Crap, it happened again. But no more!

The last two weeks have been a bit rocky. We've been so busy, sent the big kids to camp for a week and had a semi relaxing time, even though I missed them like crazy. Then we took a trip to Kenora for a day, and had a blast out there. And the most important news. Yesterday the "hubby", which I use to refer to my baby daddy, but we aren't actually married, he PROPOSED yesterday! That's right folks. I am an engaged woman now! So, this brought into effect the wedding planner in me. I can see my wedding in my mind's eye. And in my mind's eye, I am not this horribly fat, gross thing. I don't mind being a bit on the bigger side. I don't imagine I'll ever be *petite*. I believe I am one of those "big boned" gals that just can't ever become a size 0. But I definitely need to lose at least 50lbs before my wedding next year. So starting today, I'm a new me. I use my engagement ring as motivation. I've been eating healthy today, or at least healthier than what I've been eating the last couple of weeks. I've even been exercising for a good portion of the day. I did a bunch of abs, thighs and butt exercises for about 20 minutes while my youngest was napping. I danced while making supper. I inflated my exercise ball, and bounced during my meal. I've increased my water intake, drinking almost 2 litres in the last three hours. I will have one more snack in about half an hour. I hope to send the kids to bed in about an hour. Tomorrow I'm going walking with my close friend at the park that I'm hoping to get married at. I'm also hoping to go to the gym while my youngest naps, and do some free weights for a bit, or maybe even do some swimming. I am going to keep this up, because I refuse to be a fat bride. I'm going to take pictures and do measurements tonight after the kids are in bed. My plan is to exercise at least one hour every day. It doesn't have to be all at the same time, but at least one cumulative hour daily. Even on days when I give myself junk to eat, I won't stop exercising. Something simple like bouncing on the ball, as long as it's enough to raise my heartrate some, will be enough for me.

Hopefully, I will remember to keep updating my blog with my daily progress. Tomorrow I will post my weight and measurements.
