The Goal

I've realized the last few weeks that I weigh more than I ever have (with exceptions of pregnancies). Looking back over our Holiday pictures confirms the awful truth. I AM OVERWEIGHT! While pondering how this happened I've come to the following conclusion. Accountability, plain and simple. I have no accountability. If I want the extra cookie, who cares? If I decide to lounge on the couch instead of going to the gym, who does it matter to? When I was running with Amy&Melissa or Yvonne, I felt obligated to get up when I didn't want to. Someone else would be waiting for me. When I had to document all I was eating during my pregnancy with Bella, it was hard to justify the little extras when I was going to have to write them down. So I am making myself accountable to all of you. I will log my daily exercise and food intake on this blog. My little brother gets married the end of May. My goal is to lose 20 pounds before the wedding. Then, only 10 more to go before I reach my ultimate goal. Now, for one of the hardest parts. My current and starting weight is.....oh, this is painful......158 pounds. OUCH!!
Oh, I didn't log my food yesterday, but I did run 3 1/2 miles!
