Gotta do it...

My hubby took my "before" pics not too long ago, and I'm devastated. He asked me if I was going to look at them all night long. I just couldn't believe how much I let myself go! I mean, I'm not oblivious to the amount of weight I gained (about 60 lbs during my pregnancy), but I was oblivious to image of what I gained. Now that I can see CLEARLY how it's affected my body, oh man...I've got to get a hold of myself and start watching my diet and exercising more. So, here's the thing, I LOVE TO WORKOUT! I've never not loved to exercise, so where did I go wrong? My DIET!!! Once upon a time, I was a smaller, leaner person. I was a gym rat as well. Was looking quite good, if I may say so. Then I just let it all go, mostly during my pregnancy. I think I gained about 10 initial pounds when I got married. Now, I've got to do something about it. I kept having excuses...."My foot hurts" (well, it did!!! I broke it the year before I had my daughter)...."I'm nursing, I need to eat my extra 500 calories"...."I'm trying to jump start my metabolism"...."I'm JUST TOO TIRED!!!". Other excuses are legit, like when I'm constantly getting a cold. Mind you, I didn't get sick much when I was smaller and healthier. So anyway, enough with the excuses. Now it's time to get on the bandwagon of losing this weight I don't need, prevent diabetes from happening, quit feeling old and tired. I'm only 32 years old for goodness sake! (Shaking my head...) Well, those pictures really did something to me mentally. I've got to move forward, I've GOTTA DO IT!
