Starting Over

So today I decided to go back to the gym for the first time in over a year and a half. I had planned on continuing to exercise throughout my pregnancy and afterwards but that didn't exactly turn out as I had planned. So here I am almost 11 months postpartum and 15 pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. I told myself I would lose the weight by my son's first birthday so I have a little over a month to kick my butt into gear. I know I won't lose the full 15 pounds but I am hoping to lose at least 10. I've been in a weight loss cycle for the past 6 years, always losing and then gaining the same 15 pounds over and over. I go on fitness kicks for a few months and then as soon as I miss a day or two at the gym I completely lose my routine and thus my motivation to continue. I also have a thyroid disease that adds so many complexities to my weight loss journey. Here is to hoping I can stick it out this time.

I weigh between 155-159 currently and would like to get back down to pre-pregnancy weight of 135-139.
