30 Day Shred

Between the stress of TTC, the holidays and having a sedentary job I've managed to put on about 20 pounds since the summer. When I first started this blog last year I was doing Weight Watchers and had managed to lose a little bit of the weight I'd put on after I switched jobs (I went from a very active job to a completely sedentary one last February). We started having problems with our finances though so I quit going to WW and went back to buying not so healthy but much cheaper foods. About a month ago I noticed that my "fat pants" were getting tight. Not good. So I dug out the bathroom scale and when I saw that I now weigh as much as I did 2 months after Ashton was born I knew it was time to do something about it.

I started trying to eat better. I try to stay away from the vending machines at work. I'm trying to drink more water and pick lower calorie foods. The number on the scale hasn't budged so it's time to go further. I bought Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred yesterday and am planning on starting it on Monday. Why not today? Well, I'm waiting to see if, by some miracle, I actually get a BFP this cycle. I know that exercise probably won't hurt anything at this point but if I start the DVD now and then get a BFN my mind will put them together and I'll quit exercising before I even get started.
