Restarting

So, I've dropped this page off in no-mans land a year and a half ago. In that time, I moved twice and had another beautiful girl. I've also become involved with a group of moms on Facebook for health/fitness motivation. In just over a week, I'll be starting a challenge on Bodybuilding.com. Do I think I'll win? Hahahahahahaha... no.  However, I am hoping this will be the jump-start I need to get me in a good place. Going from dance/gymnastics/cheerleading in high school, to doing nothing after, I've started feeling like crap. I look back at that 130 pound muscular girl and wondering what the HELL I was thinking that I was too fat. Oh man, what I would give to go back and tell myself to ROCK it, because I looked great. But all I can do it push myself for now and make each day the best.

I could hold myself accountable in my small groups, or on the forums, but I'm hoping that reviving this blog will not only help me with my health stuff, but everything else I deal with on a daily basis (between working full time, my two girls and their dad...come on now).

So, I'm going to start by posting my stats from the last 3 months:
