My Declaration

Losing weight this last year has been both easy and hard. First easy because I found my niche and it works for me. I lost 40 pounds in 5 months and have kept it off since with the exception of my pregnancy. That was the hard part. Being pregnant and gaining weight with the baby made me almost cry! "I worked so hard to get it off" I would say to Ryan. I worried that it would take just as long to get the baby weight off again.

Well Kayson is 3 months old and I have had my pregnancy weight off for a month! I'm happy to have all my "skinny" clothes in my drawers again!

Now that the pregnancy weight is off it's time for me to get serious about the last few pounds. A few really isn't the word I would pick for 30 pounds, but because I want to set myself up for success I treat it as if the task ahead of me is already accomplised. No problem! And the best thing is I'm really excited! I haven't been "skinny" in my mind for a while and I'm excited to get my body into shape, have lean muscle, lots of energy, and focus to do the things I want.

I already have my eating lifestyle changed which gives me that edge to keep the weight off and give me energy and ALL my nutrients and vitamins, but now I've added exercise! Cassie sent me Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I'm on day 3. WOW! Everytime I start this I have to remind myself of my goals and declaration I made to my family to be 30 pounds less by Christmas time. At the end I'm sweating and ready to take a hot shower, but I LOVE the feeling I get when I'm done. I'm on my way to being a better, healthier me!

So that's my declaration: 30 pounds less by Christmas time! Talk to you soon!
