My Birthday Weigh In...

Well, the celebration is complete. I had a terrific birthday and am now ready to post. As of Friday Aug 27th at 9:00 am I weighed 158.2 pounds. Outside of being pregnant, that is the most I have ever weighed. Okay, I know that this is not obese. I know that there are women out there that would love to weigh 158. For me, this is not a healthy weight. I am not obsessed with being skinny. I don't need to be skinny. I just want to be healthy. I need to exercise. I need to fit into the clothes I own without having to unbutton my pants at the end of the night. I want other women to know that "you look great for someone who has had two kids" doesn't have to be enough. If you are unhappy, CHANGE. You have to eat well, you have to exercise. If I can follow my own advise here, I hope to be down 20-25 pounds in a year.

I will weigh in every Friday at 9:00 am.

Anyone want to join me?

In 12 Hours

In less than 12 hours I will begin this next year of my life on my way to celebrating 35! I love goals. I just recently found this out about myself. I hope that I can make it! 135 really is not that big of a deal. I am guessing I have about 25 pounds to loose. It seems so attainable but it is not easy! It takes a couple months to gain that but it will take every ounce of my will power and every bit of extra energy to loose it! And so...tomorrow I will get on the scale and the journey will begin! Wish me luck!

OHHH I should post a pic! How do I that?

135 By 35

Okay. Enough is enough! I know, I know, it has been said before but this is ridiculous. It is time. I have yet another goal. I will weigh 135 by the time I am 35. I have 370 days. I have been the same size for years which is terrific for my wardrobe but over the past year my clothes have become a bit more snug and I do not like it, at all! I would much rather have to buy some new clothes (smaller) than allow my weight to creep any higher.

How will accomplish this lofty goal? Exercise and less desert.

I will be doing a weekly weigh in starting Aug 27th so if you do not want to know how much I weigh (it is a bit scary right now) then you will need to close your eyes for a bit. I wish I could!! So there you have it. On top of being a wonderful wife, devoted football mom, business owner extraordinaire and straight A college student, I will now be adding fitness guru. What can I say? I like a challenge!
