Weight

For those of you who don't know...I've been working my a** off to lose weight. I've lost 24 pounds since September. I know it sounds like very little to only lose 24 pounds in 7 months but it's been hard. I feel guilty going to the gym during the day because then I have to put Camren in the daycare there. I also feel guilty going during the weekend because I feel like I'm taking time away from Omar and the boys. So I've been going to the gym before I work. That means I wake up at 4:45am and go the gym at 5:15 and work out until about 6 then shower and get ready there and then go to work for 12 hours. It makes for a long day but this way I don't feel as guilty. I hate it that I don't get to see them before work but I see them afterwards. I'm also wearing the bodybugg. I really like it. It tells me how many calories I'm burning and I log my food intake so I know if I'm burning more than I'm consuming. I'm really proud of myself. I've accomplished my first goal which was to get down to pre-pregnancy weight. YEAH!!! Now, I have a new goal and I have 7 more pounds to lose to get to that goal. I've been making small goals so that it doesn't seem impossible. I like to tell myself that losing it slowly means that I'll be able to keep it off in the long run. Right??? Since I've been exercising, my asthma has definately decreased by a lot. I feel better too. Wish me luck! Oh, and if anyone wants to workout with me, I would love it. My workout partner moved away last month. Just let me know.
