The Blubber Diaries....day something or other

I am still trying!  I have lost about 5 pounds so far and its been a struggle.  Like I said, I'm getting older so this really isn't as easy as it used to be...not that I ever remember it being super easy to lose weight, just easier I guess.  I will fit into those size 8's!  We have moved our Vegas trip by a few weeks, which actually works out wonderfully because it gives me that extra bit of time to keep on trucking!  My sister and I are going to get matching tattoos on the top of our feet....its a celtic sister symbol.  

I can't wait!  I have one tattoo on my lower back of the Goddess Artemis incorporated with some other symbols, which I LOVE, and I can't wait to get this one too!  Living in the desert, I wear flip-flops like half the year, so I will get to show this off lots and lots!

While we are there, we are also going to visit the shop where they film Pawn Stars for the History Channel, and of course have dinner and do some gambling.  Its gonna be a great birthday getaway.  My hubs and I share a birthday, he is exactly 1 year older than me...cool huh?  So its very cool that we will get to celebrate Vegas style :-)

So this is my motivation...I want to look and feel fabulous in Vegas, being 35, and having the world by the........well you know the rest :-)

Blubber Breakdown:

28 or so pounds to lose
- 5 lost
23 to go and about 6 weeks to go.

That works out to about 3-4 pounds a week.  I can do this!

Bright Blessings!

The blubber diaries...

The goal:  Lose 25 pounds before Feb 16th or so.  I WILL FIT INTO MY SIZE 8 JEANS BEFORE I GO TO LAS VEGAS FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!  Yep, I needed that to be all in caps....much more dramatic and affirming that way :-)
The plan:  Low carb diet, a lot of walking, and a $hitload of will power....ugh!
The reason:  Pesky pounds of baby weight still hanging on there 5 months after giving birth, holiday indulging, and just because I love food entirely too much!  I'm a total foodie!
The reward:  A new found love of my bod to match the love of the rest of me (aww, listen to my narcissistic self :-)  and maybe some new clothes, a new pair of kick-ass knee-high boots, and a fun trip to Las Vegas for my 35th birthday.

I present to you the blubber diaries, day 1.  Current weight....25 pounds over what I want to be...did you think I was going to tell you my weight?!?!?  I'm not THAT much into sharing :-)  But I will say that if....check that....WHEN I lose the weight, I will be at my all time goal weight, one in which I am not too skinny, not too chunky, and can fit into a size 8-10 jeans with no problem.  That is my plan and it all starts today.  I have about 6 weeks to realize my goal and all be damned I'm GONNA DO IT!

So by posting it on here and knowing that people may see my progress, or lack thereof, I am hoping that bit of public humiliation if I don't get to my goal will keep a fire lit under my tush to keep on track.  Make sense?

Okay, so welcome to The Blubber Diaries!

Bright Blessings!
