There are a couple things you should know about me... I do not own a full length mirror or a scale - oh and I LOVE food. I judge my weight by how my clothes fit - I will be honest I knew that some of my pants that used to be relaxed or loose fit have became snug, I know that I am out of shape since I do not exercise, and am no longer the tone 18 year old my husband fell in love with almost 9 years ago. When I was younger I was very thin (doctors would ask me to gain weight) so you can imagine that I have never been on a diet & have never been active or have stuck with an exercise plan. I have been talking about dieting for a good 6 months to a year, but after going to the doctor last month for allergies I found that my short 5'2" frame had packed on 10lbs in the past year (besides the 10lbs I had already put on the last five years working my first office job) I knew that something had to change with both my lifestyle and what I was putting into my body. Especially since we will have to have IVF in the beginning of the year and would like my body to be in the best shape it can during my pregnancy. Most people want to lose weight after the baby, I want to get in shape before. So the following week I ran every day after work on our treadmill. Then... I stopped. I guess I just do not know how to stick with a diet/exercise plan since I have never been on one & apparently I am alot of talk and not enough action. However yesterday, after seeing the horrible cellulite that has formed on my thighs while shorts shopping over the weekend with my hubby, I finally put in the 30 day shred (by Jillian Michaels - the trainer on the Biggest Loser) DVD that I purchased a week ago and had my first session. It was tough!! By the end of the 20 minutes I could barely move, my legs were jello, I was panting like a dog and was moving like the heaviest people on the first week of the Biggest Loser. 1 day down 29 to go, wish me luck...
