I worked out. Am I skinny yet?

After my workout.  You can see that I still need to take down all my Christmas card kid pics off the side of the fridge!

You see that cute little baby?  He's not so little when you realize that at 15lbs, you need to lose at least 3, maybe 4 of him.  He's still as cute though! 

I heard a motivational speaker last week who said the biggest problem with my generation (he was in his early 50s), is that we expect things immediately.  You need something, you get online, do a little research, ask your Facebook friends for recommendations, order it, and it's at your house in two days.  We don't have to wait for anything, and therefore expect all aspects of our life to incur the same instant gratification.  As I sat there and listened, all I could think was "man, that is really me, REALLY me... and Hardin is going to be ten times worse if I don't watch it." 

I started Boot Camp today, and in the spirit of instant gratification, I came home and immediately looked in the mirror.  Like I was going to be skinnier today.  Surprise, surprise, same old me in the mirror.

I am hoping Hardin stays on the same schedule for at least a couple of months for me to get back in the swing of working out.  Right now, camp is at 6 on Tuesday and Thursday, which is right when H goes down for his cat nap.  He wakes up at 7:30, I am home by then, he eats and goes down at 8:30-9.  Therefor, I have no excuse not to go right now, and don't feel like a terrible mommy for leaving my baby yet again when I just got home at 5.  Saturday is at 8am, but I get the rest of that day with him!

I also think Hardin will appreciate a not-fat mommy.  I never had to worry about my mom.  She was skinny-mini until I was in high school, and still to this day is just about right.  My dad on the other hand, struggled with his weight his entire adult life.  I struggled watching him as long as I can remember.  You would think after watching him suffer through a heart attack, triple by-pass, and gastric by-pass, I would have gotten my tail in gear and not gained so much weight.  Sadly, I like to learn the hard way, and I let law school ruin me.  I've got to get back to my pre-law school weight.  Pronto.
