My Own "Biggest Loser" Strategy via Blogspot

I feel determined to take care of myself. I don't wanna be one of those women that let themselves go just because they had a kid. In a couple of months I can't blame my expanded waistline on the "I just had a baby" excuse. When I go back to work, I'm also going to get back in the gym. We'll be sending Deagan to daycare 3 days a week. I usually get off work around 4pm, and I don't have to pick him up until 7pm. My plan is to go to the gym immediately after work, work out for about and hour and a half, and then pick up my little prince from daycare. I'm tired of not being able to wear shorts because I'm embarrassed of the amount of weight I've put on. Besides, that would require me to go out and BUY shorts. I'd rather just lose the weight and have a whole new wardrobe with my old clothes. I have tons of clothes that don't fit from before I was pregnant with Brent, almost 2 years ago.

I feel the urge to do this not just for my benefit, but for my son too. I remember when I was working out all the time I had more energy, a better attitude and I think with having a stressful job, working out after will alleviate some negativity I hold on to through out the day. I'd like to walk out of the gym refreshed and to come home and play with my baby boy! We plan to involve Deagan in sports as soon as possible. Not only for the physical benefits, but for social benefits as well. Bobby and I were both in team sports in high school. I was a cheerleader and swimmer, Bobby played baseball, basketball and tennis. I hope Deagan is as interested in sports as much as we were. I'm pretty sure his half of his clothing is either football or baseball related, lol.

So here's my goal... I want to be the size I was when I got married. That was 130lb. Before I gt pregnant with Deagan I was 146lb. The day I gave birth I was 185lb. I jumped on mom's scale a couple days after coming home from the hospital I was 168lb. So, I have 38lb. to lose as of right now. My other goal is to tone my legs. This used to be one of my best features. My legs have never been skinny, they've alway been athletic and fit. And they always looked great in shorts. I want that back... So here's my new journey. It won't be easy, but it is do-able. Every Friday I'll d a "weigh-in" and post my weight on here. I know Briana will keep me in the right frame of mind because she is a heath conscience gym-goer. So I'll be expecting some tips Bri! I figure by posting my weight it will keep me accountable and more inclined to stick with it.

Wish me luck!!
