It is Possible

I've just calculated that there are 33 weeks until by 30th birthday. If I loose a healthy 2lbs a week that will be 66 pounds lost. Whew. It is possible. Well if I can resist the peanut butter cookies in the kitchen . . . :oP

Well It's a Start

I'm so frustrated. I'm not liking this journey very much at all. Before I had my girls I was overweight and after having them I'm even more overweight. Arg. I'm kind of angry at God and wondering why he chose me, the fat girl, to have a thyroid problem and no breast milk x2 to burn extra calories. I hate to complain about it, my troubles are small compared to others but it still is mighty frustrating. Anyway despite these challenges I'm determined to keep plugging away hoping to get my zebra-striped stretchy tummy back into shape. Yes I do have stretchmarks - lots of them. I'm just not one of the lucky ones that walk away from pregnancy unscathed. Bleh! Speaking of scathed I wake up every morning extremely stiff and sore. A daily reminder that I am a mother. My doctor has tested me for diseases such as SLE or RA but everything came back negative. He said I shouldn't be so sore. I'm getting tired of feeling like a 29 year old in a 99 year olds body. It sure isn't helping my weight loss efforts. I'm really praying that I'll turn a corner and start feeling better soon because this sucks!
