It's Now or Never

Here I am on the evening before my baby turns 5 months old. Five months may not seem like a long time to you, but when you are carrying around nearly 70 lbs of extra weight, 5 months seems like an eternity.

For 5 months I have worn a sports bra or a nursing bra because I am nursing my child and my breasts are so big on my tiny little frame. They are so big that I am unable to find a bra that is both comfortable and supportive. I am all tits and ass...but not in a good way. My ass is big, I guess to prevent me from falling from falling forward. :)

Let me back up a bit and do a quick recap. In January of 2005 I decided it was time to get my college (booze inspired) weight off of my body. For the next two years I worked my ass off - literally - I dropped 40-50 lbs and 5 sizes. It was awesome. Then I moved to Florida in January of 2007. I got careless and then lazy. From 2007- October of 2010 I slowly put on about 25 lbs. Then, I got pregnant. Then, I got a big belly. Then...I got the most adorable baby girl. :)

So, as I write here, know that I am NOT complaining about the end result. The miracle of child bearing and the prize that I received was worth every last ounce. It's simply just time to get the pounds off.

I was cleared to work out at 9 weeks post-partum. Consequently that was the same time that I went back to work and back to graduate school. I let exercising take a back seat. It was the easiest thing to push aside between working full-time, nursing, finishing graduate school and being a mom and wife.

So, graduate school is done.

It's Now or Never.

I invited you into this blog to help me. Help be accountable to myself. Help me rid myself of excuses and rid myself of my weight. Check in on me, encourage me. Most importantly, push me. I will appreciate, even if I bitch along the way!
