But weight, there's more...

UGH. It's that time of year again. The weather is starting to warm up, and I realize that soon I'll be in short sleeved or even sleeveless tops, capri bottoms, and dare I speak it... a swimsuit!!!! Perish the thought. I shudder to think! My current weight is the heaviest I have ever been in a non-pregnant state. Not pretty. But with each subsequent child it has become exponentially harder to lose weight. Tried and true methods that helped me shed pounds fast in the past don't even make a drop in the bucket now. It is beyond frustrating. Still, I'm at the point now that if I don't drop some weight fast... well, you get the picture. I had big plans of starting a daily walking regimen of 1 1/2 miles - the first 3/4 mile with Casey at a leisurely pace (that's all he can muster - although he's an athlete he's bred for speed, not endurance), and then drop Casey off at home and do the next 3/4 mile at a good clip. But, the weather turned cold again, and I got sick again and I haven't even gotten out to walk ONCE!! Grrrr. But I'm hoping that we'll get a nice spring thaw soon, I'll be feeling better, and MISSION SLIM DOWN '09 will kick off soon. You all might have to deal with me whining and moaning through the process. Don't say I didn't warn you.
