I have been trying to lose weight for a year now. After Charlie was born I weighed about 185 pounds. A good 30 pounds over what I should weigh. I started working out like a fiend when he was about 7 months old. I lost about 15 pounds. Then over the holidays I managed to put back on 10 of those. Come the new year I was determined to lose that 10 plus 10-15 more. Well, I managed to lose the holiday weight. But, here I am still a good 15 pounds more than I should be. So, what am I going to do about it?

I need motivation. I think I found it. July 27, 2007 is my 20 year high school reunion. (Egad!) I absolutely refuse to go at this weight. What I mean is, I won't go if I still weigh this in 3 months. I wish I didn't care what other people thought of me. But, sadly, I do. And, not to sound too vain here. But, I wasn't exactly ugly in high school. I was homecoming princess once and was nominated every year. Truly superficial, I know. Still, I don't want to be that girl that "let herself go". So, there it is...is it enough motivation for me to stay focused? Let's hope so. But, just in case, I think I will join Wieght Watchers too. That weekly weigh in has got to help!
