I decided that I have to post this goal of mine, just so I feel accountable to someone. I have been really depressed and hard on myself about not losing this baby weight. I HATE not being able to fit into my clothes. I lost weight right before I got pregnant, so I bought all these cute clothes in smaller sizes, and I can't wear any of them. So my goal is to lose at least 10 pounds by the end of the month. Hopefully it's closer to 15 pounds, but if I set the goal too high, I might just get discouraged if it looks like its not going to happen. My final goal will be much higher... like 45 pounds... but I think I'll take it one step at a time. I lost a lot of weight after I had Nathan within a month or so, and have lost almost nothing after Matthew. It is terribly depressing, and I am tired of making excuses for myself. There is always a reason to wait another day...
I have to admit it is really hard to get out and walk or jog in the mornings after having been up with Matthew. But however I do it, it just has to happen. And cookies are my weakness, and it MUST stop. So from this point forward I am having no more sweet treats for the rest of the month. I MIGHT make an exception on my birthday... but I'm just not sure if that will get me off track. I am going to try and count calories, and do some kind of exercise every single day. (And going up and down the stairs, or playing with the kids does not count.) If anyone has good tips on how to balance kids and exercise, you let me know. I have very busy, needy kids and it seems almost impossible to get anything done during the day... let alone exercise. HA!
So I've recorded it, and it's done, and now the whole blogging world will know about it. I better follow through. Pray for me... I think I'm going to need lots of help. :)
