So it's official. I am officially an official blogger! Wow!!! So as not to disappoint anyone who is interested in following my blog for encouragement and accountability on weight loss issues, I'll start there. For those of you who know me, I am a thin person trapped in a larger-than-my-normal-size body. I gained 55 lbs with my son, Noah, who was born in 2006. I lost most of it (about 40 lbs) and then got pregnant with Rianna in 2008. Now, the great news is that even though I gained a whopping 60 lbs with her, I've lost it all! But, I have these last nagging 20 lbs left over from Noah and another 10 that I had gained before I got pregnant with him. So... It is my goal to lose 30 lbs by Spring 2012. 15 lbs by Christmas and 15 lbs by spring. My modus operandi is going to be the Atkins Diet. I know that there are people out there opposed to it, but for me it works. I will expound on Atkins more in entries to follow. Wouldn't want to bore people to death on my first drive off the lot. :o)
Anyway, down to the nitty-gritty! I weighed myself this morning as a starting point and weighed 172.8!!! Arrrrgggghhhh!! Wtheck? How did this happen? I was really disappointed because this time last year I was down to 166. I am going backwards! Definitely don't want that. I will always give an updated weight with each entry...as embarrassing as it may be. Hopefully with that kind of accountability, it'll motivate me to stick to my guns. It will also be another goal of mine to keep my blog active. I will definitley be more encouraged knowing I am encouraging YOU! I appreciate your feedback.
By the way, I was off to a great start today, then I had some homemade bread with dinner. :/ Once I am firmly in induction, I really don't even crave carbs.. it's just getting there that's hard. So, as Scarlett O'Hara says, "After all, tomorrow is another day."
