Okay, well it's been over a year since I had my little one and it's definitely time to get back in shape. So today is the day. No more "I will start tomorrow". I want to thank a few of my friends (Erin, Nicole, Shelly, Juli & Melissa) on getting my exercise kick started. They are my weight loss buddies (Plus all you ladies on the Aug SP Weight Loss Board, I will actually be on there this time, really I will!).
So I started tonight by exercising. I broke out the Biggest Loser Boot Camp DVD. Man I didn't realize how out of shape I was. I lost 46lbs soon after I had Gabby. that put me at 30lbs lower than my pre-pregnancy weight. However I have gained about 10 of that back. My goal however is 150lbs. That's right! I am telling you my current weight and what I want to be at. I am saying it out loud so that all you blog readers can help me out and keep me accountable!!! So every Monday I will check in with my progress for the week.
I have really started some of these awhile ago, but here are my goals that I am currently following and things I want to change in the future. I am setting small weekly goals, so that I can one actually achieve them and two feel some accomplishment.
1. Give up Pop. I started this probably in the beginning of October I think it was, so we are on week 5 right now. I have had one pop during that entire time and I have to say it wasn't all that great. I crave it every once in awhile, but I am starting to actually crave water, can you believe it.
2. No snacks before 9:30. I tend to eat a lot of little snacks throughout the day, so the past two weeks after I eat breakfast I do not have a snack until about 10am. This helps spread it out a bit and I don't tend to eat so much. So far so good.
3. Exercise 2 to 3 times a week. I actually had this one last week, but I didn't really do any exercise. Okay who am I kidding I did NO exercise, except run after Gabby. So this week I am starting this one again. So far 1 day down, 2 to go! I am planning on doing a Monday, Wednesday, Friday work out for 2 weeks and then bump it up for weeks 3 and 4. Wish me luck!
Some things I want to change
1. Eat more fruits and veggies during my day
2. Add more protein to my diet
3. Cut out some(not all) of the carbs that I intake during the day
4. Only have 3 meals and 3 snacks a day...this one I am doing pretty well, but sometimes I add a fourth snack or eat a really large lunch
So that's my weightloss plan/strategy. Wish me luck! I am going to need it! If you are doing a weightloss/fitness workout or anything like this let me know by commenting! We can keep each other in check.

Hi Jessica,
count me in. I am also making a serious attempt at losing weight and getting healthier. I am on day 6 of no pop and I still have not missed it. My reasons for finally getting off the pop is some dental problems and pain. The acids from pop ate through the enamal of a couple teeth leaving me in agonizing pain for most of the day and night. So not worth the small amount of pleasure of the fizzy sweet stuff!! Another small change I have made is no deep fried foods or foods that can be found in a vending machine. The only after dinner snack I am allowing myself is a piece of fruit or veggies. Good Luck!! You look awesome in the pictures you post by the way.
