A goal in mind: 19th wedding anniversary
I have never weighed as much as I do right now in my entire life, pregnant or not.
I have fallen into despair. I can barely wear regular clothes. I look misshapen, and I can't hide anything.
But I had an idea in the shower this morning. Next summer is my 19th wedding anniversary. I want to be able to fit into my wedding dress next summer. I want to look good for that anniversary.
Even if I get pregnant when Sebastian is one year old, I will not be that pregnant then. And if I lose a pound or two a week every week, I would be back to a decent weight when I got pregnant again, rather than horribly obese.
This is what I have been lacking: motivation. Specific, real motivation. And I need to make every day count, because I do not have endless time. I can't solve the whole problem at once, but I can make every day count.
I don't have my complete stats right now--I need to find a measuring tape. But I will put them down, and take a before picture. I will take my measurements every week, and a new picture every month. I will wake up and put on workout clothes every day, and not take them off until I have at least stepped on the elliptical. I will do as much as I can every chance I get.
I have done this before, and I can do this again. My last best motivation was when Babu was in Iraq, and I lost 40 some pounds in 7 months. I want to lose 60 pounds in 1 year. If I can lose the last 10 pounds after that, fine, but my goal is 150, June 22, 2015.
