Confessions Part 2

So I think I have been doing pretty good since my last post. I have held my self responsible. I am now at 239.8 so things are going down. I also found a great website that helps and is free. It's myfitnesspal.com It's like the facebook of weightloss. It has helped a lot. I have also been hitting the gym pretty hard too. I LOVE ZUMBA!!! I told Albert that when I get to my goal weight I am celebrating by becoming a zumba instructor.
Funny story from the gym.....I normally go to work out in the morning and in the weight room there were about 4 highschool boys. They were there everyday. It made me think about my boys when they become that age. What was so funny about them was that they would pump weights for a minute and a half then stand there and look at themselves in the mirror for 3 minutes. As if doing 20 reps is going to make a difference.

Confessions

I weigh 245 lbs. I'm a freakin wreck. I have let myself go so bad. Sure, I have my excuses why I let myself get that way. But I'm tired of the excuses, I'm tired of being tired and it needs to stop. Now if you read this I hope you would leave me a little dignity and not tell the world how much I weigh. I'm putting this out there in hopes to make my self responsible to more people than just me.
Albert and I were going to start trying to get pregnant again. I've told myself "after I have this last baby I will finally dedicate myself to getting back in shape." I had a self realization that that was just another stupid excuse. Even though we are planning 1 or 2 more babies in the future I realized I would be a bad mom to let my babies live inside an unhealthy body.
So here is my long and short term goal.....loose 2 lbs a week, to get down to my goal weight of 145 lbs. in a year.
Tips, advice, support, and healthy recipes welcome.
