I’m back and ready for the new year!

Wow! It’s been a while, huh? I took a bit of a blogging break to have a baby and now that he’s 7 weeks old, I think I’m as adjusted to having two kids as I’ll ever be! I’ve been trying to find a way to balance housework, work, and myself and it’s just not working but I will get there.

This year I’m going to focus on trying to find the balance and losing the “baby” weight (and the non-baby weight haha). I’ve got quite a bit of work ahead of myself, especially with the weight loss. I’ve got a good 50 pounds to lose and only about 20-25 of that is left from my pregnancy. I’ve already lost 30 pounds, but I’m afraid that’s about all the weight that’s going to melt right off considering I lost all of that in the first couple of weeks. I guess that’s the benefit of having a 10 pound baby! Yikes! I’m still nursing, so I have to keep that in mind while eating so I don’t interfere with my milk supply. I refuse to wait until I’m done nursing since I nursed my son for 18 months. By that time, I’ll be ready for another baby!! Well, maybe I will. haha

I’m still formulating my official weight-loss plan but I will be counting calories and exercising. I’m also joining Rethink Your Shrink over at The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. I’ve got Couch to 5k bookmarked, so as soon as my hubby frees up some room for my treadmill I can try that, but in the meantime I have some Jillian Michaels workout DVDs calling my name.

My hubby’s also looking to lose some weight, so I’ll post his successes if he joins in.

So, what are you waiting for?
