends, we do start new journeys everyday. Our latest journey will take place over the course of this year, 365 grueling days of support and willpower. We will be documenting every step of this journey, so that one day in 20 years shall we ever fall short of anything that we want to achieve in life we can look back and see proof of our will, our minds and our unconditional love and support for each other.....

So here goes.....

We together as one have decided that our goals are very similar in what we want. It is very hard for both of us to single handedly achieve these goals without falling off the wagon. So we have vowed together to go on this journey as one. If at the end of this journey, neither of us has fallen off, we will take our savings as one and travel together to the one place that we both have dreamed...

My friends we are going to Italy.....

The goals of our journey.....

1. We will quit smoking... This is a crucial part of our dream, as the money we spend on a daily and weekly basis on ciggarettes is the money that we will put into a savings account and it will be paying for our trip.

2. We will lose weight.... Not hard right? No maybe not, but the hardest part is we must maintain this weight loss for the duration of this year....

3. We will become and maintain an extremely healthy lifestyle for ourselves and our children....

This journey is not a simple journey of losing weight and cooking Brussels sprouts and tofu, this journey is nothing more than a test of our will power and support and a true test of how much we love and care about each other and our goals.....

We will begin January 13th 2013.......

(Cue dramatic music)

Dun dun dun.....
