First day of April. I’m starting to feel the pressure for our move at the end of May big time!

I’ve been scouring our neighborhood for boxes in preparation.  We’re only moving across the island, but moves always take so much effort.  We don’t have our new place picked out yet, but I’m trying to be ahead of the game here.

On top of that, the Mister has been put on recovery so he’s back to PT every morning and that means we’re both on the hook to get back in shape.  So we’ve started changing our routine.

I’m embarrassed to say, but this is the absolute heaviest I have ever been and I can’t stand it.  I broke down and bought the next size up in jeans and can’t get them on easily.  That was the reality check I needed.

I’ve decided to kick it into high gear and do something about this weight gain and such.  I NEED to get back in shape.  So….I’m going to start with confessions.  Lay it all on the table and hopefully track some progress here.

Here goes…*gulp*

Weight: 150lb

Height: 5’6″

Trouble Areas: midsection, hips/thighs

I refuse to be seen in my bathing suit until I get back to a better weight. It’s not even about the weight so much as how I feel and the restrictions on my wardrobe.  I just want to fit into my pants properly and not be muffin-topping it all the time.  I tried to get dressed for a welcoming party and refused to go out because everything looked shoved in and pudgy.

My plan of action is fairly simple.

• Better diet–we’ve already cut out a lot of crap and started on the Special K 5lbs in 2 weeks plan.
• Walk more — I walk Audie like it’s my job and it helps him with his energy levels
• Start a fitness plan — I have a few I want to try, along with the Couch to 5K work and yoga.
• Garcinia capsules — GNC swears by them over 60% to help with fat loss.  I’ll try anything.

I’m hopeful that I begin to see results soon.  I genuinely hate my scale right now.

On the up side….

Today is my beautiful Hina girl’s very first birthday!  Still a couple more months until she’s lived with us for a full year.  She’s gotten so big….

Nothing new on the horizon just yet….

Will update as progress continues.

Cheers,

-A. xoxo
