My name is Manda and I'm finally getting back to getting in shape after a 6 month hiatus from my gym. I'm pretty sure my trainer put out a missing person's report seeing as I went from going almost every day to none at all.
What happened? I let everything else get in the way and be an excuse not to go. It's not that I don't enjoy working out because I do, I just let myself think that even for a short time period that working out was the least important thing I had to do. Boy was I wrong! I had lost 20 of the 40 lbs I put on since I started being a stay at home mom and since I stopped going to the gym, I put half of what I lost back on. So it truly is like starting over for me.
My sister is also a member but I am looking forward to meeting new people and finding out what motivates them and keeps them going.
Take care everyone!

Thank you very much! I just got back from the gym and had a great workout. It's hard not jumping right back into what I love.0
