Six months ago, the little man was born and I got rid of all the weight that I gained carrying him. That has left me at 182 pounds. Ugh, I'm fat. And dont' tell me that I'm not. I plugged in my stats on the Weight Watchers sight and they are very honest. Granted they say it a bit nicer. I'm not fat. According to them, I'm obese. Either way, I've got to get healthy and 2012 is the year for that.
I don't think it's going to be easy. I now have four kiddos. They take a lot of time and like a lot of things that cause my hips to expand in ways that tend to jiggle when I giggle! Ha! And I'm a stress eater. Lately it's gotten worse and I'm not sure how I'm going to work around that. On top of that, Ian has not slept through the night for the last few months. He's been doing a little screaming jags intermittently and we can't figure what is going on. That leaves me pretty darn tired throughout the day.
Well, who ever said good things are easy? Not me. I don't get easy often. That's okay though. Here are my goals. I want to get down to 140 pounds. I want to lose at least half of that next year. I want to stop eating when I'm stressed and replace that with exercise or some other healthy activity. I want to run a 5k this summer. I want to lose enough weight to wear my wedding rings again. I refuse to stretch out the rings because that feels like defeat. I want to wear a size 10 in jeans again. I want to wear medium or large shirts again. I want to be comfortable in my own skin.
So I'm back. Once I quit breastfeeding in June, I plan on taking hoodia again. Before I got pregnant, it was the only thing that helped with the stress eating. Until then. I'm not sure how I'm going to make all of the above happen, but I will!
Merry Christmas folks!
