I need some motivation!

So, these past few weeks I still can't really get into eating healthy and exercising. I am kind of dragging and still wanting to just eat whatever/whenever which isn't helping my waist line. On Friday, I was super busy packing and taking my baby to the doctor but I think I was 152.6 which is up 1.6 pounds, good grief. Now I've just spent the weekend eating crap at Welsh Days in Wales, UT (where my Mom now lives) and it was fun, but not healthy. I keep thinking that one of these days I'm going to snap out these eating habits of when I was pregnant but I just haven't yet! I am probably up to 154-155 now after the eating this weekend.

My latest thinking is that if I eat really well and lose a pound or two a week, it will only take 5+ weeks to be back down around 141 where I was before I got pregnant. I really need to start working hard because the summer is 1/3 over and I still don't fit into half of my summer clothes. I really need some motivation, stat!

I usually go into a new week motivated to eat well with a fridge and counter full of really healthy food (and no treats in the house). However, I am not planning to go grocery shopping til Friday, July 1st (because we are out of money this month), so I am going to have to be really creative this week to eat well. No cheddar cheese in the house is a good start :)

Whenever I start to feel chubby, I think of two people who inspire me to stay slim. One is my sister-in-law Shannon. I have seen her eat moderately and say no to a delicious cookie without even blinking. I wish I had her will power! The other person is my friend Debbie. She loves good food, but once again, in moderation and she always looks so good. I remember back in the day when we were the same size, I want to get there again!

Here's to another week and hopefully some improvements.
