On Wednesday I went to a follow up with my dietician, and to be honest I think I am starting to get the big picture. I am ready to kick butt going into this weekend. I really want to get down, and I have been doing the hard work when it comes to exercise. I think where I have been slacking is diet. It is sooo easy to just grab a chocolate or a cracker on the way by the kitchen and think "oh this won't count".. which if it was one.. it probably wouldn't. Now mind you when you start making excuses to walk by the kitchen again to grab another.. that's where the problem is ;) 

I desparately want to be a good role model to my daughter. She is only 9.5 months old at this point, but when she gets older I don't want her to see me continously weighing myself.. or doing the next fad diet. I want her to see me eating clean, making great food choices, and exercising.. as a part of regular life.. not something that comes and goes. I think this is probably my biggest motivation to get myself together and get healthy. I need to make a banner in my mind that reads "This is for Kate!!!" so that when I'm lacking in motivation.. I can remember this is why I'm doing it.
