All right, I have to be realistic about this – there is no way this is happening any time soon so I’m taking it off the list. I am nine months pregnant with my second child and my husband is deployed to Iraq – I just can’t get out for a walk every day even if I want to. I am hoping that I can get out every few days after the baby is born – I got a double stroller and would like to take the kids out when I can, but I don’t need the guilt right now of seeing it on my list!!

So I’ve set a date – May 29 I will be six weeks post partum and will be rejoining Weight Watchers (having a scheduled c-section so I know when the baby will be here!). I want to lose the baby weight plus a whole lot more and look my best by the time DH returns from Iraq in the fall.
I lost about 30 lbs on WW before so I know it works for me, but I’m also getting a Wii Fit and will be going back to my Walk Away the Pounds dvds to help things along.
My husband was stationed at Fort Bliss in Texas before he left for Iraq so we went to visit him and took a side trip to New Mexico while we were there. Beautiful mountains, but not what I expected. We had a good time though.
So far I’ve been to:
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Maryland
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Pennsylvania
Texas
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
