I said I'd never be a mommy blogger. Ha!
I vowed I'd never reveal any sort of details about my life online. Whee!
I swore I'd never be a diet blogger. Ho ho ho!
Wait, diet blogger? You? Where? When?
Right now. See, I'm on a quest to lose 20 pounds by my birthday: June 17th (yes send pressies!). I started this diet two weeks ago (ya, Weight Watchers -- boring and do-able). I've lost a whooping 3.5 pounds according to my highly unreliable scale. I didn't mention it because it's personal, see? But suddenly I'm feeling sharey and I figure if I tell you, Internets, maybe it'll help keep my eyes on the don't-look-like-Shamu prize.
Here's all you need to know:
1. It's not baby weight. When Hugo turned a year old I had lost all the baby weight and that excuse went out the window. See amazing picture evidence. Oh how I regret not wearing a more flattering sweater in the after!
2. It's not because I adhere to an unrealistic idea or because I dislike myself when padded. Au contraire! My problem is I am super confident, and when one believes they are the shizz, it's hard to mess with perfection.
3. I currently exercise one week on, one off... I want to be motivated to be oh-so fit. Sound boring? It is! But I do feel better when exercising, mentally and booty-wise.
4. I still feel coming back from a difficult C-section was like coming back from the dead, and everyday I can sit up without pain or worse is a day I want to take advantage of by treating my body well.
So. Can I do it? Will I do it? Stay tuned and wish me luck. Now, without further blather from me, the really interesting bit... Hugo at dinner tonight. Watch for mommy's magic pea trick and Hugo's sly attempt at sleight of hand.
