New month, new diet, new workout...

Since today is a Monday and it is June 1st i decided this weekend that it would be a good time to start my "healthier" self. I am desperate to get rid of this muffin top and get toned as well as lose some extra lbs! I can't bring myself to buy any new cute clothes until complete this challenge. That is part of my motivation!
I am starting the 30 day shred today by Jillian Michaels. I really hope it helps. Surely I can handle 20 minutes a day for the next month?
I have done good so far on the diet today, but it is still early! Since I am still breastfeeding, I haven't really worried much about how much I am eating, but i could definitely stand to eat a lot healthier! With Kyle being gone so much lately I have hit up the local fast food joints pretty regularly. I'm still not convinced that breastfeeding helps you lose your weight faster, but I also don't have anything to compare it to. "They" say to expect to take 9 months to lose the weight since it took 9 months to put it on, but for me, I gained all 28lbs in the last 3 months! So technically I should have them all gone by now! I only have 5lbs left, but I am trying not to be stuck on the numbers because I definitely still feel frumpy and mushy even though I am so close to my prepregnancy weight.
I need you all to keep me motivated and be accountable! I may even post a "before" and "after" picture although I shutter at the thought...
