OK enough is enough. It's time to get to it!

So go figure, New years goal has failed.  What is new, seriously? Time and time again I have tried to start my diet, and get into a good exercise routine and I do good for a week and then for some reason I get side-tracked and I am back to square one. I am so sick of my crazy obsession with sugar; ok maybe I am not, why can't there be a sugar diet were you can lose weight? Wouldn't that be nice?

Well enough is enough; It's time to get into shape, i've had 9 weeks to recover. So since I am a visual person, I am going to take a before picture, I am also going to take a picture every week to help me see my results. For Christmas this last year I got a bunch of workout dvd's and workout stuff to help me get into shape. I am now telling you that I am finally going to commit to a weekly post on how I am doing.

I cannot look into the mirror anymore at the person I am not, it is time to feel healthy, alive again. I sure wish the weather was nicer so I could take Lexi out on walks, I know that isn't really an excuse, but I don't know about you other moms, but this smog is not healthy to be pushing your semi-new baby out side. I care about my sweet baby too much.

Now I know a lady never says how much she weighs, nore does she like being asked, but in this case I feel like it is necessary. So right before Lexi was born I weighed 237, I know a lot right, thats what I thought. Right before I got pregnant I weighed around 173, so that means I gained about wompin 64 pounds. Ok not OK! I am now about 198 which means I have lost about 39 pounds, ya that is a good amount, but not near what I want to be. 25 more pounds to lose til my pre-pregnancy weight, and 23 more pounds from that, to be where I want to be, a healthy weight for me 150 pounds.

I know this won't be easy, in fact it will be super hard for me, mainly because I LOVE to eat. But I know that this is what I want, and I want to be healthy. Now if I can get Nick to stop eating and asking for brownies and cookie dough. I sure love my husband but he loves to eat as well, but if you know him, he gains nothing, i'm serious.

So here I go. Today I started the Lindsay Brins postnatal boot camp, and I can already feel the burn. It is a 12 week body workout, and I will keep everyone updated. I said I would post a picture, but I need Nick to take it so I will update this post when I get it, until then wish me luck on my journey to a happy healthy body!
