No More Excuses

I was just cleaning out my closet and bagging up all the clothes I can not fit into any more to donate to Goodwill.  While I was in there digging around I came across a box filled with old pictures. Pictures of me when I weighed a lot less than I do now.  I looked at the girl in those pictures staring at the girl I am now and I barely recognized her.  I want to be her though. So this is it.  I have said it before, but today is the day that there are no more excuses.  I know I can do it, I've done it before.  I have a son now, and don't want to be that fat mom.  I want my husband to be proud of me for making a change.  I know I had a baby, and my body will be forever changed because of that, but I need to take back control. 

So, what does this mean?  Well, I figured that this blog can help me.  Today I start counting my calories and watching my sugar intake.  Exercise is a must!  I will check in every week and log my progress.  So today is the day. Every Thursday I will post my progress for the week.  And, hey, if you want to drop some pounds too, you can leave comments on my weigh-in posts and post how you are doing too!  This could be something quite fun.  I will try and share new healthy recipes that I am trying too.

Well, here I go.  Wish me luck!!!!

The above picture will be a good reasonable goal to set for myself.  I know that I can maintain that weight comfortably.  I will give you an update next Thursday!
