in a desperate attempt at finally losing my baby weight leftover from big man i met up with my old frenemy jillian michaels this morning at 6AM in my living room to do the 30 day shred workout. it worked with A and i have confidence it will work again, if i can only carve out the time for it. im hoping that getting my body back on track will inspire me to regain selfcontrol in other areas of my life like spending quiet time with God and organizing our home and trying to stick to a budget and on and on. all great "things" to aspire to, but overwhelming when i feel like i need to "fix everything" at the same time. im not one to make resolutions with the new year. i know myself much too well for that:) but i can start small and if i stick with this working out dealy- its gonna require me getting up early (because both my babies are early birds) and committing to doing it even when i dont feel like it- i CAN lose my extra 10ish pounds by W's birthday. Which was my goal all along, i just never committed to anything for longer than 3 days because well... because it hard. and i have a million excuses. but i am totally OVER not fitting into my clothes and not feeling good about myself. i wanna be a healthy confident energetic mom who is a good example to her kids and looks good for her hot hubby:) woohoo. one day down, 29 more to go:)

(What did the big dog do with the little dog? Made him into pancakes!!!) she is a fish, loves to swim and would live in water if she could. on second thought, she would pr...
wooohooo! Good job! Just take it one day at a time. when fighting whether to get up or not in the am, think about how good you feel the rest of the day. and how guilty you feel when you don't get up! That always helps me! You can do it!
