In the beginning...

My goal:  Be able to wear my wedding dress by my 11th anniversary in August.

I'm on day three of exercising every day.  I know you're saying, really, only day three?  Yes, only day three!!  I feel more motivated to exercise and eat right than any other time I've ever tried to be healthier.  So, I'm writing down everything I eat and doing 60 minutes of cardio each day.  If only you could see me exercising in my living room with a 6 and 8 year old so close to me I almost kick them in the head and an 11 month old pulling up on my leg every chance he can get. 

I've cut out all my caffiene and chocolate.  What?!  I know, my addiction to chocolate definitely is not conquered, but I'm trying really hard not to succomb.  I was so good today, there were donuts in the teacher's lounge and I didn't have one even when a friend ate one right in front of me.  Now, mind you, I didn't dare set foot in the lounge for fear I would cave to the temptation. 

The difference between this time and past tries is accountability.  I'm doing this with a team of people and it's a competition.  I don't want to let my team down by not doing my part.  I'm encouraged by other's success and I hope they are encouraged by my success.  Now we'll see how much success I'm truly having at my first weigh-in on Monday.  Eek, a bit scary!
