accountability

The day I gave birth to my youngest son, I was the heaviest I had ever been. Like, 235lbs. I don't know my exact weight because there was no way in hell I was getting on the scale that day... but you get the idea. HUGE.

40 weeks pregnant

After Dash was born

After Dash was born in August 2010, I breastfed him and sort of watched what I ate. By the end of the year, I was at 194lbs. When I saw myself in photos from the holidays, I knew I had to take control of my weight and get serious about my health.

Christmas 2010

I started Weight Watchers in January of 2011. I was good at dieting and counting points! I could do this! By the end of 2011, I weighed in around 164lbs. I had lost 30lbs on WW! It was the best feeling and I really felt like I accomplished something.

Skinny jeans, bitches.

During the summer of 2012, I realized that if I want to start losing again and get down to my goal weight, I really need to add some exercise into my life. This is where I struggle... Exercise. Ugh!

I tried the C25K program. I made it to Week 3 and then hurt my knee. I tried the 30 Day Shred. I made it to Level 3 and then quit.

My knee hurts.
We are moving.
I work full time.
The kids need me.
I don't have the time.
I'm tired.

The list of excuses goes on and on and on and on. But what it comes down to is this:

I have to make the time. I have to do this for me. No excuses.

Right now I weigh 161lbs. My goal weight is 140lbs. My fitness goal is to be able to complete the entire 30 Day Shred and the C25K program. I will get it done!

Watch me.
