Happy New Year! (Mamavation Monday)

It's a new year, and this year is going to include a new me. I'm DONE making excuses. My son will be turning 1 in March, so there is no reason why my "baby weight" should not be gone by now. The holidays are over, and there are no monumental "eating holidays" until Easter. This should give me adequate time to achive enough success to power through.

So instead of just talking about all of the good I'm going to do, I committed. I joined Weight Watchers January 1st. This means that I am PAYING HARD EARNED CASH to loose weight. Money is extremly tight in my family right now, so spending money is a BIG deal. I'm only working part-time and my husband is unemployed. Thus, my time with Weight Watchers is a BIG deal.

So far, I've been on target for the past 3 days. Eating PERFECTLY. I've been in a workout rut though. I've been trying to sneak something in, but my son has learned to throw fits. (THIS IS AN EXCUSE. I KNOW.) So, I'm going to fit something in today. Even if that means bundling up the babe and myself like little Inuit people and taking a walk. I'm getting moving!

See You Ladies Next Week! I know that you all can do whatever resolution/goal you have set your mind to!

    Good for you! Get that walk in. Some times a little fresh air is all you need to get yourself out of that rut.

    Congrats on making such a big commitment! Good luck fitting in your workouts - I know it can be hard when your time is demanded elsewhere... I've been known to rock out a hard workout late at night when everyone else is asleep... but that's just me. maybe when you are working part time, and you get home, your husband can take your son to a park or something to let you fit in a workout before you officailly resume the mommy role? just a thought. Good luck to you!

    You know my saying: You can have fitness or excuses - what do you chose? You can do it Lisa!

    Lisa, consider joining a WII challenge and Shelley's Biggest Looser group (or any other). I think, if you are in the existing group, It will help if you are talking to others in the same group. Good job on eating though. Good luck with your goals.

    Good Luck with starting with a vengeance. I know it can be a real sacrifice when money is tight to do something for yourself, so kudos for you. I hope things start to look up soon for your family and your weight loss is a success.

    Those are great goals! I know you will be able to lose those baby pounds. Youtube work outs with toddlers and see some videos on how to work out with him that may help!
