I’m going to do it!  NO more excuses, or half arsed efforts hehe.  What I’m referring to is (finally) achieving my fitness goal that I’v honestly had for ages!  I did reach my first one, which was to be at my pre-pregnancy weight, and I am under that in fact…BUT (there’s always a but) a lot of that is due to loss of lean muscle (because I couldn’t keep anything down for more than half my pregnancy).  I’m pretty comfortable with where I am, but I’ve always had the goal at the back of my mind to turn all my softness to firm muscle 🙂 I’m not talking ripped, or looking like I could beat my husband in an arm wrestling match haha.  but just to be firm, and have a little bit more definition.  And I think it’s important to have goals and to do something for yourself (whatever it may be) that will help you feel could about yourself, and enable you to be a better person.  I’ve always loved working out, yoga and eating healthy, but it was always to just MAINTAIN…and now I’m ready for something new.

So this time I’m giving myself I deadline, AND a reward (for incentive).  Starting Monday, I’ll have 12 weeks to get to the point I want, and then I will buy myself a new swimsuit 🙂 YAAAAY.  My inspiration came from a blogger favorite of mine The Freckled Fox, you should go check her out.  She’s a mom of FOUR and just lovely inside and out.

So anyway, I’ll be posting updates of my journey, PLUS workouts, recipes and any other tid bits I pick up along the way 😀

Thanks for reading everyone!
