About Me
I am a 26 year old who has battled with my weight since a shoulder injury prevented my childhood love for swimming. I yo-yoed for years, and after I married my husband I became "lazy" and "comfortable." So, needless to say, I gained a LOT of weight putting me at the most I've ever been. So, I decided that it was time to do something about it. I have been on mfp since November 2007, and have been successful in learning about my body and making healthy lifestyle changes. I recently had my first child, a beautiful baby girl, (on September 5th, 2009) and I gained much more throughout the pregnancy than I had planned. Needless to say, I now have a lot to lose again. But I am determined to get there! So...here I go!!!!!
Why I Want To Get In Shape
I want to be more healthy overall. I feel that I have struggled with my weight my entire life and would love to feel better about myself. After I got married, I wasn't worried about impressing people, so now it's all for me! And after having my daughter, I want to be an active mother and keep myself healthy. AND I really REALLY want to become certified so that I can teach fitness classes! So, these are just a few of the reasons that I would like to get in shape!
Goals:
--Return to my pre-pregnancy weight
--Exercise for an hour at least two days a week
--Do some ab work nightly (to tighten my belly)
--Work to get back into strength training
My Inspirations
- Being a role model to my beautiful daughter!
- Becoming certified to train fitness classes!
- Running a marathon!
- Inspiring those around me to live healthy and active life!

Congrats! What a wonderful time in your life! I am sure your husband and family can hardly contain themselves! My youngest had a due date of 09/15 and came on 09/05(c section babe). You must post tummy pics for us. I will be living vicariously through you for the next 8 mths!
