By no means am I a professional at this thing we call weight loss or what I like to call "Dropin' Poundage". I am just a normal mother of 2 who has fluctuated with my weight ever since I had my first gorgeous child. Although I am extremely thankful for my gorgeous children, I am not however thankful for the extra poundage that pregnancy brought to my life. my pants are 2 sizes bigger than they were pre-babies, and I can feel the jiggle as I try to jog the pounds away. "You have had 2 children" will not be my excuse anymore. I am at the heaviest I have ever been and I vow to change it starting NOW! This, I know, is said a lot especially at new years.
I however did not make the notorious weight loss resolution that a majority of Americans make the beginning of the year. I decided to officially commit after intercepting a weight loss book by a well known TV weight loss guru, Jillian Michaels. It is called "Making The Cut". It's a 30 day challenge for those of us who need to loose 10-20 pounds. Now, hopefully I will be continuing this blog long after the pounds come off. Hopefully, this will be a life long journey to learning new recipies and techniques to keep the pounds off and have a 1 size wardrobe. My first official day is tomorrow, Monday August 22,2011. For the next 30 days, i will publicly blog about my weight, measurements, and journey to my size 8 I long to be. I hope the things I discover along the way are helpful tools, or motivation to those of you out there who are like me and are just ready to Drop the Poundage. We are real people who don't need to be mesmerized by Jenny Craig commercials, diets that make you cut your favorite food and quick fix drugs or surgery. I am dreading and ecstatic about my upcoming challenge. A personal goal for myself is just to show myself that I CAN! Are you with me? anyone?
