About Me

I'm a mother of 2 (daughter 3.5 yrs and son 17 months). I've been married to my fantastic husband for 5 years now and I love my life!

June 8th - Let the journey begin!

June 28th - Wow! I hit the 10lb mark!! Now I REALLY can't wait to cross the 200lb mark back into the 100's.

July 20th - Exactly 6 weeks into my new life and I've officially broken 200lbs... BACK IN THE 100'S BABY! YEAH!!

July 24th - 6 weeks and 3 days and I'm down TWENTY pounds. What a feeeelin'....

August 6th - 8.5 weeks now and I've hit the TWENTY FIVE pounds lost mark! Wow.. Only 8.2 lbs more until my half way point!!! YEAH!

Posted my first before pic. That was hard to do! This was a couple of years ago but still totally accurate. The one where I'm wearing the black tank top and holding my daughter. My first "after in progress" pic is my wearing purple pants & brown shirt holding my son. This is after 9 weeks and 25 lbs.

August 19th - weigh in at 189 lbs!!! Wow, I'm so excited to be back in the 180s! 10 weeks and 27lbs down and I'm feeling great.

August 24th - caught a motivating glimpse in the mirror at the gym today... my arms are getting buff! Ah how I've missed my muscular arms. So glad they're making a comeback!

August 27th - I've lost THIRTY POUNDS!!! Wow. :D

Why I Want To Get In Shape

Despite being a dancer since I was 3 and having been a competitive dancer at that, I've always been chubby. And I LOVE being active and playing sports, hiking, walking... In fact, I hold my certification in personal training! Before getting pregnant with my daughter 4.5 years ago I discovered a thyroid condition that doesn't HELP my weight issue, but in all honesty it's also about the food. On top of a super healthy diet I was also rewarding my sweet tooth during times of stress. I want to be a better role model for my children and I deserve a healthier body for myself too!!
