Starting today...

For those who have read my blog for awhile now, you know that I've never shared my weight and I normally don't set too many goals. As a matter of fact, this lapband blog of mine could not be further from an actual weight loss/ lapband blog!!  However, starting today, I am setting a goal. Time to get my shit together and get to where I started out at!

I've finally added a ticker for the first time ever (I've been blogging since 2009!) and as you can see, I have 70 lbs left to go in my weight loss efforts.  No, I'm still not going to share my weight!!  I don't think it really matters what I weigh, it's how much I lose and how I'm doing that matters. Plus, it's really nobody's business!  I would be happy if I lost 50 more lbs making for a total of 130 but my main goal is 70 more, so I would be down 150 from when I started.  My restriction right now is really good, I'm losing weight pretty steadily these days. I'm finally down to pre-preggo weight! And I'm feeling motivated.  I'm even going to set mini-goals (getting really crazy here!)

Lose 10 - July 12th (trip to Michigan)
Lose 20 - Sept 12th (Cabo Trip)
Lose 35 - Christmas

So, I'm basically giving myself another year to lose 70. Would I love to do it sooner than that? Sure thing!  But I want to be realistic too.. I'm going on my 3rd year with the band so I know that losing is going to be slow, slow, slow.

So, that's my plan. Wish me luck!!


Here's a cute little pic of me and my little man from yesterday, my first Mother's Day.. it was fabulous!!!
