Between the move-to-Arizona-induced-depression last fall and the international smorgasbord last spring, I've packed on a few pounds over the past year (not to mention the extra few I already had). And they need to go. Now. I did well in June and July. I exercised regularly and watched what I ate and lost some poundage. August and September have been a different story, though, and I've lost a little ground. So here I am, with 12 weeks left in 2008, recomitting to lose 15 pounds by the new year. 15 pounds in 12 weeks is totally reasonable, even factoring in the holiday binging.
I woke up and hit the treadmill this morning and I already feel my energy levels going up. My back has been screaming at me to exercise (in the form of stiffness and muscle spasms) for the past couple of weeks. I also found a great FREE website that lets to track your weight and record what you eat. www.weighttracker.info. I'm really motivated by statistics and graphs (I'm a researcher, people, leave me alone), so I find this little tool really helpful.
If anyone else is working on diet or fitness goals and want to form little blogosphere support group let me know.

I DEFINITELY have some baby weight to lose! you and your tredmill have inspired me, I think I'll hit the gym tonight...it's been awhile.
Hey Breena! It has been a long time! Whatever you do...DON'T have a baby until you are ready to get really fat! I have been working on those last 10 pounds for 2 years now! Not fun! Check out thedailyplate.com. It is pretty cool and has graphs and pie charts, percentages and all that stuff.
B,
I would LOVE to come and work out with you. Like you I have packed on some serious unwanted ounds that need to come off. If you are ever in need of a work out partner let me know. I have to do it with some one or else I am not motivated.. I need help..
Breena! I'm glad you found me. Boy, it's been forever! Look us up if you come out here for some job interviews. And thanks for the diet info. I was going to try weight watchers, but I'll give your tool a chance first! Keep in touch!

Hi Breena! I'm so excited to find your blog. I'm with you on the need to lose poundage. I lost a bunch at the beginning of the year, but the summer was a roller coaster of pregnancies and miscarriages and now I need to work on it some more. I'm trying for 10 by the end of the year.
