New Year, New Me!

My name is Alaina, and I'm 29 years old. I'm married, and have a beautiful baby girl who's 5 months old. We tried for years to have her with a lot of disapointments along the way. We were finally blessed with Rowan on July 21st 2011! I have never been a vain person or worried to much about weight, but I just dont feel like me anymore. I was 157lbs, and a size 9 when I got pregnant, and happy with that. I always worked retail, so being on your feet all day 7 days a week was like my workout. Today I am a stay at home Mom weighting 173lbs, and a sized 13. With an infant its hard to find time for a shower let alone excersize, and a healthy diet. Besides winter is here, and I know im not the only one who goes into hibernation :0)  Im a wine drinker at night,  a snacker, and havent been very motivated lately. Its these little habbits that are keeping me chunky. Its time to leave the excuses behind!! Im taking back my body, and setting a goal of 150lbs This blog is to document my progress, struggles, and time management to help myself, and others who are on the same path to a better way of life! Im so happy to have reconnected with my friend Missy of 18 years, and am even more happy to have the support of another Mother/Woman just trying to keep it together. When she asked me to be a part of this I jumped at this chance to combine forces, and reach our goals! This is the new year, and so many people jump on the bandwagon with the weightloss thing, but one of the great things about a blog, is it can be used to hold yourself accountable! So heres to the New Year, New Me, and I hope I can help others to know it is possible, and your not alone! Im posting my starting pics below!
