The beginning...

So this is my first blog. I'm kind of nervous! I am not witty or able to think of clever things to say...so I am afraid this may be dull for some. I have decided to start a blog because one of my friends from high school has one and I read hers and it really keeps me motivated! I am also starting it so that I can be held more accountable with regards to losing weight! I just had my first child in February and since his birth I have gained about 15 pounds...and I'm breast feeding, so I think I was supposed to lose weight. Not good. So...I am back to where I was about 5 years ago weight wise. Not quite the heaviest I've ever been, but definitely a lot bigger than I've been (about 30 pounds bigger) for the past 5 years.
So I have my bodybugg on and I am going to write down what I eat and just try to move more! In the next few weeks I hope to get back to the gym, but I need to find out how much longer my membership is going to last!!
So I am going to set a goal to try and lose 10 pounds by the end of June. I am not sure if this is too high of a goal since I am still breastfeeding, but I know I am eating enough for myself and probably 5 babies, so I think I can swing it and still give the baby all that he needs!

  5. Welcome! Blogs motivate me too. It's like I'm accountable to all these strangers for what I eat or whether or not I exercise. It also helps me keep my sense of humor throughout the process. Look forward to following you!
