Introduction

Well, I have never blogged before so anyone reading this will have to bare with me until I figure out exactly what I am trying to say (smile). I am a 25 year old mom of 2 great kids. My daughter is 3 and my son is 14 months. I am not overweight and the purpose of this blog is not for me to see how much weight I can drop, but to see how many inches I can lose. I started my workout and diet regiment (faithfully) on Tuesday, the 23rd. At that point in time my weight was 120.2 lbs and my measurements were as follows: Thickest park of my tummy - 32 1/2", Left Thigh - 21 3/8", Right Thigh - 21 3/4", Hips - 38". Now, some of you may be thinking to yourselves, "what is she complaining about? She barely weighs anything!" Please don't jump to conclusions and judge me for my opinion of myself. If I was being completely honest, I would tell you that, yes, I can look pretty great if I dress for my body type and don't try to fit into something that is too small. BUT, I have had two kids and anyone out there that has experienced pregnancy knows that your tummy muscles get pretty sloppy after #2. Also, I am only 5'3" and before I had my second baby, my thighs were about two inches smaller and so was my belly. So, as I stated before, this is not a journey for me to lose weight, but to tone up my problem areas (as listed above) so that I can feel great about the way I look. I am currently on a whole foods/mostly vegetarian diet, but I don't really keep track of how much I eat during the day. As long as its whole and not pure fat, its legal :) I also am going to be experimenting with various workouts and blogging how I think they were. I hope you enjoy this experience and comment as you try some things too!
