Back to the old ME

It's four o'clock in the morning, and I woke up twenty minutes ago wondering were hubby was.  I rolled over in bed looking for my cuddle buddy and he wasn't there!  I found him sleeping on the couch down stairs.  He feel asleep watching a movie.  It's a good think I got up because Lola, (our dog) was in the kitchen, sitting at the door that leads to our garage, crying.  She needed to nurse her puppies!  Her milk bags look like they were going to pop, and they were leaking milk.  I don't know how she does it because our puppies have little sharp teeth, and there are six of them sucking like they mean it.  I know breast feeding isn't the most comfortable thing in the world (if your wondering, I breast feed Sadie for a couple of months). It must be different for dogs!

Anyway, back to my topic!

I have been wanting to blog about this for the past three month but I decided not to just in case I didn't meet my goal.  Way to be accountable, right! Some of you might think I'm crazy but four months ago I was looking at myself, and I thought, "I kinda look like I could have given birth to a baby."  And since I didn't give birth to a child ever in my life. I felt like I could be a better me, and do something about my appearance. I was inspired by a blog friend who blogged about her fitness goals, and I thought setting fitness goals was a great idea but I wasn't bold enough to post it on my blog for reasons already expressed. All of my friends would tell me I look great when I talk to them about losing weight. Which is kinda funny because when they see me now, they tell me how good I like, and want to know what I have been doing.  I guess everyone has room for small improvements!

I decided that I would get up in the morning at six o'clock and go for a walk/run on my tread-meal, cut out ALL fast food, stop eating bread, pop, NO sweets (cookies, cake, donuts, chips, all that stuff that stick to your body), and be consistent.  I also ran bleacher and laps around a HS track near my house on the weekend. Before I started working on myself my weight was 130,(yes, I put it out here!) and I know some of you might not think that isn't so bad, and I'm not saying it is. But taking other things into consideration, like my height, body type, problem areas, etc.  I know what 130 pounds looks like on my body!  I still have some work to do, and consistency is still my goal...hopefully a life long goal.  I'm not going to say how much weight I lost but I will say that I went down some jean sizes.

I'm going to be 29 years young this year and it's time for a change!  I want Sadie to grow up being active, health, and fit. And hopefully hubby and I will be good examples for Sadie to follow.
