So here we are. First post. I've done blogs in the past, and they are now collecting dust on the internet somewhere...maybe I'll link them to this one for kicks. Maybe not. For now I need to get in the mind set to update this one at least twice a week. Please, do yell at me if I don't.. in this orderly fashion, too.
Anyhow, let's get to the good stuff. I'm on here because I need a place that is a few steps down from facebook to share this information with. My daily brain.. or weekly? I want to use this blog for my weight loss goals, my writing (I'm writing a book, yes) goals, photography projects on the creative side, and just a place to rant, bitch, moan, ect.
I'm also going to make this my little soap box for just about anything.. and so it's not being published to everyone on FB and making their eyes bleed. Come here at your own risk!!!
NOW! (see I rant.) My first topic for my blog is my weight loss goals. Before I had ever ever ever moved to Texas back in 2006 I weighed a decent 150-155. Not shabby. Not perfect, either. When I fell pregnant I had weighed in at 165. Eh, not too bad. The highest I climbed was 230 on the day of delivery with Emma. Yes, you read that right... a whopping 230 lbs.
HAH!
So.. a year I had dropped down to about 180 and it was just STUCK there. Couldn't move.. and then I got pregnant again. This time I only reached 200.. and dropped down to 176-180 for awhile when I was a little more active. Unfortunately.. work, stress on a number of levels...and just being tired over all with chasing 2 toddlers now a days... has led me into the 185 range. I'm not proud of this.. and I most certainly DON'T feel great either. I have a 4 inch gap between my abdominal muscles from having to 9 lb babies and having two c-sections didn't really help my case either. I have what you call a "mommy apron" now over my scar and it's not really attractive.. mixed in with faded stretch mark scars from my fast expansion and rapid loss. I breast fed for 6 months with my oldest, and 6-8 weeks with my youngest (mastitis sucks). So I'm scared, stretched, and just a little extra fluffy. 2012 was going to be my year for a tummy tuck in January but things fell through... so here you have it now. Oh, and I forgot to mention a 3rd baby will be in the mix some time by Christmas this year, too. More time to save up for that tuck, right? Yup. :)
So... wrapping things up; I want to weigh in around what I did in highschool. My ultimate weight goal being around 140-145. I'm 185 for those of you who weren't following the whole way. So 40-45 lbs to loose. I need some motivation and this blog is going to be my center fold to vent into. I will post photos and updates frequently, too. I have to. I want to be at my goal by Halloween so I can enjoy the holidays and hopefully be heathy and ready for #3. :)
So there you have it. Posting photos shortly of my torso over the last 4-6 years. Warning, they will be graphic of bare belly and stretched out skin. If you can't handle it, please exit my blog now. TNX!
