Welcome

Well, you made it to the blog! Most likely I sent you a link or maybe you were just lucky enough to find me on your own. I wanted to share my thoughts and journey with some of the people in my life that I feel will keep me motivated and more importantly accountable!
So where to start...I think a year ago is the best place for me to start without writing a chapter book (that would be fun though). Most of you know that a year ago I up and quit my job of 11+ years...some of you know the reasons or at least partially. More or less I wanted a chance to spend some quality time with my daughter and learn a little bit about who I was and what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Did I figure that out? HELL NO...I have a toddler!
I left my job on a Friday and that very next Monday I drove over to the local Golds Gym and signed my life away...I'm not going to lie, I am NOT a gym person. Regardless I needed to start somewhere and this was my answer. I went back in the following Wednesday for my evaluation with a guy who I like to call Colt (I can't remember his real name but it was something unique and this reminds me of 3 Ninjas so I am going with it). I decided that since I couldn't tell you the difference between a lunge and a squat that I would sign up to have a personal trainer twice a week...this is serious business. This is when I was introduced to Megan (that is her real name, and she doesn't need a ninja name because she is just that awesome)...Megan put up stuck with me for the next several months while I developed a 'fondness' for fitness.
Going to the gym became part of our routine and I took it for granted. I had an opportunity to really kick butt, but mentally I wasn't quite there. I noticed the changes in my health and body though and by the end really began to LOVE my work outs.
Then an opportunity to rejoin the working world came up and it was something I REALLY wanted! I went from wearing yoga pants and sports bras to skirts and heels in the matter of a few weeks. The timing was perfect because Megan broke up with me received a promotion and was no longer able to kick my butt anymore, so here we are. I am back at work full-time and trying to remain motivated and healthy.
