My Goal!

This is my first post on my new blog, and I'm about to reveal one of the most embarassing things about myself...I'm overweight, in fact, according to my parents Wii Fit, I'm considered obese! Yikes! I hate that word, and I definitely hate admitting that I'm part of the huge percentage of people who are obese. I'm going to be 30 in six months ( Oh, dang! I just admitted two embarassing things about myself in my first post!). I've decided today is the day I'm going to start making some changes. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. by the time I turn 30. That's about 5 lbs. a  month.
 The plan~ I've dieted  more than once, so I'm going to take what I learned and what I know worked for me from those experiences. I'm going to keep a food journal and meal plan. My food journal is going to be kept on the website http://caloriecount.about.com/ . I'm going to try and post my meal plan on this blog. I'm not following any fad diet or anything. I'm just going to eat less. I'm breastfeeding, so it's important for me to still eat enough calories to keep a good milk supply. In the future I would like to add an actual workout routine to my plan, but for now the activity is going to be playing with my 3 year old, the Wii, and Kinect.
 I've already weighed myself today. I also plan on taking some measurements. I don't know which one is more painful! I plan on weighing myself at least once a week and taking measurements once a month. I want to reduce my weight, my size, and my bmi. I'm excited and scared at the same time! I just need to stay as motivated as I am today.
 Game on!
