It’s all up to me

Here I am again, starting over.  But this time I feel like I finally have a workable plan in place.  Everything for me hinges on being able to exercise on a consistent basis and the previous plans of getting up at 4 am or having my hubby watch the kids while I worked out just weren’t realistic.  Finally, we decided to pay my sister-in-law extra to keep the kids an extra hour every day.  This way my hubby can pick them up and I will be available to exercise from 3:00-4:30 Monday-Thursday.  This is also my weak time for eating so it will kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

So here are my “new” starting stats:

<>Weight–291, Size 24/26.  My  ultimate goal is to be a size 6/8 and I would guess my weight will be around 150 (I am 5′7″ and I do honestly have a lot of muscle).  But since that goal seems sooooo far away I’m going to break it down.  My first goal is to lose 15 pounds by Thanksgiving with my 2nd mini-goal as being down 25 by New Year’s.  Historically the 1st 10 pounds comes off pretty easily for me so this is something that is do-able.

I also now having things a bit more under control at school so I will be able to devote 5-10 minutes every morning to blogging, it helps to keep me honest.  I plan to spend some time reading everyone else’s blogs as well.

I feel so great to finally have my life under control again.  I’ll talk to you soon,
