Week 1 of 28 done

So I did week 1 of the 28 Day challenge and it is still really hard to get up to work out...but I'm still doing it. I lost 5 pounds in said week and am super excited!! BUT, for some reason this excitement doesn't translate into me wanting to workout to continue the weight loss...I'm so complicated that even I don't get me.
However, I WILL continue the daily challenge! I also bought the Zumba Fitness DVDs (much to my husbands chagrin) because I LOVE Zumba!! and if I can lose weight doing it then heck yes!!
Have no fear I will keep all of my devoted blog readers (hello? anyone?) updated with my success...because there will be SUCCESS!!

have a day!!

Day one of 28-day challenge

Okay, as promised here are the before pictures...I'm not proud of these, but I'm going to make a change so there...

Day 1 of 28

 231 lbs.

wow...talk about sway back!!



Here we go again...

I have decided that I need to lose that darn weight that I gained back when prego, (why can't it just go away?!). So I logged on to www.sparkpeople.com and joined their 28 day Boot camp challenge, I also made Lindsey do it... I will post a "Before" picture soon (its uploading). In the meantime I will be eating better and exercising more and give you weekly updates as to my progress. I just need a kick start into the whole workout thing again. My hopes are to be running by summer so that Livy and I can go for runs together in the mornings...running pssh...buuut I need to do something and running is free. 

I also want to fit into my darn clothes again! My yoga pants are too tight...yoga PANTS! SO, my ultimate goal is to be a size 8 by the time Laura returns from her mission which gives me about a year to drop 10 (don't judge me!) dress sizes...I CAN DO THIS!!! Please encourage me and if you see me eating something that I shouldn't be please smack it out of my hand and ask what size pants I wear...DO IT! If I drop my head and walk away in shame it is a good thing...sort of a mental butt kicking if you will.

To help myself further I will be giving up backed goodies for Lent this year...and I plan on succeeding. I know in the past I have given up with about a week left but this year I. WILL. Succeed! 48 days of no baked goodies and logging my food... *knock*knock* "Hello cellulite? Meet your doom!"
