Officially my journey began in mid April (unofficially it's been on-going since college). I was about 6 weeks out from having second baby and I was ready to start moving again. Well, maybe not that ready but I knew it was something I *had* to do. I was heavy, but luckily I hadn't gained much weight with this pregnancy. I had been haphazard at best when it came to working out. The most dedicated I had been in the recent past had been when I trained for my half marathon in January of 2013, and even that was a training program that left much to be desired, but I finished the race and have the medal to prove it and I think I ran a decent time for a first one.

My husband suggested I try P90X3. It's only a half hour and there is a lot of variety in the workouts. 2 things that I need: variety and quick. I tried it and I loved it. I'm currently on day 43 of 90. I love it. Truthfully the weight is not falling off but the inches are and I can see muscles that haven't seen in a long time or that I've never seen.

I also decided I'm running another half marathon. I was supposed to run the Princess half at Disney World this year, but instead I had a baby. So I am running in 2015 and I have started training. And I think I am becoming a better runner. I can run for longer periods without getting winded and it feels good.
For the most part, I'm eating clean. I especially love the 2 week meal plans in Clean Eating magazine and I have been following them. I recently added Shakeology and I love it. It tastes good, fills me up and its helped with cravings, except I'm craving it now.
And something happened along the way, I went from thinking exercise and eating right was something I 'had' to do to something I wanted to to do, something I enjoyed. I feel better than I have in years, I have more confidence than I have had in a long time. My husband is really attracted to me again, I feel sexy, I feel powerful. I've reignited my love of nutrition and helping people, I want to help other people feel this good.
One journey leads to another.
