M*I*A

Yes, I'm aware I've been a little bit MIA lately....and I apologize. I just haven't had the time (or the thought process) to sit down and blog. I just don't have anything for you guys. I feel horribly about it. But today, I'm here to give you something. It's short, and probably not worth a damn, but I'm going to write it (ha...type it) here anyways.
I bought a scale this weekend. I paid $39 (with a Bed bath and beyond 20% off coupon it was only like $33...) but anyways, I bought a scale, and at first I was scared to get on it. Only because I knew what it was going to tell me. To many, it's probably no big deal, but to me, it is. I've gained almost 5 lbs in the past 2-2.5 months. I don't like that...
I knew this happened on Friday when I wore my red skinny jeans to work and I could barely get them buttoned. So that's when I went out and made the purchase.
I'm not proud. As a matter of fact, I hate myself for it. And I know some of you are probably like, 5 lbs, REALLY?! Go sit your ass on the toilet, and you will lose that. But for me, it's harder then that. I'm only 5'1" and at my smallest, pre Chloe, I was 115 lbs....and at that, I still had a little bit of a belly roll...skinny, but my stomach was never TIGHT. So, here I am after I lost EVERYTHING baby weight related, back to saying that I need to lose 5 lbs. Damnit!
Well, this is me asking you to keep me motivated. I will start tracking my food on MFP and I will start getting back on the treadmill. Andy and I cleaned out all our old clothes to donate, and went through the shoe closet, and I put my treadmill shoes RIGHT NEXT TO the treadmill downstairs. So now I just need to get my ass down there and use them!
I bought a new Tervis Tumbler to keep my water intake up a bit more then it has been. And for the most part, it's been working. My goal is to try and fill it 3 times a day, but I've only made it to 2 this past weekend. So wish me luck today.
Here's to new years resolutions.....and losing this damn 5 lbs :-/
