Yes, I am blogging!

Hi!  I would like to welcome you to my blog :)  First off, here are some ideas of who I am, along with what I am doing and why I want to write a blog.  My name is Nicole.  I am 26, married and have 2 kids.  I am a stay at home mom.  I am going to use this blog as a tool in my "get healthy" new years resolution! 

My family is very supportive in my new goals of getting healthy, but I feel as they get sick of listening to me rant about Jillian (30 day shred) or what kind of shake I'm having for breakfast (doing slimfast) so I decided that if I wrote out everything that I would be saying to them, I would feel great and I wouldn't have to annoy them :)  If they want to hear about it, they can read my blog. 

My family is planning a trip to Southern California in March.  My goal is be look good to go!  I started slim fast one week ago and today will by my 4th day of Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.  Im feeling great!  Here's my stats so far:

Starting weight 12/31: 158.1  Goal: 128
Height: 5'5"
Age 26
BMI: 26.3                            Goal 21.3

Im on my way there!  Week 1 weigh in this am was 154.9.  That's a loss of 3.2lbs my first week!!! I'm so excited about that!

Here are the ways that I'm going to achieve my goal:

1. Slim Fast 3.2.1 program
    3 snacks
    2 shakes
    1 500 calorie meal  
  Total 1200 calories/day

2. Jillian Michaels 30 day shred

3. Daily water intake of at least 40 oz.

I can do this, and this baby will get IT back!
