Quitting Chocolate

So, I'm new to all this blogging stuff, but a few friends have inspired me.  I've been on maternity leave for about a month now, and avoiding cleaning my house right now, haha.  So being on mat leave, I'm either watching cartoons with my 2 year old, or daytime tv when I'm feeding my 1 month old.  So if you don't already know, daytime tv sucks! I've watched a few weight loss shows and decided to get inspired.

So I jumped on the scale 2 days ago (1st time since having my new baby), and it read 187 lbs...yikes! then I took my measurements, bust 40", waist 41", hips 44".  Wow, you've got to be kidding me, my boobs are smaller than my waist?!? not cool.

I've been doing some research, and decided not to do any of those crazy "quick fix" diets, but to use the Canada food guide, and make a lifestyle change.  I've got a sweet tooth, and I'm sure a few goodies will sneak their way into my food choices.  Quitting chocolate will probably be my equivalent of quitting smoking!

My goal is to get to a healthy weight of 150 lbs in 6 months.  

Well here's wishing me luck!
