Trying to Fullfill a Goal and Make it Stick

So it's been 9 and a half months since I have given birth to Sarah and I have lost the pregnancy weight, but now I am trying to work on a new goal mainly for myself and hope to actually stick with it. I hate coming up with a goal doing well and then usually half way I will stop what I was doing or give up. So I am going to try and break that cycle even if it kills me!!

Also I have talked with my husband and have asked him to help and support me with this goal of mine. So hear is my goal and you can laugh at it if you want, but I want to try and lose 40lbs within the next four months. So that means I will be hitting the Gym 4-5 times a week doing Cardio and Strength training, cut my calories to 1600 and cut out salt.

I really need to improve my upper body strength since I am weak in that area and didn't realize it until I went rock climbing with a friend and only got 3 feet off the ground. Lol. I also want to tone my triceps since they are a lil droppy, tone and firm my tummy since I have a pooch as I like to call it, firm my booty and thighs and just be overall healthy.

Also, I would like to try and wear a bikini if not by this Summer, but by next Summer since it's been a long time since I have worn one. I think the last time I wore a bikini was back in 5th grade and then I got insecure with how my body looked and would only wear a one piece. I also started to eat more which to this day I have kicked myself for going down that dark path.

I will be the first to say that I have done the yo-yo dieting and have lost and gained weight, but this time I plan on keeping the weight off and look healthy, but not like the Hollywood scary skinny. My doctor said that a healthy weight for me would be between 120-130lbs so my goal is to try and get down to 130lbs. I know I will be able to do it with the constant support from my husband, family and friends.

I know I am not fat and and not morbidly obease, but I could stand to lose some more weight since I am in the overweight category though I do not look like it mainly because I am mostly all boobs and booty. Lol. I also know that this will not be an easy road for me and that I will have to change the way I eat and not be too much of a couch potatoe. So wish me luck and I will keep everyone up to date with my progress.

Here's to hoping that I can attain my goal and not give up!
