Welcome!!

Hi fellow bloggers.  I created this new blog in conjunction with my family blog to keep everyone (and most importantly, myself) up to date with my fitness journey.  I figured this would be the best way hold myself responsible for all the slip ups, ice cream trips and "oppsies" I make.  (....not that I make any.....)

First and foremost, a quite and brief summary.  One year ago (almost to the date actually!), I began a journey into the world be becoming fit.  I was tried to being a frumpy mom.  I was sick of not feeling like me!  I had no energy, my clothes didnt fit, everything I tried on looked funny.  I had turned into *gasp* a frumpy mommy!  YUCK!  So, I began kickboxing (you can read all about it on my family blog) which in turn changed my life.  I began researching nutrition, did a complete overhaul regarding my diet.  We took a family vow to be more active, more involved and overall, healthier.  A few months later I joined the gym with a friend and started to take some classes and workout there in conjunction with kickboxing.  By the summer, I was working out 5-6 days a week, I was down to an amazing weight/size.  I felt FANTASTIC!  Well...I got sick.  We went on vacation.  The weather turned cold.  I slacked.  And ohhhh slack did I ever!  I still worked out, and I still ate fairy healthy but I had started to let myself go.  This is where I looked in the mirror and said enough is enough.  It was time to take charge.

So, with the supprt of a friend (whos blog I will link here whenever she starts it :) ) I joined weight watchers, slowly started back on my healthy eating and got out of my rut and back into my fitness regime.  Again, Im starting to feel great!  My clothes are fitting better.  Im able to sleep a bit better (we will get there!), I have a ton more energy and I feel on my way to wonderful again.

So...this is where we are.  Approx. 15lbs away from my goal.  (or whatever my body allows).  Quite a few % away from my ideal body weight.  I have some clothes Id still love to fit into.  I need a smidge more energy and I want that WONDERFUL feeling again.

Ta-da.  This is where the blog comes in!!! :D  I will be posting daily (please dont hold me to it).  My meals (with points and any recipes I think should be shared) as well as my fitness for the day.  Pics will be posted that I take at the gym regarding my cardio.  I will manually write out anything else (reps on machines, classes, kickboxing and time alloted for the day etc).

Wish me luck!  I have 5-6 more months until bikini season HAHA!
