Ok...no more excuses. I am joining Bridgette over at The Not-So-Blog blog. She is hosting a weight loss challenge. Every week we blog about our goal for the week. Then if we actually meet the goal then we are entered into a prize drawing. How is that for motivation? We also have a task for the week. Click on the button above to see official rules and join in the fun!
My goal for the week:
Drink at least 2 glasses of water a day
I have to start out slow so I can feel successful. I can't very well start out by saying I will losing 5 pounds by next week or I will exercise every day or some crazy thing like that. I used to run 5 miles on my Elliptical, but I am a far cry from that goal.

Your task for this week is:
"Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can."

What are your reasons??
1. Because I love myself enough to get myself back into shape.~Author Unknown
What are your reasons??
2. Because I can flippin' walk to the kitchen and fill up a glass 2 times a day.
2. Because I want to look into the mirror and see the person I feel like inside.
Do you ever feel like you look a certain way, then see a picture of yourself and think
"Holy crap, do I really look like that all the time?" Kind of like the opposite of Anorexia? You feel smaller than you really are. This is how I feel. I think I am doing really good and I am feeling good about myself, then I catch myself in a store mirror or see myself in a picture and want to run and hide. I know, I know, it has only been 4 months. It took 9 months to put on so it will take time to come off. Yeah, yeah...I hear you. But the fact of the matter is I have lost all the weight I gained with the pregnancy and still I am a long way from where I want to be. I have to start somewhere.
My ultimate goal is to get back to the weight or size I was when Gary and I started dating.
In the one above I was about 135 I think.
So who's with me??

Every day I look at you I see the most beautiful woman in the world. I will support you to help you reach your goals.
Good Luck with your goal. That is a great first goal and sometimes very hard to do, we get busy taking care of kids and forget to take care of ourselves. I will diffently support you through good vibes!
WIth the supprt of the hubby, how can you go wrong.
I am already doing a challenge for weight loss. I have another weigh in tomorrow - my 3rd - but I was already down 6 pounds last week. YAY me!!
And I'm with you. I did not realize how bad I looked, I am not usually in the pics. But it is not good and I WILL make it better.
I can't wait to follow your progress!!
YAY Sara! I'm so glad you are joining us! (and your hubby is too darn sweet!)
Did you drink your water today?
Yes, yes I did!!
Ok first of all you have an awesome husband. Reading his comment just about made me cry... Secondly you have been tagged. I know you have already been tagged a million times (cause you are so awesome) but oh well... So go over to my blog and check it out:)
Sara - I loved your reason #3:
Because I want to look into the mirror and see the person I feel like inside.
I still have 25 pounds to get back to my pre-preg weight, a weight that I was never very comfortable with anyway. I looked at the pictures from my girls' baptism and was so depressed. I thought I looked "so good" that day and when I saw those pictures, I just wanted to cry.
I agree and have new appreciation that the weight wasn't quick to put on, so it won't be quick to take off. I've managed to lose 5 more pounds, but they have been real work to get off. I have to say though, it's actually easier for me to lose weight being back at work than when I was at home on maternity leave.
Good luck to you - I'm right there with you!
PS - You have the sweetest hubby!
