Official Weigh In

138.

How it all started...

Let's see. After giving birth in March, I was kind of waiting for the pregnancy weight to just fall off. One month, two months, then three months went by and I was still not able to get into my pre-preg clothes. By June I was able to squeeze into my old jeans. The "transition" clothes I bought were becoming loose. At that point I got real lazy. It seemed enough for me to be able to just wear my old clothes again.

I told myself and my husband I'd officially begin my diet/exercise plan after summer ended. (If there's one thing I can't stand, it's exerting myself in the heat.) So by the middle of September I realized - the time is now. Another thing that helped kickstart my butt into gear was my "midlife crisis" (more on that later). As I am approaching 34, this is not going to get easier. I want to feel good, look good and be healthy... and I am the only one that can make it happen.

Day 7

Well, since I've made it one week into my diet...or shall I say - my new "lifestyle." I figured I'd begin a journal of my progress. Maybe it'll keep me on track. Or maybe it'll just be a place for me to vent my frustrations from feeling hungry 24/7. We'll see. In any case, here I am!
