Current Weight - 181.5
With a one year old on my hands, I seriously wonder what I did with all of the time I had before. I spend most of the day chasing her around the house, reading lift the flap books, and playing peek-a-boo and hide n' go seek! While I love every minute I spend with my precious babe, it's hard to find the time to exercise and work out.
Yesterday while Parker was napping, I spent 30 minutes working out and 15 minutes just stretching. It was heaven! I felt great! I need to remember how great it feels to get back into the rhythm of doing it every day.
Here's to more nap time workouts...

Current Weight: 187.5
Goal Weight: 150
37.5 pounds to go!
I've decided to start posting on Sundays like last time, just to make myself accountable. I mean, when you tell the internet how fat you actually are, there's some level of "I better fix this or everyone will know how lazy I am" mentality that keeps you accountable.
I also need to buy myself awesome stuff. That helped last time. A lot. So here goes:
180 - Hollister Jeans (return Christmas gift, so they will be free)!
170 - Pedicure (those things are hard to come by these days)
160 - Hair cut & Colored (Haven't done this since Dominican vacation)!
150 - Tattoos w/ sissy! (Will actually fit into Hollister jeans mentioned above.
I'm just going to look back at a bunch of skinny pictures of myself and keep the following things in mind so I don't cry a little:
1) I had a beautiful, wonderful baby girl.
2) I lost more than this last time and it only took me about 5 months.
3) I can do it!
Perfectionist Attitude
I am definitely a perfectionist when it comes to many things. When I began my journey toward a healthy lifestyle in 2012, I logged every single calorie. I tracked every calorie burned with a HRM. I spent hours cooking and calculating calories. I blogged weekly and tracked everything. Well when you have a baby, you don't have the time to do those things. I barely feel like I have time to take a shower let alone log calories in MFP.
In order to move forward, I've come to an important realization. I cannot do what I did before. If I miss half of a workout in my 21DF because Parker wakes up, I shouldn't just quit the whole program because I didn't follow it exactly. I should keep on keepin' on, even if it's not perfect.
I am absolutely determined that when we have our next baby, I'm going to remain active and healthy. I was so so tired all the time in my first trimester with Parker. I was also terrified of overdoing it and doing any kind of harm to my growing baby in my belly. As a result, I'm back up in the 180s (ahhhh!) and it's time to get serious. I've lost about 50 lbs in 6 months before, and I know I can do it again.
