Ultimate Objective: Lose the 20 pounds of remaining baby weight
Highest priority: Fit back into non-elastic waisted pants
Target Date: 2 months ago
Amended target date: 2 months from now
Strategy 1: Enroll in Weight Watchers exactly 6 weeks postpartum
Strategy 1 Outcome: Lost 10 pounds in one month -- impressive, yes, but still have 20 to go
Strategy 2: Cancel Weight watchers and put money towards gym membership
Strategy 2 Outcome: Gained 3 pounds back while examining options of local free elliptical machine, joining the YMCA, or ordering the P90X videos
Strategy 3: Free one week trial membership at 24 hour fitness with the intention of going everyday of the week
Outcome A: I can't lift my arms past my head after the tricep-pushups in the Pilates class
Outcome B: Pulled a hamstring and remembered I have bad knees after the 20 minute run on the treadmill
Outcome C: I need a donut to sit on after the Spin class I took this morning where I actually threw up (in my mouth!) during the intense workout
Note: It is only day 3 of my 6 day challenge
Strategy 4: Give people something else to notice besides my rather rotund figure
Outcome: Go dark! I'm serious this time!

You look so cute! I am laughing at the gym antics all of which I have done at one time or another. I tend to embarrass myself enormously when around huge groups of very sweaty people. Just a thought but have you heard of hcg? My Dad has almost lost 50 and he hasn't exercised at all! :) Unless you are still nursing then you will have to wait.....
You are so great! I love the new hair color and you don't look like you need to lose 20 pounds. I think it's great that you're going to 24 hr fitness. It's all about consistency. Have fun with it, but honestly, you're already looking so great!
Hair: Fabulous. Gym torture: Funny. Sort of. But only if you've actually experienced the torture of a spin class. I'm feeling inspired by your lofty fitness goals.
I LOVE the hair! You really did go dark this time. Are you going to keep it? Wish you were here so we could suffer at the gym together.
I love, love the hair! Kelli, you are hilarious! (And I think you look great!!) I agree with you about the spin class. I'm not a fan...Try the eliptical - better than the bike and easier on the body then the treadmill. (Then find some way to distract yourself from the clock. Either a tv on something other than a sports channel or audio book on the i-pod.) Good luck!!!
Kelli, your new hair color is adorable! I'm sure you do not actually need to lose 20 lbs., but still-- good strategy! I'll have to remember that one!
I stalked and now I am commenting! You are a hilarious blogger! Lets go visit teach...I am feeling guilty!
My beautiful Kelli!
