Okay, so I've posted the last few times about Eli and I figure it's time for a post on me :) And it's even more appropriate because today is my birthday... 27 whole years old-yikes! My husband asked me how it felt to be 27- I said "fat and unattractive". Now, this may be a little bit of an over-exaggeration! But we do all have days like that, right? I told my sister that I'm heading back to weight watchers this week, so this is truly my last 'free' day. I have been thinking of getting back on track for quite a while, I've even had a few attempts/false starts. My day usually progresses like this:
Morning=motivated and eating a healthy breakfast
Afternoon= "well, this isn't that healthy but I had a healthy breakfast so it's okay"
Dinner = totally motivated....for starting tomorrow and will therefore finish tonight off with a blizzard from DQ!
But with an upcoming wedding where we'll see friends from college I'm really feeling the pressure (all self-applied) to start treating my body better! In the past few weeks there have been a number of occasions coming up that have prompted me to want to wait to really get back on the wagon - going on vacation for two weeks in MN, my birthday, going to Omaha, going to Disney World, Thanksgiving, Christmas.... and then- time to have another baby? But then I realize- OH CRAP- if I weigh 250# before I get pregnant for a second time I'll have to invest an ungodly amount of money in new maternity clothes! What a kick in the pants :) And so, it is with some trepidation I start up again tomorrow- mostly because I loathe giving up things I want to eat. Any other moms out there reward themselves during naptimes with a snack on the couch? But, I know it needs to be done, and I really do want to set a good example for Eli. So, wish me luck! My goal is to lose 15# by February- seems doable, eh?

Hey girl! You have your hands full! It was a crazy week last week, so I'm not sure it would have worked out. I'll be back up that way the end of the month. I'll keep ya posted.
Good luck with the weight loss adventure. I wish I had the secret, but I don't. I've struggled with it for way too long and I did just eat 2 chili dogs for dinner (and fries). Get some exercise when you can, that keeps me from being 500 pounds! :)
Happy birthday! Eat plenty of cake today so you can be motivated tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Annie! I think you're absolutely gorgeous, just the way you are. BUT, I wish you luck in your Weight Watchers endeavor! I know you will be a success :)
Let's try to get together this week, yes?
You can do it! I may not be joining you at WW in person, but I'll be there in person, and I still have plenty of 2 point bars at my house for you to snack on when you're here :)
