A New Year Resolution

Most of the time I am not big on New Year Resolutions other then becoming a better individually. (Mother, Wife, soon to be Teacher). Lately I have been becoming so unhappy with myself and I feel like I am drowning in the big mess I have created. I have been feeling aches and pains since I have had Rylee. My hips constantly hurt (Rylee would push them out of socket of place when I was pregnant, I was constantly getting them back in place and therapy to strengthen that muscle to keep them in place.) My knees are beginning to hurt they use to hurt all the time in when I was middle school but when I lost 30 pounds the pain went away. I guess I am better off than a lot of other people who are overweight, but I can't help but feel unhappy with myself and how I let myself get to this point. I use to love jogging, the step system (one of my favorites), yoga, and Pilates. 
I have been doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and I only lost a few pounds (disappointing), but the good thing is I have enjoyed her work out that I am gonna continue working out with her. I am also gonna add more exercises in such as yoga to help with my flexibility and pilates. I have a plan all set up for the Month of January. I do not want to do a long term resolution as I want to do it Month the Month. I do not want to set myself up for failure. I am also gonna do weekly weigh ins and bi weekly weight and body measurements. I am also going to do monthly body wraps to help release any toxins in my body and lose inches.

My goal is to lose up to 4 pounds in a Month.
My calorie intake is going to be 1200-1500 calories a day. 
I am also gonna try to burn 700-1000 calories a day. 
My goal is to have 500-600 calories remaining from the calories I took in that day. 

I have thought long and hard about my new goal and how I am going to accomplish it. Each day will consist of me working out 90 minutes to 2 hours. With a Saturday and Sunday off. (Those days I will be doing homework or studying for my upcoming certification.)
I am afraid of failing but I know that if I do this I will feel better about myself. My children will also be able to see a difference in me and me having this confidence will allow my children to develop confidence within themselves. I want to be a role model for them in the best ways possible. I want to make them proud. 

Start Weight: 162.8
Measurements:
Bust: 43 Waist: 37 Hip: 43 Lower Abs: 43.5


Here's to a fresh start, getting healthy, and being the best wife, individual, mother I can be.
What is your new year resolution?
