Holiday slim down- 15 pounds in 15 weeks

Collin is 9 weeks old. The doctor gave me the go ahead to start working out 2 weeks ago. Since then I have taken one long walk (could hardly get out of bed the next morning) and worked out twice. It's time to step it up.

I have 15 pounds of baby weight to lose. I would like to lose more than that, but I want to focus on the first 15 for now. My goal is to lose 15 pounds by the week of Thanksgiving. If I start today, that will be 15 weeks to hit my goal. I think that seems manageable. I want to fit into my party clothes for the holidays.

I thought I would start a new blog to chart my progress. If I am accountable to you, my odds of success go way up. Would anyone else would like to join me on this little venture? If so, head over to my new blog and check out the details.

On a side note- There may be a little confusion in regards to my Baby Shower Giveaway. When I first wrote the post I said that to enter, you had to blog about the post. I decided 5 minutes later that wasn't fair to people who don't have blogs, so I changed it so that a comment alone was an entry. Unfortunately, if you subscribe to me via google reader, the old post was what you saw. If you didn't enter because you thought you had to blog about it, please know that is no longer the case. Also, a couple people asked for clarification on how many prizes the winners will receive. They will not be receiving one gift a piece. They will each be receiving 7 gifts. I know. Awesome.

Also - As requested, you can now order a "See What I See" game from Lazy Bee online.
