Greetings from the soon to be frozen North!

I swear I have started and stopped this whole introducing yourself thing like 10 times! I am Lori from Minnesota; mom to 4 amazing children and just married to the love of my life in September. I was very active until March when I began suffering from plantar fasciitis and couldn't run. I became very depressed and distraught and turned to food for comfort which has always been my downfall. My husband is a fitness nut and lifts and runs marathons, which is what I aspire to be able to do as well. I have tried countless times and promised myself "This time I am serious, This time I will make these changes and stick to them" and then fallen off the wagon when things got stressful and out of my control. I would love to have a "friend" support network of people on this same journey who also struggle with the same types of pitfalls that I do who I can vent and reach out to. Feel free to add me as a friend.
I am a Registered Nurse and work full time with a really wacked out schedule. Some days I work at 6 am some days I work at 2pm and finding time to get a great workout in is my priority. I really don't do so well with at home programs because it is way too easy for me to quit and say "I have stuff I need to do around here". I belong to Planet Fitness and have been going regularly but focused more on cardio right now. My husband and I are going on our honeymoon to St. Lucia in January and I really want to be able to rock a bathing suit and not feel overly self conscious. Soon the weather will turn bitter cold here and heading out in that sucks, but having a community to be accountable to as well as myself is going to get me up and going!
Thanks in advance for adding me! I look forward to "meeting" everyone!
