Molly's opening statements

So here's the deal. Katie mentioned just having a baby and having to get baby weight off - well, although my baby did not come from within me, I am an emotional eater and obviously my emotions were at an all time high in the process of adopting our little Andie! Also, Katie casually mentioned my goal of June 17th because I'm going on a cruise. Let's just be honest - I'm going with my 10 (that is NOT a typo) sister-in-laws who are either a size 0-2-4- or gasp! A ghastly 6! We're going on an Alaskan cruise to go whale watching - must I even say it? I feel like the whale! SO, I am going to lose 10 lbs by June 17th. How am I going to do it? I'm actually breaking down and joining Weight Watchers. Also, I am going to the gym 5-6 days a week, lifting weights 3 times a week and cardio 5 times.

My next goal is 15 more pounds by the end of August. We are going to be taking a ton of pictures since that is when we are going to the temple with Andie. I know that we are going to be looking at those pictures for the rest of our lives and I just want to be able to look at them also instead of closing my eyes. I'm also getting together with my 3 best friends in August like we did last year and I didn't feel good in any of those pictures. This year, the camera will be coming out! These are my friends that I ran away with when we were 17. From Detroit to California. (FYI-best trip I have ever taken!) We have so many great pictures of that excursion but I would like to have follow-up pictures. One of my friends, Sabrina, you could blow on her and she would blow away. But my other two friends are struggling along with me. I really want to be a support system for them and visa versa.

I am recovering from stress-fractures in both of my hips (they have been damaged since last July due to fertility drugs) and a golf-ball size lump coming out of my breast (I wanted them to weigh the lump to know the positive of that surgery!) So I have had some setbacks BUT Molly is coming back baby! Watch out!
