Something Altogether New

People who really know me know that I've never been on a diet in my life. I've also never bought an exercise DVD.  I've always gotten all the fitness I needed from just being active for fun. In college I played Ultimate Frisbee (aka Frisbee football) and racquetball. After college I played racquetball and starting cycling. After I had kids, well, I chased kids and cycled. And that's kept me pretty fit.

The very first ISWUC team! We were called Woman Scorned. We had just enough players for one team with one sub (or no subs if someone couldn't be there). Those were some intense games and tournaments. I'm in the center left.

Until now.

Here's a timeline of me!

Back in 2004 right as I was about to finish up my undergrad work.(I promise I'm not naked here, lol!)

After college, about 5 months before I got married. (December 2007)

This is giant me after Katie (baby#1). I probably weight somewhere around 150. Yikes! (July 2009)

A little hike with little kids. I'm about 130 here. (Oct 2011)

OK, not the best picture. I'm all hunchy and pretending to let Ivy take a big bite of my burger (though she would LOVE to take a bite for real.). This was July 2013 at 150.

After the weight from baby #3, my body settled at its pre-first baby weight. 150 pounds. I couldn't seem to bust past that number until this week. I weighed in at 149 (big jump, I know). Maybe it's a sign that my body is finally ready to get over the hump.

This week, I'm starting a new exercise program that I actually bought. It's called Pretty Fierce Weight Loss from Moms Into Fitness. It's a 60-day program of short, focused workouts geared toward busy, post-baby bodies. I bought it, so now I have to do it. If you're interested, follow along on Fridays - starting this Friday - for the next two months to see my progress. I hope we're all surprised by the results (in a good way!).
