Still Getting in the Groove
Well....this week has NOT progressed as I would have liked, so I'm hoping tomorrow will bring about some change. Now that I have a short recess from classes, there is NO excuse as to why I cannot get this thing moving along. I'm determined to lose at least 10lbs by my birthday, which is in 15 days. I know I can do it! Wonder if I should embark on the cleanse for a few days....or maybe a week....HMMM....Might be onto something here. I'm not going to quit fighting!

Time to Get Back on the Wagon!
Ok...so I have been on this kick for years about trying to get back to where I was after I had my son. Now, let me say that I gained 67lbs. while pregnant with Coen and at 5'1" I felt like a beached whale! I ended up on a Monday - Friday kick where I would take an Adipex and do an hour of TaeBo. Before I knew it, I was down not just the 67 I gained, but an additional 10lbs! Somewhere between 2005 and 2006, I gained about 20lbs. Then...not sure what happened, but I gained another 55lbs over the two years following that. So in no time, I weighed what I did when I gave birth to my son! That just made me sick to my stomach! I was in an endless rut... get on a workout kick for a few weeks and lose a few pounds, then something happens and my routine is disrupted and back comes the weight. Enough is enough! I'm tired of feeling like this!
I had started a new diet and over 3 months had lost 35lbs, but then fell off the wagon again due to lack of time and additional stress from school and work and a few pounds have reattached themselves. NO MORE EXCUSES! Back on the wagon I go and it starts today! It is going to take some super discipline on my part, not to mention, some support from my husband, but I'm going to get through this.
The realization kicked in this Saturday when I was in Savannah trying on dresses for my best friend from high school, Robin's wedding and NOTHING fit! Very depressing, let me tell you, so I have got to get myself in shape and looking good before March 3rd!
And with that....I'm off! This will be the beginning log of my journey to a better me!
