Today is the day!!!

I am sitting here watching Biggest Loser finale and feel like a loser! I have wanted to lose weight for so long, knowing that I would feel better, be happier, and have confidence. But for some reason I don't get off my butt and get it done! I LOVE nutty bars, I LOVE sitting on the couch, I LOVE cheese, I LOVE coming up with excuses why I can't work out today or tomorrow, or the next day...

I have decided that if I blog about this journey, maybe I can stick to it! I am 31 years old and a mother of 2 beautiful children! I know that losing weight would be what I need to be the mother/wife/woman that I want to be!

As of May 25th, 2010 at 8:30 p.m. I weigh exactly 170 pounds! My goal is 135. To some of you, you may not think that 170 is a bad weight. I was 135 pounds when I was first pregnant with my daughter. I have always been unhappy with my waist, weight, and motivation to work out. I am ready to be back to 135, but at a healthy 135.

I see families that are so happy, having a blast together, working out/bike riding/walking/playing, and I want that!

So, here it is...today I am challenging myself and anyone else who happens to read this to get to it! My goal is to by the end of this summer (before school starts!), be 20 pounds lighter and in shape. I know this is a possible goal for me and I can do it, I just need to get busting my butt!

How I am going to do this...
Biggest Loser workout on wii
start running workout I have been wanting to do
Eating 1600 calories maximum a day

So, I leave with this. I have so many times said I am going to do something, start it and don't finish it. I am going to do everything I can so this doesn't happen this time. Some people probably don't think I can do it (and honestly a part of me says...oh you will just quit). I don't have a magic wand and I know I will make mistakes, but this is my journey. Take it or leave it!

Here we go!!!!!!!
