Hey y'all, here is a little info about me. My childhood ingrained a lot of insecurities and fears about body image and fitness in me, like a lot of people. (I am sure we will get into all of that in future posts.) Here are some basics, I am 5 foot 9, the heaviest I have ever been was 312 pounds, that was my last recorded weigh in while I was pregnant with my second child. I have battled depression since childhood, and believe me, it got WAAAAAY worse after my first child was born. I was never very active, I vividly remember being chastised as a little girl 'Ladies do not run!' As a teenager and pre-child adult I relied on caffeine and nicotine to keep me thin, sadly it worked. As a result, after my son was born (August 2008) I went back to my old habits, except this time...the weight stayed, and the hacking, coughing, smelly hair, late night fast food trips, and a few extra pounds came to the party too.
Now here I sit, twelve weeks after the birth of my perfect little girl, a breastfeeding, non-smoking, co sleeping, organic oatmeal bar making, and as of a few days ago...pro-exercising Mama. Because, yes, I would like to see my children graduate.
