Skinny Jeans, Here I Come!

I'm down eight pounds since i started this blog! I slowed down for a few weeks, but I'm back on track. I'm doing no carbs after three again and listening to a hypnosis CD by Tom Nicoli. A new strategy has opened up to me- the sticker chart! I've used them for my children to track achievements. They get a sticker for every success and after 5 or 10 they get a prize. I'm working toward 20 days of sticking to the no carbs (including sugar substitutes) after three. I'm telling you the pounds melt off! This works since i do most of my running around earlier in the day. This would not work if I was working out in the evenings. The logic is carbs are good for energy but if you are sitting on the couch watching TV, they will be stored as fat.
Hope you are all enjoying you summer! Love,

Day 1

So here I am, finally 6 weeks postpartum. My midwife has cleared me to start exercising again. I gained a whopping 50lbs this pregancy. Currently I am hovering around 160 lbs, with a goal of 120lbs or fitting into my skinny jeans, whichever comes first. What is my plan? I don't really have one. I'm hoping that by starting this blog, all you readers will support me and hold me accountable. I know how to get in shape, I've done it before and for goodness sakes, I'm a certified personal trainer! This marshmallow like resemblence of me is about to embark on the greatest amount of weight I've ever had to loose. Join me on this journey which will no doubteldy be filled with sweat, tears and low calori jello. I would also like to experiment with different ideas about weight loss and see how they play out on the scale. Low carb, hypnosis, all cardio, all weights etc. If you are so inclined, please join me and keep me posted on your progress as well.
Love,
Rosalin
