    My reflection says that I need to hit the elliptical!

    Every once in a while, I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and think in horror, "who is that?!"

    Has that ever happened to you? It happened to me today and it didn't feel very good.

    I get dolled up, do my hair, my make up, spritz myself with my favorite perfume, slip on a cute sun dress - I practically live in them - and heels and think I look pretty damn good...until I walk past a window, mirror or other reflective surface and realize that I don't quite look as fabulous as I feel on the inside.

    I wish I could say that I am carrying around a little extra baby weight.

    But my "baby" is almost fourteen years old.

    The sad reality is that I weigh two pounds more now than I did on the day I gave birth almost fourteen years ago.

    I have a bit of a belly. I have a little jiggle when I walk.

    And my behind?

    Oh boy...don't even get me started on my caboose.

    I see "Mommy Makeovers" on the news all the time because plastic surgery FL is really common. We have a ton of wonderful plastic surgeons that specialize in everything from breast lifts to hiney tucks!

    Sometimes I secretly wish I could justify one for myself. But honestly, I am this way not because I gave birth, but because I eat too much and exercise too little.

    I need to get back on track with my fitness and weight loss. I need to stop snacking late at night when I can't sleep...and that sweetened condensed milk I pour in my coffee every morning?

    Asta La Vista, baby. I'm about to start drinking a lot more water...
