Day 1 - Reboot

If you recall back in 2012, I started a journey. I decided to get my weight loss in gear and finally shed that baby weight from being pregnant with Jillian. I stumbled, I veered off the path, but I got things done. I had a successful year and was excited to see what else I could accomplish. 16 days later, I had a positive pregnancy test. I couldn't continue, but thought I would do a little more activity during my second pregnancy. That didn't happen.

Now, 8-1/2 months postpartum from my second child, I was tired of battling with the same 5 pounds. {I also had a mini-life crisis when my ex-boyfriend from high school, who was large* when we dated, is now showing off a skinny physique. That rocked my world a bit. *I'm talking easily 350 pounds or more.} I really didn't lose any weight naturally this time around, so I'm starting a little bit higher than I was expecting. However, I know it's now or never and I'm done making excuses. My postpartum depression is in check, and my life is in a good place right now. I'm ready to get going!

I'm doing a mixture of Herbalife, working out at home every morning with DVDs like this, and counting calories. It's something I know will work for where I am right now, and I'm hoping to get things moving again. Here goes nothing!
