Ok.....

... I'm not sure if I really want to post all this information on here, but I'm going to do it for you Lesli! lol. Plus, I guess it makes it harder to cheat when you put information all out in the open like this. I'm calling this fit by fall, because my ultimate goal is to lose 40 pounds before Mike gets back next December. Good thing you (Lesli and Haley) are probably the only ones going to read this.....

This is me sometime prior to nursing school, where over the course of the year, my study buddies and I drank venti mocha frappes every day. I gained 20 pounds over the year. I probably weighed close to 175. I really don't even remember when I weighed in the 170's, but my military ID used to say 170. I'm not sure if I lied about this or not when I first got it. I lost my ID last week and I had to go get a new one. Well, the lady asked me if I still weighed 170. I just laughed. I still lied though, and said I weighed 205!! haha!

I cant figure out right now how to get my pictures to show up the way I want them to, so I will have to add more later. To cut to the chase, I weighed 197 at first OB appointment. At my last OB appointment I weighed 267. I weigh 210 right now (according to my scale). My short term goal is to be down to 205 by May 1st. This means:

1. No soda. I am allowed 1 tall mocha lite frappe with no whip x1 per week. I have not bought soda at the grocery store since the beginning of February and the last time I had a soda was a month ago while out to eat, so I'm doing pretty good so far. However, I am still fighting the limeade cravings every time I drive by sonic.

2. No junk food. I found with soda, once I got over the "addiction" to junk food, I started craving healthy food! Lets hope it stays that way. I still get the occasional cravings though, it's hard, but it helps when the only food in my house is an apple or a yogurt lol.

3. Fitness walking with Thomas 5-6 times a week. I know I should do more cardio, but hey Thomas enjoys our walks. He likes to stretch his feet out in the stroller and let the wind blow through his toes (um... yeah I've become the mom that never puts shoes or socks on her baby).

That's it for now...I will add more later.....
