Fitness Challenge

Okay, well here goes nothin. I really must be desperate if I am even considering posting these pics. Ewwwwww. Just as Adrea said though, posting them will give me motivation to get movin so I can post some really great "after pics." Actually, I'm slightly tipsy right now or I probably wouldn't post these. Oh well, what's done is done!

So, I know my problem area is my thighs. I am a classic "pear shape." And as Hannah so sweetly put it tonight as she was taking these pictures for me, "You're not fat mommy, just your legs." Ah the honesty of a child!!

Taking measurements and weighing myself was also very disheartening. The only time I've ever been this heavy was when I was preggers with Faith. My numbers and goals are as follows, but really I am not going to put too much emphasis on losing "weight," but rather inches. I would be happy to be the weight that I am right now as long as the weight was muscle and not "jiggly wiggly," as the kids like to call it.

Current weight: 149 (ugh) Goal weight: 135
Waist: 31 inches Goal waist: 30 inches
Hips: 39 inches Goal hips: 38 inches
Thighs: 24 inches(sick) Goal thighs: 20 inches
Arms: 11 inches Goal arms: 9.5 inches

My current BMI (body mass index) is 23.3, which actually is not even considered overweight. Thank goodness; however, I would like to see it closer to 21, which is just more healthier and closer to the ideal for my 5'7" frame. I'm taking Adrea up on her 12-week time frame.

So, these are my goals, for those of you that care! If you don't, well then don't read my blog for a while cuz this will be a lot of what I will be blogging about for a while. I would definitely appreciate some support though, and I will happily support any of you that want to get on board!

Until next time.....

Just a thought!

Would anyone be interested in doing some sort of bloggers weight loss/get fit challenge? Doesn't have to be anything too big. Maybe just a place for those of us interested to report our goals and progress and maybe have some sort of "Biggest Loser" winner or something. As those of you who know me well know, this is a big issue for me, and it's obviously hard for a lot of us to accomplish our goals especially when we are not held accountable by anyone but ourselves. I figure if we were all in this together than maybe we could keep each other in check. Or try to come up with a prize great enough (of course, besides feeling/looking better) that would drive us all to try to attain it!!! Let me know your feelings on the matter.
