And so it begins...

     I don't expect to be a size zero ever, let alone 5 months after I've had a baby, but my "no sugar allowed" diet (let's call it a life change) starts today. I've done this once before for a 3 month span. I lost 17 pounds, but most importantly, I had no back trouble. I have chronic back issues that have worsened through pregnancy and this year. I need to lose 30 pounds and I need my back to work. I won't be posting a "before" picture at least until there is an "after", but I am 5' 10" and weigh 179 as of today- not good! I weighed in at 201 when I went to the hospital to have Paisley. Keep in mind that I ate everything I could 20 minutes before they weighed me because they don't let you eat before you have a baby. Ok, so the number is not fun to admit, but I think we can all agree that putting something on paper is helpful for success. My goal is to weigh between 145 and 150. I was that weight from age 12 until I went on birth control a month before my wedding. I don't care if a doctor thinks birth control can cause weight gain or not- it can. So here we go. I'll keep you posted.

We could call this my before and maybe I'll reveal the swim suit pic when I'm down 30:
