Time to Change

I've just started a Biggest Loser contest. I've been whining for the past 9 months about how fat I am, but I've been unwilling to do anything about it. (Sorry to my friends who've listened to my whining, and thanks for not slapping me. I totally deserved to be slapped.) Today was the first day of the contest. I've got to keep track of my calories, exercise, drink an enormous amount of water, and weigh in once a week. This morning I did my before pictures. I'm going to post them as a motivation to post better ones in 12 weeks when the competition ends.

I'm not going to tell you what my starting weight is, but I'll tell you my goals:
To lose 20 pounds.
To exercise daily without dragging my feet.
To look super cute in a dress, which I will purchase as soon as my body deserves a cute dress.

Here's my plan:
No more Pinterest. All those pictures of desserts is just making me want to eat.
Lots of gum.
Long walks pushing the kids in the stroller. (I did it with all 3 kids in the double jogger--it was super crowded--and it was a good workout for sure.)
Smoothies, smoothies, smoothies.

There you have it. I will post my after pictures in 12 weeks. Wish me luck! (I want to win! I could use some sweet cash for skinny girl clothes.)
