I've been thinking about this for awhile and giving it a half-hearted attempt, but then I finally decided enough is enough. I need to lose this baby weight plus some. Cade is almost 11 months old and I have not lost any of the weight I have gained with him. And to lose just the extra baby weight is not enough. For my height, I need to lose more than just the added pounds that came along with Cade. So with that, my ultimate goal is to lose 60 pounds...yikes. That number scares me! To make it more bearable, I think I'll break it up into chunks. You know, just like they do on Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition. In 90 days, I
hope WILL lose 15 lbs. That is approximately 5 pounds a month or a little over a pound a week. I know that number seems low, but I have always bought into the whole "slow and steady wins the race." That and research shows it is best to lose about 1 to 2 pounds a week.
So here goes my weight loss journey. I even took a photo of myself to show where I am today and remind myself why I am doing this. Ugh...I'm not a fan of this photo AT ALL, but then again, I need this reminder as to why I am sticking to it!
After that awful picture, I have to end this post with a much better photo! Here is my precious baby...he was not feeling well all day due to teething and I couldn't resist taking advantage of it and sneaking in all kinds of cuddle time today.
