Todays The Day!

There is a hope

Inside of me

Inside it begs

To be set free

Todays the day

I give it wings

Today well fly

With the power it brings

The strength is there

If youd just see

Open up your eyes

And watch it with me

Todays the day

To say good by

To choices that made

You afraid to fly

Todays the day

To say hello

to choices that kindle

Your inner glow.

Does anyone recognize the dress Im wearing?

If you look at my profile picture, youll see that that was the dress I was wearing for my "before" picture, before I lost all my weight the first time.

Now here I am again. Starting all over again...at square one.

I have about the same amount of weight to lose too. Im definitely not happy with feeling the way I feel at this weight. But the good news is that...next month...that dress will no longer fit me. I need to remember how I feel at this weight, how I hate it, how I cant stand myself so that when the going gets tough...I dont give up.

So, of course, I will be attempting to lose 20 pound in ten weeks. Actually Id really like to lose that 20 pounds in the first nine weeks. Im doing something different this time around that I did not do the last time which was...I am eating clean. That means Im cutting out all sugar, white flour and processed foods. Im curious to see how quickly fat will fall off that way.

I am also giving myself a few more calories to make sure I make enough breast milk. Today, I started out the day with 1,855 clean calories. The last time I did this, I averaged around 1,400 calories a day.

If at any time during this process, I feel like I am not making enough breast milk, Ill up my calories. I may also take a supplement called Fenu-Greek to increase my milk production. Ive taken this before and it really works.

So, today, I got in a 2 1/2 mile run, a 60 minute leg work-out, ab exercises and four sets of 15 girl style push-ups. I plan on working out a full five days this week.

I hope you all are having a great start to the new year!

Sincerely,

Sunshine Mama
