first post

I hope I can keep this up! I very rarely keep up with posting things. This is my first day to get back on track. I used to be really fit and I would work out on a daily basis. I loved it. I loved weight training. I loved running. Then somewhere along the way, I got myself a desk job. That changed so much about me. I was eating terrible foods. I was also drinking too much coffee and going to happy hour too many times with my corworkers and friends. Then a year later, I was twenty pounds heavier. Then we had our first child. I actually lost the weight pretty quickly (not the extra twenty) but I did lose the baby weight. Then I returned to my desk job (post maternity leave). I immediately fell right back into my old habits and now I am forty five pounds up from my happy weight. I couldn't even believe the day I got on the scale and I was the same weight I was when I was pregnant. I am not sure what I need to do anymore! I keep trying to get back on track and it always seems impossible. I want to think of my daughter and how I would like her to know me as this healthy person who felt that fitness was important as well as healthy eating! Wish me luck, I have a long way to go!
