Seeing as its March...

I guess it makes sense that 3 months into the year I really need to re-resolve on my New Year's Resolution to count calories. *sigh* Seriously its ridiculous that I can't keep up since I sit at a computer for 8 hours a day and Livestrong.com is ON the computer. I also carry my iPod touch around with me everywhere and that's a handheld computer so again--I'm ridiculous.

Anyway, my weekly weigh in is only going UP when I want it to be going DOWN. So its time to recommit...yet again. The goal is starting today to count calories every day until next Friday. I always have a hard time on weekends, but I'm still going to do it!

And since I finished that package of Double Stuff Oreos last night, at least they won't be tempting me...

"Begin with the end in mind"

The title of this post is one of my favorite phrases, Steven R. Covey. It's important to have a goal. A specific concrete goal.

My mental goal regarding weight is to look how I did when Joe and I met.

Not only does this mean I could fit into lots of cute clothes but it was the skinniest I'd been in years. And somewhat predictably after meeting Joe I yo-yo-ed back up to a higher weight. I'd love to get back there and stay there (it also happens to be about where I was in high school). It's a happy weight for me. It's not tiny--I can't tell you the last time I was a size 4 or 6...it must have been elementary school--but its a good size for me.

These pictures make me happy. It was a happy time in my life...maybe thats why I got lazy and ate lots of otter pops and M&Ms and got chubby again. Sigh.

May my baby sleep through the night so I may exercise.
