It's Monday.
And for me, every Monday means I can start fresh.
On what?
Mostly my diet.
Being quite frank about it, I have 17lbs to lose to reach my high school weight.
A feat I never thought I would see come true after 3 babies and 5 miscarriages.
I am so close I can taste it! (or maybe that's just all the veggies and fruits I have been eating now)
I am more motivated than ever and I have set my weekly goals to hit that number my the June.
So I am publicly holding myself accountable now.
Why?
Because I need some encouragement and pushing. I do awesome during the week. Then the weekend comes and I totally cave to the eating out with the family. Gaining back hal of what I lost during the week and setting me back. grrrrr
I can only blame myself!
But no more. I have 5 weeks to lose 17lbs. And I am going to hit it hard! No deviating from my diet! Exercising every day.
Don't get me wrong, I am in the best shape I have been in since I had Cherish. But now that I finally see the potential for what I can be I can hardly wait to get there!
So here I am.
Being honest about what I am ashamed of most.
My weight.
I let myself go. I put myself last.
I finally am putting myself first and ya know what?
It feels good.
No, it feels GREAT!
At first I felt like I was being a bad mom with it. But in reality I am setting a great example to my kids. To be healthy and take care of themselves.
So here's to the next 5 weeks of healthy eating, calorie counting and calorie burning!
I'll put a ticker on my sidebar to keep track with :)
Oh and in case you are curious. Since November last year I have lost 26lbs.
And before that I had lost 17!
Ya I was a fatty :D

that is awesome and BTW you have always looked great!!! Your beautiful! I wish I was more motivated I just cant seem to get my lazy butt off the coach these days! Good luck with that last few poundage!
You are my idol. I need to attempt the same thing in about a year, after Chelsea is born (and weaned.) I really do appreciate your example and honesty. It is motivating. I know you can do it! I'll need your cheers when it is my turn.
