Why I need to do it

My goal is to loose 50 pounds between now and this time next year.  That is VERY do-able, at a little over 4 pounds a month. Especially if I get off my lazy butt and start exercising. 

First, the reasons WHY I need to:

• I want to make it through a day without my back killing me
• I want to be healthy when I finally get pregnant
• I want to live a long life!
• I want to be able to run a 5k
• I want to be an example to people around me

How I am planning on doing it:

• Eat at home!
• Cut out the majority of breads, all of the sweets
• Cut back portion sizes
• Exercise!!  With Jillian Michael's 30 day shred
• Start doing the Couch 2 5K program

I am just going to take it one day at a time.  I think my goal can be obtained easily without struggling to much.  I just know that I need to do it. I have come a long way, but I still have a long way to go, that is for sure.
