The first one...ever.

Hey (the 2 1/2 people who are going to read this)! I'm blogging....So...where does one begin?  I don't have a sob story or interesting life. I'm a pretty happy, down to earth, fun, Mom of 2 boys, one great hubs and the BEST friends a girl could ask for (not to mention me inlaw family is amazing) 

I am doing this so I can post shameless gym selfies....

Motivation....

Recipes and good "clean" food I'm learning to make....

And of course the occasional pic of the cutest boys ever. Ok, i'm bias. 

And to tell you all a little about my life...... :)

 I DO want to do this blog because since Jude was 6 weeks old (2 years ago) I have been trying hard with this whole "fitness" thing. I would say, it has stuck.  I work out consistently and I eat "clean" 80-85% of the time (its not going to ever be more than that...I am a working Mom of 2 who lives in America..just.not.going.to.happen). 

I've loved the fitness change, honestly. I feel good, I sleep well and I have a good amount of energy.  One thing that has been SERIOUSLY lacking is weight loss. I have lost, maybe 15lbs since having Jude. My body has changed a lot and my clothes fit way different, but that weight hasn't come off...and I know why.  After going to the doctor I realized my body, in 24 hours, at rest only burns 1490 calories.  That means, if I don't work out and I eat ANY amount over 1490 on any given day, I will gain weight.  1490 is a pretty strict diet. I have NOT been doing that. I have been eating clean but I have not been restricting my calories to lose weight consistently. 

SO. Here I am, today... ready to give this my ALL because giving it my 60-70% isn't cutting. I have AMAZING friends and family that I know will support me so this blog is for all that love me and my FB friends :)   I'm not super vain, I am OK with the way I look and happy with my life...I just honestly want to be the best me I can be.  Follow me on the journey!  :)
