I'll take a side of Skinny-Up please!

I'm starting a diet and exercise regimen. Yep, I'm tired of this pregnancy weight I have yet to lose. I'm not fat but I'm not skinny either. Ladies you know what I mean. That little bit or more of that excess pregnancy weight you get that just won't come off no matter what you do. I despise it. I'm tired of looking at it and not being able to wear the jeans I want because there's a slight muffin top. I feel like the female version of the doughboy. If you press a newspaper against my stomach it'll rub off the print just like silly putty. Ok well maybe it's not that bad but when you've dealt with something like this for a while it starts to feel that way.

So I've recruited two friends of mine who are going to be my motivating partners and neither one of them will take my excuses for not doing it. I do believe I picked the right people for the job. Neither one takes no for an answer. It's good though. I need someone to push me into getting into shape. Usually after about 10 minutes of walking I'm done. I'm like the lazy couch potato that won't reach 5 inches more just to get the remote. My fiance bought me an exercise ball last year for Mother's Day. I used it for 2 weeks and it has stayed in my closet still blown up ever since. There's only so many falls off that damn thing I could take. My boobs are not equipped to take such damage from an inflattable ball.

Today I walked about 20 laps around the local tennis court. I even walked from my house to the tennis court. Woo! Go Me! I pushed Bradley in the stroller and Dylan rode his bike. My friend, Kayla, was my walking partner and she absolutely refused to let me sit down. She kept me walking even after my legs were burning and my back felt like someone had elbowed me right in the middle of my spine. It started sprinkling so we walked back. I could see my house when the rain came pouring. It felt so good though. When I got inside all I wanted to do was sit down but Kayla wouldn't let me. She wanted me to walk around a bit to work off the long walk we just did. It kinda made me feel good. I felt like someone cared about me and my pursuit to lose this dreadful weight. I've been drinking lots of water and eating fruits and veggies for snacks. As of today, no more fast food, junk food, inbetween snacking unless it's fruit, no more sodas, and no more excuses. I'm going to do this. I'm not going to stop until I've reached my goal and then I can hopefully maintain it.

Anyone reading this wish me luck. I know I'll need it!!
