I've discussed it a little before. I've tried and I've failed...and I've tried again. I've had a little success and now is the time to keep it going so today I signed up...
For what?
Weight Watchers
So, far I've lost 8.5lbs on my own, but I know myself. I need structure...parameters...goals.
Three years ago (when I started out lighter anyway) I lost 23 pounds doing WW and then I quit...not drastically...slowly but surely...stopped weighing in...eating a little more of this and that...less exercise...no exercise.
Today I weigh 23 pounds more than I weighed when I started Weight Watchers the first time...which a little ironic I guess. So, here it is...
182.6 pounds
I'm owning up to it...
and I'm getting rid of it.
At 5'3" I should weigh at the most 135. My big goal is to get to 130 by 30...I don't know if I get all the way there but I sure as hell can get close by the time I hit the big 3-0. I have one day less than nine months to get there.
Here's how I'm looking at it...
We're adopting so I'm not going to be pregnant...therefore I'm going to have an anti-pregnancy and lose weight. I want to be the girl that people ask, "YOU just had a baby?!?" when I'm holding my newborn...that way I can explain we adopted as opposed to my current state where my stomach's so big it looks like I'm pregnant.
I want to weigh less than my husband again. I want strength and endurance. I want clothes sizes in single digits. And I really sorta want a pair of those new trendy expensive jeans...and I want them to fit like butter...since I won't be eating much butter. :)
So, there it is. I know I CAN do this...I just HAVE to do it.
130 here I come...
