Ugh! It Pains Me to Say This...

But it's time I put my New Year's weight loss commitment out there in order to make it real! As part of my "Bringing Sexy Back Initiative," my weight loss goal is to lose [almost] 30 pounds by the time I turn 30 years old in July. There! I said it. Now you have to hold me to it.

Those who love me [except for hubby - heh heh] say "There's no way you need to lose 30lbs!" or "You'll be too skinny!" But if they knew how much I actually weighed, they'd change their tune. Lucky for me, the weight distributes so that I look [somewhat] proportionate, but enough is enough...And wearing maternity clothes for the majority of the past 2 years hasn't really helped motivate me to wear clothing that requires a belt :)

So, my Step 1 is to sign up with Weight Watchers [done]. I went on the program about 3 years ago and lost 17lbs in time for my wedding. My mom did it too and lost a jillion pounds for my wedding -- she looked fab. Sis was already fab as you can see...Anyhoo, I really like WW because, at the risk of sounding like a cliche, you really can eat any food that you want.


Step 2 is to continue to do my bi-weekly workouts during my lunch break and to add [at least] one more on my off day or the weekend. Hubby is growing weary of watching my elliptical trainer collect dust in the basement and I have run out of excuses as to why I can't use it...lol. Ideally, I would throw in yoga or pilates in here somewhere but there's time for that. Baby steps!!


Here's to 30 by 30!

This is great and you can do it!! Hubby and I are supposed to run a marathon in March. That's my goal for 30. We start training this week- nine miles.
