okee dokee pokee. I am officially 6 weeks postpartum and ready and able to begin the journey of weight loss. Now, as you can see by the title of my blog, "Losing weight the hard way", this will be no picnic. I have accepted the fact that this may take longer than I would like and all is fine, as long as the goal is reached. What is my goal you ask..well let me tell you. I am bearing all here..my weight, what I eat, my workouts, etc. so be kind to my sensitive self because trust me I am not proud of where I am today (in regards to my weight).
Pre-pregnancy weight: 152 lbs
Current weight: 182.2 lbs
Goal weight: 130 lbs
Now, with those ridiculous numbers laid out for all to see, I plan to do something about it. If anyone has any tips, website links, or anything..let me know. I am all ears..or should I say eyes. LOL
The plan is to cut out all empty calories..except for the occasional slice of pie of course (DUH!)...I'm not Gandhi...we're taking things slow here. I eat way too many sweet foods..I have a LARGE sweet tooth..one that calls out far too often and for far more than it can handle..so this is a challenge for sure. Along side the cut in empty calories, I will strive for working out 5 days a week for at least an hour. When I say an hour I mean a full hard-core, feet to the asphalt, muscles to the poundage, hard-core hour. Not my usual, here and there, long ass time, we'll call it a 3 hour workouts. Nut-Uh, girlfriend! This is the real deal here. I will be posting details about how I'm eating, what kind of things I'm doing to eat healthier, what kind of workouts I'm doing, etc. I will also have weekly weigh-ins which will include weighing myself on my digital scale and on the wii scale and posting both my weight and my BMI..eeek, kind of nervous about revealing all of that, but hey it's accountability we're after.
As I look at my writing above, I realize that I enjoy my ....'s far too much. This I shall improve, I promise.
Wish me luck!

Did I have a brain aneurysm, or did you change your target weight from what you told me a few days ago. Regardless, you're doing a bang-up job. Keep up the writing, and I'll try to recruit some spectators for you.
GOOD LUCK JACKIE! If you have trouble with headaches or dizzy spells trying eating something salty, like Tortilla Chips. Helped me out alot.
Yeh Butch- 120 is the lowest I will go..I'd be oober happy with that, but I can settle for 130.
Wes-I DO plan to eat..I shouldn't have a problem with dizzy spells but thanks for the tip. I'll eat tortillas if I feel the need. LOL
I loss weight very rapidly, cause i left that desk job for Rehkempers. I was eating, but do to the amount i was sweating out it made me have dizzy spells. Just a heads up. I plan on getting my beach body back by this summer, i quit drinking alcohol and soda. Im gonna start jogging when the weather gets better.So dont laugh when you hear me come wheezing by your house.lol
HAHAHA. Wes, you crack me up. Cutting out alcohol and soda is a good start. I would volunteer to run with you but I would only hold you back..I'm extremely slow and a whiner when it comes to running PLUS I'm a wheezer too. I'll be sure to wave when I hear you passing by. :)
