It’s time.

Ladies(and any gentlemen), it’s time.

It’s time to loose weight.  The Pookah will be 1 year old in 13 weeks.

3 months.

I’ve got 3 months to loose at least 15 pounds.  20 would be the ideal, but I’ve got to start somewhere.

Sooo, I’ve got plans.

I’ve been following A Black Girl’s Guide to Weight Loss’s Clean Living Boot Camp.  It’s all about eating clean.  Her website in general is very helpful in terms of weight loss and eating right.

And then I got inspired by Joonluv630’s H20 September Challenge.   The plan is to drink 6 glasses of water everyday in September.  I’ve been drinking lots of my calories, so this will be helpful.

And of course, my friend Christina got me thinking about it with her new project Cut the Fluff.  Our babies are only a week apart.  So she’s in the same boat as me.

Soooo( drum roll)

Starting weight : 181.4

Goal weight: 165(for now)

By November 26, 2010.

The Plan:

I rejoined the gym, added Pookah onto my membership so that he can go to the Kids Care while I work out.  That way, there is not excuse that I don’t have anyone to watch the baby.

 I am also going to count calories.  Basically because it will force me to actually plan out what I’m going to eat rather that eating on the fly.  I’m giving myself 1800 calories in the beginning, because I am still breastfeeding( even if it is part time).  I admit that I am slowly weaning him.  I’ve gotten rid of one feeding, I’ve got about a dozen more to go!

I am going to do The Runner’s World 8 week Beginning Runner’s Trainer’s Program.  I’ve always wanted to run, and there is no better time to start!

So.  Here we go.  No more excuses.

I am actually going to post before pictures.  Me and my gut in all it’s glory!
