The beginning...

Ummmm....yeah, so I created this blog ages ago (a year ago??), in an effort to help myself lose weight. And then I never blogged about it. But I wish I did. When this blog was created I was bouncing between 145 to 150 lbs. Which was a lot for me. A LOT! When I met my husband in 2004 I weighed 117 lbs. My goal at that time was to actually gain wieght by adding muscle. I worked out but as the relationship progressed I worked out less and ate more. It's pretty common I believe. I did get over 127 by the time we married in 2005 but it wasn't weight from muscle gain. Then came the babies! After having our second child I stayed at about 160 for 7 months. Then I started walking regularly and for 2 months did the Jillian Michaels Shred DVD. It was great and I returned to work in June 2010 at 132 lbs! I was so happy! But with working full time, two youg kids and a teen, there was no time to be found to work out. So I gained 16 lbs in a year. Then in June 2011 I started working out three mornings a week doing weights with no cardio and no effort to manage a good diet. I went up and down a few pounds from June to Dec 2011 and that brought me to the creation of this blog....which I then ignored.
