Losing Weight

I have decided to start blogging about losing weight.  By far the worst thing to have to do.  I would love to be fit and just maintain.  But thanks to Sprinkles cupcakes, candy, pasta and children, I am in the "losing weight" segment of my life.  I certainly wish I could be like Heidi Klum, and have a trainer that works my ass out and doesn't let me give up.  I would also love to have a personal chef that cooks me that amazing meal that has just the right about of carbs, protein, and fat.  Ahh, if only.  But alas, I am left with just me - personal trainer, and personal chef to a house of 4.  I am ok with it.  

I have been trying to push myself at the gym.  I run a little more each day.  Do half treadmill half eliptic  machine.  I have been doing weights after 15 minutes on the treadmill and then returning to my cardio after that.  It's not easy.  There are about 100 things I would rather do than work out.  Please don't get me wrong, I love it AFTER it's over.  But walking into the gym I have to psych myself out.  I can do it I can do it -type of mantra.  Plus it helps having some jammin tunes on my iPod.  Currently listening to, what else, but the new Depeche Mode record.  I love it - but that's another blog.

So when I started working out a couple of months ago, I was gasp, 145 lbs.  I know, I have never been that high in my life (sans babies in my belly).  Today as I weighed myself, I was 138.  I am ok with that.  But ultimately I want to be at 125lbs.  I know I can do.  I just have to be consistent.  I will do it.  

I will keep blogging my results :)
