fresh start.

i loved being pregnant, and having a bambino is amazing... but being fat is the pits.

this is me documenting my attempt to reign it in. if you couldn't tell by the title, my goal is 25 pounds by january. funny thing is i weighed today to get started (in the nurses office at school b/c i don't own a scale) and i am actually 5 pounds less than i was last time i was at the dr. and was weighed. so maybe a more accurate goal is 20 pounds by january? whatev. i want to fit into my pre pregnancy jeans and feel like myself again by january. whatever it takes.

today i joined weight watchers online. this weekend we purchased a jogging stroller. i have some friends at school committed to do a little weight loss competition. some friends outside of school are willing to do yoga on saturdays.

...i am procuring help and encouragement from all fronts.

here we go. i am going to try to figure out how to be a working mom that puts a healthy lifestyle above a convenient one.

'before' pic coming soon. ew.
