A fresh start

I had a baby five months ago. My goal was to start working out as soon as the doctor said that it was okay. Well that day came and now it is long gone. I did attempt at one point to go to the gym and did fairly well for a few weeks. My eating is poor...beyond poor. I know that my body will never be the same after having Greg, but I do want to get back into shape.
It is hard watching other people look you up and down to see how you look. You can all say that you don't, but I have seen it. I feel that secretly some people are glad when they see that I haven't lost all the weight or to hear about when I talk about it. But instead of getting down about I just have to remember that some day they will be there too and then they will really understand.
With that being said I am going to start the Body For Life program. I am tired of looking at myself and ready to get back into shape and really be serious about it. I know that it isn't going to be easy and that is part of the reason that I am doing this blog. Hopefully this will keep me accountable for the eighty four days and also encourage other mom's who have are wanting to lose the rest of that baby weight.

Here are my goals:
* Lose ten pounds
* Gain muscle and work on toning my arms
* Be able to wear a swimsuit this summer and feel good in it
* Wear my pre-pregnancy clothes and not feel "fat" in them
* Blog everyday about what I ate and my workout
