The elephant in the room...literally

I had mixed feelings about writing a post about my weight. Sometimes I think "People don't want to read about this." but then again it is my blog and what a better way to hold yourself accountable than to put it out there for everyone! This picture was the perfect one to post with this because this is part of the reason why I am losing weight. I am doing it for me but they are my life so really I am doing it for them. Anyway, if you read my nursing post then you know I hold onto weight until I am done nursing. Well, I guess I was a bit in denial about how much weight I had to lose. I knew I had gained a lot with Maggie, but after I finished nursing her I gained 10 lbs which is something I promised myself I wasn't going to do. After all, I had been working out so much all year, why didn't it just fall off?...ummmm stop piling food in your mouth and maybe all your hard work at the gym will pay off!!! (that is the good angel talking to me!) My lovely trainer Travis weighed and measured me and I about passed out. It was very eye opening. I subconsciously knew it but to see it was sad for me. Well I guess it was just the motivation miss competitive Siri needed because I have lost 6lbs so far! That's right, I have successfully lost 6lbs over the holidays!!!! It is a great feeling! I feel so much better and today when Chris and I were running and the kiddos were sleeping, I thought "This is what I have always wanted. Chris and I working out together and showing our kids a healthy lifestyle." Chris has lost about 30lbs and kept it off for a year so we are so in this together! It is great!!! Much easier when you have the support of your spouse. Anyway, stay tuned...(that is if you care;))
