I don’t know if any of you have ever checked out this blog, Undressed Skeleton…but Taralynn is my new favorite blogger. She has some really yummy looking recipes that I cannot wait to try this year in my journey to get back to my pre-baby body. Her blog has encouraged me in the past to stay on track and keep my healthy habits. I have read her blog off and on over the last 2 years, but she recently became more of an inspiration for me…I don’t know if it’s because she’s a bit older now and starting to be more mature that has attracted me back to the blog, or because I am struggling with a wicked sugar addiction and she makes low-cal treats that has me sucked back in. But treats that look like these have me hooked!
So today is December 31st…the last day of 2013. And my last routinely lazy day. I just cannot do them anymore. They will now be called rest days. But as of next week when The Bump can go to the child care at the gym, we are gone everyday. I am committed to doing this, and doing it right. I hope to be back to my pre-baby weight by March 15th…The Hubby’s Birthday. I’ve got 33-ish pounds to lose…so I am sure that I can do it if I stay dedicated, and keep my eating in check. No more mindless eating when I am stressed or feeling down. Living with PPD is challenging, but I know that exercise will help make me feel better, and I know from previous experience that taking off a few pounds works wonders for my self esteem.
So the center photo is the goal and I cannot wait to get to it! I didn’t realize at the time…even when the scale read 122, but I was quite small! It’s going to take a lot of work but I cannot wait to feel the burn and watch the sweat roll off me!
31 was an incredible year. I became a wife and mother this year. The two things that I always wanted to be. I cannot wait to see what 32 has in store for me! I am starting some things for the first time this year, like Tri training, and I will get to call myself a marathoner, and not just a half marathoner! It’s crazy to me that my birthday is tomorrow! How can a year have gone by already??
This was last year’s NYE celebrations…
It was a ton of fun! But this year’s party will be much more subdued…just me, The Hubs and The Bump and snuggling when the ball drops this year! I cannot think of anywhere I’d rather be for NYE!
Goodbye 2013…it’s been swell!
