40 lb goal

Last week I started a workout program. When I had Colton, I weighed 212 lbs. After I gave birth I weighed 188 lbs.

I don't want to weigh that anymore. I am tired of not fitting into my clothes, and hating shopping for new ones, no matter what the occasion is that I am shopping for. So I decided its time to do something about it.

Mike decided to start doing P90X again, which is a 90 day program. I decided that I was going to try the Brazil Butt Lift program, which is a 60 day program, but I am going to do it for 90 days. We have a competition going to see who can stay committed to their program and work out the number of days that we agreed each week. For Mike, that's five days a week. For me, that's at least three days a week.

I wanted to try five days a week, but after the first week I realized that might be too much for me starting off. As much as I want to jump in full force, I did just have a c-section six weeks ago.....so I have to keep that in mind, and not overdo it.

My goal is to lose 40lbs overall to start. That would put me under 150 lbs, which would be awesome. I am tired of wearing size 16 clothes, I want to be able to wear cute clothes - and the closet full of clothes that I have that I can't currently f it into.

And now that I have Colton, I want to be able to run and play and keep up with him. Right now, there is no way I can do that. So it's time to make some changes. In the first week, I lost almost 2lbs, which is awesome. By next week, I hope that number is at least 6lbs lost.

Brazil Butt Lift is a lot of fun. I like the Cardio workout a lot, which is good because that is what is going to help me lose the most weight. I am currently in the middle of week two, and I am not hating it yet.

So here's to staying committed and meeting my first mini-goal of losing 10lbs by the end of March!!
