happy new year....joining the herd

I did it.

This year was the first year that I joined the millions of Americans and resolved to lose weight. Lets just hope that I dont "stay with the pack" and quit in a few weeks.

I bit the bullet and signed up for Weight Watchers online. This really is the biggest I have ever been, and while I *did* just.have.a.baby. I need to stop eating like a pregnant woman.

I think every person who needs to lose weight has a point that they realize that they arent as thin as they think they are.....its hard to explain. But I guess what I am trying to say is I *think/hope/pray* that I have come to the place that I am ready.

I was proofing my blurb book which is essentially 2008 in review and I should have titled it "watch Kristin get fat in 2008" because you can see me get bigger and bigger. And when I look at pictures of Kristin in November/December I recognize my face, my clothes, my hair...but I am not in the right body...if that makes sense. Like I didnt recognize the body that I was in, like thats not how I am supposed to look. I lost 25 lbs immediatly after birth 2 months ago, but since then, I have not lost any weight. Even with Audrey sucking me dry everyday...the calories I am intaking is way more than I need.

I want to look like Jan 08 Kristin. SO I hope that my 2009 book is "watch Kristin get thinner in 09" but lets hope it doesnt take all year...I *do* have a britney concert in April, I would like to look somewhat hot for ;)

Anywho....so here I am embarking on my journey...wish me luck.
