This Is Hard!

I gotta say, THIS DIET IS HARD! The pounds aren't just dropping off like they did the last time I tried to loose weight. Those first 35 pounds were a piece of cake, but this time it's not. I'm exercising, eating right, and drinking lots of water. I have lost 8 of my 20 pounds, but it's about killing me. I really want some cheese and bread! I made myself homemade tomato soup for lunch today, but it just wasn't the same without the giant mount of shredded cheddar cheese in it. I miss my carbs, dairy, and sugar. I'm counting down the days until I can have something yummy again. This cheesecake and I have a date in just a few more weeks.

New Year, New...

ME!
Isn't it funny how we all make these New Year's Resolutions? Why not a New July Resolution? Or a New March Resolution? Well, as it is, I have several New Year's Resolutions and I'm really the kind of person that has to be accountable for them. I pretty much have to announce it to the world in order to accept it! Anyone else feeling the New Year energy and motivation to start and do things this year?

Numero Uno for me:

Lose 20 more pounds!!! eeek! You read that right. It's been more than a year since I had Barrett and I'm still 20 pounds overweight. I'm hoping that makes some of you feel good about yourselves! I don't feel too bad, though, because I lost 35 pounds in October and November, but I put 5 back on during the holidays. SO, if you do the math, I had 50 pounds to lose after having Barrett. Yep, I gained 50 pounds and kept every single ounces of it for more than a year. Now that the holidays are over, I'm newly motivated to lose the last 20.

Good Luck to ME!
