Bleh...

As I sit here stuffing my face with panda express.. I find this to be the perfect time to set some serious goals.. all which im sure have been set before. If you Religiously stalk read my blog then you know that I have posted and talked about losing weight and getting in shape.. now in my defense the first time i Talked about it, I became pregnant shortly after.. and what the heck, I might as well live it up and have an excuse to get really fat and cry over twinkies right? Well It actually was the other way around, I got very sick and lost almost 20 lbs.. still cried.. but not over twinkies.

Goal #1

Stop caring about what other people think and get my booty to the gym!! Plus I have awesome friends, that if i beg enough i can get to come with me right??

I always have a set number of lb's I want to lose or a set weight im looking to reach, but If i gain muscle and lose inches this number is really not going to be the same. I always just want to see the big picture right away, and i think thats what gets me discouraged. Plus I need to get healthier all around, so if I lose weight in the process great!

Goal #2

Set a realistic weight goal, and time frame.. take it step by step and not trying to see the whole picture ahead of time. Focus on my health and losing weight as a bonus!

Goal #3

Eat healthier. Make healthier meals at home, this not only benefits me but it benefits my family. Cook more in general. Find healthier snack alternatives and drink more water!!

I need to use my resources as well, I have a 2 year old that loves to explore and a jogging stroller so If i in no way shape or form can make it to the gym my booty better be outside with the little one, walking, jogging, or chasing her around at the park. I no longer can get by with saying I just had a kid.. that only works for like the first 6 months.. if that. I need some motivation, I need to do something asap! So im going to use my blog as a diary, and a way to keep up with what im doing and my progress.

In the meantime.. im going to keep reading THIS blog for motivation. Love all her posts.

Workin on my fitness.. err, eventually.

Those shoes better make me look that good. 

(Just tell me they will.)

I know Ive said this in posts before.. but seriously, this time I'm going to make it a goal habit to work out! I need to desperately lose 20lbs! OK.. desperately sounds a little dramatic, but I would love to lose the weight. Ive spent enough time complaining, and really making myself believe that working out will not do anything. I guess I should prove my theory right then huh?! I know that along with working out, I need to control my eating habits.. Sorry Wendy's but I can no longer visit you frequently, and Coca Cola.. ohh how the departure will be a sad one! Maybe I will visit you on Sundays?? Everyone uses Sundays as their "cheat" day. I hate when people say "today is my cheat day". I think I despise this, because the food they "cheat" with is food I have such a great trusting relationship with, id be cheating if I didn't visit the snack isle.
Really though, I cant complain. I had a baby 7 months ago, and my weight is just about where I was before I got pregnant, I also only gained 30lbs my whole pregnancy (I lost 15 in the first 2 months). After, I could fit into my jeans.. and then all of a sudden I couldn't. I blame it on not breastfeeding longer, and also I found out that there are 2 different kinds of IUD's and the one I have has hormones released, which can cause weight gain. Awesome.
But I cant really blame weight gain on anything but myself.. I couldn't give you a number of how often I work out, because often and working out are not words I associate with each other.
Ive always been able to eat what I want, even when putting on a few pounds I still had curves and looked alright. But my weight gain goes to my face, and then skips down to my thighs and butt. Now, after having a kid, it just goes all over. Lets talk about my butt! My best feature, I must say.. don't mean to brag, but if you have seen it, whether it be in jeans, or on the dance floor.. you might agree. In high school me and my friend Courtney got called Boom and Bam.. our butts were celebrities. Id like to say my Butt's still got it, but it could be a lot better. Looking back on pictures of my younger days..(clearly I'm soo old) I miss my skinny self... OK not that I'm obese, but i miss those flat tummy, perky boob, bubble butt, skinny face days!
I know these things are not hard to achieve(the boob part costs some money haha) its just putting forth some effort. I wanted to start working out everyday while i was "working" down in Provo... I say "working" because technically I don't work, I'm just lucky enough to have a generous father who pays me to watch my little brother everyday, every other week while he works. He stocks the fridge, I have Internet and TV, and I get to be with my daughter all day! Ohh ya he also set up the elliptical machine in the kitchen for me to use, hence the reason I should have no excuse to not get into shape. So I jumped on this Monday, and felt good... I then realized I have the rest of the week off and Thanksgiving is around the corner. till next time.

Im pretty convinced that if I get these for xmas I wont ever have to do anything else.
