My first post.

I've dabbled in blogs before, but always found myself dwelling only on the negative when I sat down to type. Let's hope that this tends to be a happier place than LiveJournal.

A big positive in my life is the fact that I've decided to take my fitness and health very serious. I have been going to the gym 4-6 times a week for a couple of months and have started to see real progress. In doing this, I have found real excitement in pushing my body. I'm no stranger to pushing the limits for myself and body, only I have never focused it in the shape of my body. Mainly, because I have never had to try to keep a decent body. I had always been a slim girl, but never really in shape. I am eating clean and taking supplements that are helping move along the process. I never was very good with patience.

The day that I gave birth I weighed 178lbs. I was 55 inches around at my navel, and wearing a size 10 pant. About eight weeks ago when I started going to the gym, my body fat was at 37%. After three weeks, I had already lost 10%. This has been no easy task! Last week, I asked a trainer to do my measurements so I can better track my improvements. They are as follows:

• Shoulders-
• Arms- 
• Waist-
• Hips-
• Thighs-

(I can't find my paper for the life of me, I'll have to post those later)

I've started to train for my first ever triathlon. It's a sprint distance, but it'll still be very difficult for me. It's 12.5 mile bike, .5 mile swim, and 3.5 mile run. I think that the running will be the hardest part.

That's enough blabber for now, not because I don't have more to say, but because I just looked at the time and I have to get ready to go to the gym! :)

Until next time!
