And so it begins .....

I had to create a separate post for this - since it is just for me. Today is April 1 ... and no fooling .... I start my diet today. I WILL fit into my regular clothes this summer ... I have no choice!!!!!
I am doing http://www.fitday.com/ like I did the last time. I am going to limit myself to 1600 calories a day ... more on the weekends if I want (hey, I girl has to have SOME fun sometimes)! I figure if I go for 1600 and I hit 1800 or so, then I am still doing pretty well.
Obviously I still cannot work out (wish I could - it would be a super way to regroup from these kids) so I will just be concentrating on the food aspect of it all.
My goal? Well - the first part is to just fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes. The second part - this comes later - will be to lose that final ten pounds I was going for BEFORE I even GOT preggo with the second!!!!

Wish me luck!!!! It isn't going to be easy since some of the only fun times I get to have during the day is eating! :)

THINGS I HATE:
rudeness, being late, arrogance, abortion, frigid temperatures, Winter 2008, goat cheese, a dirty house, not fitting into my clothes, friends who are self-centered, a slow metabolism, men who have "girly" cell phone rings, rude cashiers, good-byes, people who drive slow in the fast lane, know-it-alls, time changes and, oh yea, did I mention Winter 2008?

THINGS I LOVE: my sons- Joshua and Joseph, my husband- Eric, my parents and sisters, sunny days, my skinny pants, shopping when I have money to spend, saving gift cards until I REALLY need to go shopping, blasting my car stereo with good old rock and roll, when a new magazine makes it into the mailbox, vacation, a phone call or letter from a friend just to check in, Mass, the beach, a good martini, reading a book I cannot put down, fireworks, a clean home, nachos, a good scary movie, the smell of cut grass and of burning leaves, and a great evening with friends and sitting outside on a warm summer night (with a glass or two of wine, of course).
I love to watch reruns on TV, I am a HUGE sports nut (GO KNIGHTS! Chicago Cubbies, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Bears, and to my husband’s dismay, I still root for the good ol’ Tampa Bay Bucs) and I am the world’s biggest fan of my family.

THINGS I WISH WOULD MAKE A COME BACK:
GOOD rock and roll, kids riding their bikes till their house lights came on, MTV with videos, the value of having a TRUE friend, MC Hammer pants, slumber parties, the thrill of an ice cream cone on a warm summer night, being a teenager with NO responsibilities, mall bangs.
