The beginning!! Ramblings of my mind in the middle of the night.

I have started this blog to chronicle my journey to weight loss in the hopes that it will motivate me to do better.  There are so many blogs that address this same topic but I hope doing this myself will make all the difference for me.  As I lay trying to sleep last night I wrote this up just for giggles.  I know it's lame but oh well.  It was late.


There is so much to do
I don't know where to begin.
On this quest, nay this journey
of mine to be thin.

To diet...or not,
To exercise...I must.
To lose my muffin top
but I pray not my bust.

I could do without these,
Can I move this fat there?
Perhaps I should start
this whole thing with a prayer.

O Lord, if thou art listening
to my lowly request,
please help me to give
this whole health thing my best.

Keep me from cookies
get me off of the couch,
that I may rid
my dear self of this pouch.

I was hoping to be one
of those girls that I hate
who can eat like a pig
everything from her plate.

And not gain an ounce
but alas, tis not so.
Thus I guess I will give
this whole health thing a go.

Enough is enough
I have to get started.
This blog will be where
I keep everything charted.



I know, lame.  And so it begins.  Thing 1 and Thing 2 are in school which leaves just me and Thing 3 save for when The Man is home.  I have done exercising successfully before.  And when I say successfully I mean that I did it continually.  I have no plans for any type of diet with the exception of reducing my portions and scaling back significantly on treats which normally wouldn't be an issue but since I got pregnant with Thing 3 I have acquired somewhat of a sweet tooth.  If you read this and care to join me please comment or follow my blog.  It would be greatly appreciated.  I could use all the help I can get.  As it is late Saturday evening, I will begin my exercising on Monday morning after my Things go to school.  Wish me luck!
