Time to lose.

I know it's been a while since I've posted.... and I guess there is no excuse. I just haven't done it. I have just been keeping busy with my growing family. Growing as in my boys are getting so big so fast!!! A 13 month old and a 13 year old will definitely keep you on your toes!

Other than that... I have decided that it is time for me to lose this baby weight I've kept on (and actually had a little before the baby came along...)
I've been trying to eat healthier. It's working a little. Just by watching what I eat - I have lost 6 pounds in just over 2 weeks.
I've been trying to exercise. That's a lie. I have been thinking about exercise.
I went to the store over the weekend to maybe buy a new outfit or two.
THAT WAS MY MOTIVATION.
I hate shopping for clothes when I don't even know what size I am wearing. Trying to guess is very discouraging - especially when you guess smaller that what you ACTUALLY are - but bigger than you THOUGHT you were.
It is time to get my butt into gear! Get moving! Lose this extra weight! Get back into shape! I know that I can do it - it's just that I have been lacking in the motivation department. Maybe now that the weather is warming up - I can see what I have been hiding under the baggy clothes... That is motivation in itself... Maybe more "window shopping" will help also.
And just maybe my posting my progress for whoever reads this to see will help a little too.
My goal is to be back around 140-145lbs. That was a good weight for me! Not too skinny, not too fat.

Today I am down from 174lbs (which was my starting weight) to 168lbs.
I am going to try & make this a regular posting...

6 down.........................................................................................28 to go


Any words of encouragement are welcome!!!!!
