5 months to get sexy! (Now with even LESS awkwardness)

jonagolddreams

My name is Jonagolddreams, I am 31 years old, and I am a carboholic. My addiction to carbs has affected me in the following ways: my favorite jeans are a distant memory, I huff and puff like the Big Fat Wolf chasing after my children, and I have a strict "lights off" policy with my husband.

(Well. That's embarrassing. MFP cut my original post off at the most awkward part.. I promise I didn't come here to fill you all in on my embarrassing state of affairs in the bedroom.)

Enough is enough. My youngest child will be a year old soon, and the baby weight argument is wearing a little thin ( ) . My attractive, fit husband is deploying in a few months, and soon I will be left alone to waddle pitifully after our wild kids. I don't want his last impression of my body for the year to be "jello mold at midnight." I want to wear cute clothes again! I want to be able to keep up with the monkeys in my circus. Meaningful reasons be damned, I want to be the hot mom at school events instead of a hot mess! I want to rock my husband's world with the lights ON. I want to be able to hold it down at home instead of folding like a cheap suit the first time I feel overwhelmed. Physical strength and fitness is a big piece of that puzzle.

I feel like I will work harder with friends to motivate me. Unfortunately, as an overworked, underpaid SAHM with a school aged child and a baby, I don't often have time to socialize outside the home. The few friends I do have locally I don't feel close enough to ask help me find my sexy and bring it back. So if you're the friendly sort and don't mind checking in on me from time to time to make sure I'm not face down in a carrot cake, please feel free to add me. I'll do my best to stay active, too, and will ABSOLUTELY try not to post awkward, truncated versions of my original thoughts. I know my old body is in here somewhere, I just need a little help looking for it.
