My stuggles with weight loss after the birth of my son

This wasn't supposed to be as hard as it is...

It's been over five months since I began this blog. In all honesty, I thought I would be close to my goal weight at this point.

I'm not. I'm nowhere near 145 pounds. I'm still hovering around the 180 mark, and I hate it.

On a separate note, my body confidence is WAY up. I definitely feel thinner, even if the scale mocks me. And I've lost plenty of inches all over my body, and I'm stronger by far. My arms are getting toned and I'm getting more definition in my abs.

We are having an issue with LA Fitness -- they are unwilling to negotiate prices with our family, which has made my fiance a tad angry, since he's been a loyal gym-goer there for two years. So, he's considering cancelling his account and looking at 24 Hour Fitness. I'm just angry that I don't have my gym membership. The ONLY thing I asked for for Mother's Day and I still don't have it.

But, it's important to not get ripped off, so I can definitely be patient.

My new goal... it's tough to say. I still want to lose the extra 35 pounds, and I want to do it by the end of the year. That gives me a little less than six months, and if I can stick to a plan I know I'll get there.

That's all for now.
