New goals…

So I had a moment of clarity and realized that maybe my goals were a little too big and that might have been what is throwing me off my game. I know where I want to be weight wise, but I know I need to focus on smaller goals first. My best friend is getting married on March 7th. I am one of her bridesmaids, therefore I must fit in the dress she so chooses and I won’t be able to do it at this weight.  So I have set myself up with a brand new goal. I have 200 days until then. My new goal is to lose at least 20 lbs. I am going to work towards that goal. When and if I reach it I will set a new small one right up until the day of the wedding. I know that 20 lbs will make a big difference and I will feel so much better about myself and the way I look. I want to dazzle my friend with how commited I am to looking good on her big day. Today is day one for the wedding day dash!

At a standstill

So I try and be faithful to my workout and honestly I have been doing pretty good. What I don’t understand is the my weight is just standing still. For some reason 203 is about my lowest and it fluctuates from there up to like 207. Is it the food I’m eating? I just don’t understand why I’m working out and nothing seems to be happening. I mean I’ve lost a few inches but it seems like the fat must be distributing to other parts of my body instead of disappearing. I just don’t get it!

I got my job!!!!

I am so excited! I got the job! I am now a nanny for some wonderful little kiddos. And I get to be the next thing best to mommy for a brand new(Born July 30th)little boy! My son will finally have a playmate and I will still have time to workout and work on my scrapbooks. I think this is just what I needed. It will save me so much money because I’m not payin a sitter. I will make just as much as if I had a full time job at 6 bucks an hour!!! YAAAAY ME!!!!
