on a mission....

we are all guilty of saying it.... but here goes: i want to lose weight.  now, i know i am in no position to say i am morbidly overweight, obese, or the like - but i do have pounds to shed post-pregnancy.  my body was not perfect to start (who's is.... oh, hi angelina jolie.... welcome to my blog!) but i want to get back to where my clothes fit better!

i've been doing well for the past four days, that's right - four days.  can you relate in my excitement, please? every diet started is destined to fail, so i've just been eating well and balanced  extra veggies, smaller portions, significantly less sugar.  i'm still a sucker for a glass of coke or sweet tea, but i don't want to bind myself too tight and fall off this "get-fit" band wagon, so i'm allowing myself these treats at night.  i've been feeling good, energized, blessed.  and hopefully, in the future (whenever it may be) my healthy eating will become habit and i'll be buying smaller jeans!

{{P.S.}} i had high hopes of using my boss's elliptical machine during amelia's naptime a handful of times a week.  but it is so.cold.SO.COLD. in the garage that i've decided not to torture myself.  like i said, i'm not dieting, just being better.  so i'm letting this go for now. kthnx.
