1. I have some baby weight to lose. I gained 30 pounds with Hudson. That's great, I was proud of every. single. pound. I grew that child to perfection! Despite losing 20 pounds right away, I am back up a bit. By a bit, I mean 10 pounds. I think this is mostly because I am not as active (it's dang hot) and I've noticed I eat so fast that I eat a ton! And it's not always healthy.
2. My big baby boy is starting solids. He loves the purees and fruits/veggies mashed and mixed with oatmeal or breast milk (or both). BUT...I want to be able to feed him from my plate. That means what's on my plate needs to be healthy. Period.
3. The weather is starting to cool off and there is no reason not to get out there and do some active adventures with my dudes. I don't want to be a sit in the house and stare at the TV kind of family. Every once and a while, surey bob, but all the time...NOPE!
4. I want to set an example for Hudson. To show him that living healthy is an important lifestyle choice. I want us to live that choice.
5. Last night, after indulging to the max in hamburgers and onion rings from The Wineburger (Oh, wow, yummo)...I was exhausted. Gary and I had talked about getting chocolate shakes since it was his 32 birthday but I was falling asleep. Gary said, "You're falling asleep, I guess you don't want desert huh?". My reply, "That's okay, go get them, I'll wake up for a shake." And I meant it. And I did it. I fell sound asleep as Gary went to get the shakes, I woke up, sucked that bad boy down, and went back to sleep. To me, my friends, that is a problem. I am a total, 100%, sugar addict and it's got to stop!
6. I want to feel as good as I did in this picture:
This was taken in 2005 when Gary and I had been dating for about 9 months. Sure, it would be nice to wear that size dress again...but that really isn't my goal. I want to feel like I did then...super duper sexy! Whether I was or not...that's up to your interpretation...but let's be honest...I was totally HOTT Hot! :)
So there it is...I'll let you know how it goes.
XOXO

ReplyDeleteYou can do it!!!!! I am proof, if I can do it, AnyONE can. No you don't want to focus on size, but it is super nice to see an outfit on pinterest and be able to fit into it and look good. For serious, loosing was no my goal, you know it wasn;t, but it sure feels good. You can do it!!!!! It will be rough, set a goal for just 2 weeks, then see how you feel. I promise you can do it. It's a challenge that you can take on and win!!!!!!!
