so I actually took a look in the mirror...

and realized I am a TOTAL whale. Granted I had a baby fairly recently, it WAS seven months ago. That's right, SEVEN months ago. Time flies, eh?
So anyway...the other day something devastating happened. I crouched down to do something and rrrriiipppppp. My beloved dark-wash crop jeans ripped right in the crotchal area. So, so sad. And since I refuse to go out and by a bigger size pair of jeans, I took a good long hard look at myself in the mirror and decided a change was in order.
No more excuses. There was always something preventing me from eating right, or going to the gym. Always. Not anymore! It's time to do this for myself, and my family and I am being courageous and sharing it all with you, my loyal blog readers!
So on Tuesday, the challenge began. I started going to the gym. I had a pep talk with myself and decided that going to the gym was just going to have to be a part of my day. It wasn't going to be a "if I have time" or "if I feel like it" type of thing. Nope. This is like brushing your teeth. I just HAVE to do it.

And so far, so good. I will admit, it is very difficult trying to find the time to get in a decent workout with having a husband that works a lot, and two little ones. But I am managing. I am EXHAUSTED, but managing. Tuesday morning, I was at the gym early in the morning, and then I went back in the afternoon to take an aerobic class. It felt so nice. And please rest assured, if I could prevent myself from having to go to the gym twice in one day, I would be all over that. But no...not happening. Life can never be easy, can it? Wednesday was the same story. I left my house around 6:30 am, got in 20 minutes of cardio, came home, and went back at 6:30 for another 45 minutes and some weight training. And this morning?? Wanna know what time I woke up? Anyone that knows me well, knows that mornings are not my forte. So how proud am I that I was AWAKE at 5:45 am and out the door by 6:15. Psshhh. That's dedication! :)
I am on a roll. I can only hope the enthusiasm continues. I think it should...especially if I start seeing some kind of results. I'll report on my weight loss journey from time to time to let you all know how it's going. My ULTIMATE goal is to lose 30 pounds. :o It's discusting to even think about, but that would put me at a healthy weight for my height...I have been that weight before and I can do it again. Just have to set my mind to it.
So don't go offering me chocolate or anything. You know how I am about my chocolate. Oye!
And since I am most defnitelt NOT posting pictures of my fat self, enjoy some pictures of my adorable babies!
