Get Up- Get Motivated

I knew that I was being pretty lazy when it came to working out (ok, like NEVER working out).  But I was breastfeeding and eating pretty well.  More than anything I was just putting it off more and more.  Well then I stopped breastfeeding (thus drinking wine again) and the scale just started climbing.  I realized how bad it was when I thought about needing to schedule my annual visit with my OBGYN and the staggering fact that my weight was higher than it was at my 6 week postpartum visit (to be fair I had lost all of my pregnancy weight by my PP visit, just not my miscarriage weight).

This picture that we took on Elise's birthday is what REALLY got me motivated!  Besides the obvious bad hair day and the fact that Hubby only knows how to take pictures at the worst angle possible... I REALLY need to do something about this.

So today was Day 1 of The Shred (again).

The 30 Day Shred is an evil but wonderful workout video by Jillian Michaels that is only 20 minutes and she promises you the world.  I will give her my 20 minutes, lets see what I actually get in return.

I am also finally going to do some serious walking with Elise in the stroller again.  I think we are finally going to be getting Spring weather and I need to get us outside more anyway... I might as well strap on my ankle weights and water belt (yeah, thats the technical term for some strange body best you wear that makes you sweat your hiney off while you workout... just don't smell that thing).

Now coming here will also help me be accountable for what I do!

All I know is I want to look good in sundresses when we go to Charlotte, NC in a few weeks and I have to don a swimsuit for Elise's swimming lessons soon.... damn I need a glass of wine just thinking about that!

Gosh that picture is BAD--- just for clarification (because I need it) I am not as big as I look in the picture.  I am only 145  Gulp!
