Justin Timberlake playing in the background…….with less than a year to go, 40lbs, a stomach and some cellulite that I have to make disappear! I have some working-out to do. Hence my title, my mission Help! Mama Bring Sexy Back! Wait I forgot one major detail. My husband and I are planning to go on a cruise next year. My goal is to be able to wear a bikini or a cute swimming suit. No more post pregnancy, cover up everything that people should not see, swimming suit. So, I’m bringing sexy back…………
A few weeks ago I went over to an old friends house for her son’s birthday party. She began to tell me about some pictures she was looking through of us that were at least 18 years old. Not to mention she threaten that I’d have to pay her off if I ever decided to run for political office.(lol) I told her don’t worry I’d write my tell all book first. She pulled out the pics and one of the girls on the pic was HOT! I began to get a little envious. Being the mature woman I am…I decided not to get jealous but appreciate my beauty in my youth.
So, when my husband decided that we need to go on a cruise. I told him, “how about if I set a goal to be able to get in a bikini before we go?” He was game and I am too. It’s time to end some love affairs. Starbucks, Reese’s, Mc Donald’s Carmel Frappe (my new found love) & all those things that have been holding me back from fitting in a size 10. I guess that’s cool? I’d even go for a 12! I’m not trying to get skinny but fit. When I turn 40 in 2 years, my 40 will be the new 30.
Here is apart of my plan.
1. Walk 1 mile everyday around our neighborhood trail. (I started Saturday. WooHoo!)
2.Workout 30 minutes daily.
3.Eat healthier, only treat myself to a sweet every nooooow and thhhhen……(that was rough)
Many of you have taken on the task of healthier living and I thank you all for the motivation. This will truly be a journey for me because it’s so hard for me to stay consistent. If, any of you are taking part in any healthy living or weight loss, leave a comment. I’d like to hear about it and stop by and support you in your endeavor.

A cruise with the hubby sounds like a lot of fun!
I think I”ll join you on your quest to better health. I love walking, but it’s so darn hot around here. But enough with the excuses. It’s about time I make a change.

OK, so the 30 Day Shred is a Jillian Michaels DVD (she’s a trainer on Biggest Loser). You can get the DVD for, like, $10 at Target. You should check it out! A bunch of us Twitter tweeps and BlogFroggers are doing it as a group!

You have a sound plan. I had this wonderful fitness trainer back in Atlanta who said most people fail to maintain weight loss because they don’t set realistic goals. He was referring to crash diets and such. he taught me slow and steady wins the race. So that’s how I’ve been ever since.I eat right and exercise all week and allow myself a cheat day on Sat or Sun that way I don’t feel like I am denying myself some treats. I’ll be rooting for you!
