It's definitely time!!

I'm finally to the point where being bigger than I've EVER been, including the day I delivered my children, is not okay anymore.  Reality hits when your 4 year old draws pictures of the family and makes you twice as big as everyone in the picture to accommodate for your stomach!  Children's honesty is pure and therefore I know he's not lying as I have been to myself.  Prior to having children I never weighed over 118 and that was a bit much for my 5'0 height.  I realize that your body is never the same after kids, but it has to be different than this!  I've decided to start this blog as a day to day analysis of where I am, what works and what doesn't. 

I'm not new to the diet trial and error!  I've tried more than I can even count, to name just a few:

• HCG  
• Alli
• Weight Watchers
• Skinny Girls Don't Eat Salad
• Carb watch

Don't get me wrong I lost weight on every one of them, and I also gained it all back!  I knew I had to exercise more so, I joined Jazzercise and when I have time to go it's awesome!  I can't say I've lost weight, but I do feel a ton better when I attend and my muscle tone has increased significantly.  Unfortunately due to being a busy mom of 2, going to school 3/4 time and managing 2 departments at a full time job, I rarely find the time to make it there.  I read a quote that said you can find excuses not to exercise 1 hour of each day and then you'll just have to live with the way you are 24 hours of everyday.  I'm currently researching different types of diet and programs that can be easily worked into my day.  So it's with great determination that I embark upon my weight loss challenge!  I'm currently 162 and would like to be around 125 by my wedding in June of 2013.  If  you've any suggestions or encouraging words, I'd love to hear them along the way.  I hope you will join me in this challenge as I start with day 1 Nov. 26 2011.
