goal time

Not big on the New Years Resolution. How about the, I'm not 22 and can eat whatever I want, barely exercise (aside from walking all over campus) and still not gain weight, but now I'm 32, have 4 kids and am slowly gaining the lbs and haven't gotten rid of the preggo lbs from baby #4.

Goal: Lose 20 lbs by the beginning of December. I get a new dress (it's so cute and I love it with the sash!) to wear to my parents 50th wedding anniversary party.

Jeff's goal: lose 35 lbs, under 200 and he gets a notebook (computer, not a 15 cent paper notebook). :)

So there you have it. This is our goal. I'm starting at 150. Jeff thinks I can get to 130 - pre-baby#4 was 140ish. Last time I was 130, I had the flu. Not the route I'd like to go, but it does help. haha!

We're trying to eat better, more veggies, less eating out - haven't eaten out in several weeks.

Drink more water - it's 115, that's inevitable.

Exercise a little more even if the kids don't take naps. use them to exercise too. :)

I'm sure most of you are rolling your eyes thinking I don't have that much to lose....but I'd like to feel better about myself and not have to purchase a whole new wardrobe in a bigger size. I want to enjoy the clothes I have.

So here we go. We'll report back in every now and then to give updates on our progress.
