Ok, this is going to be a big embarrassing, but let's talk about it anyway. It is the New Year, after all, which seems to me is the perfect time to discuss self-improvement.
I'm overweight. According to my BMI, I am obese. Obese. I don't even like looking at that word because even the word looks and sounds gross. I am obese. Yikes. When did this happen? Wasn't I just blogging about how I had dropped a chunk of weight and was feeling so good about myself?
I remember now. This happened:
No doubt it was worth it to gain back all the weight I lost to welcome that sweet boy into the world, but oh do I have my work cut out for me now.
So, here's my big announcement for 2012.
I am getting my sexy back, baby.
As of 11:35 pm on New Years Eve, I am a member of Weight Watchers Online. I track my points every day and am starting to work on integrating more activity into my daily life. And you know what? In my first week, I have lost 8.8 pounds!
So thrilled! I can't wait to go from this:
August 31, 2011. Thomas's delivery day!
To this:
Weighing in on January 5th - 5 pounds lost in 5 days!
And back to this:
March 2010 - With a 6 month Micah, down about 30 pounds!
And maybe, just maybe......down to something like this:
My Wedding Day - July 3, 2004
Yup, I'm excited. And the very best part of this whole thing???
EVAN IS DOING IT TOO!!!
Stay tuned, folks. This will be fun.
