Back Again =)

lkelly

It totally just dawned on me that I haven't reintroduced myself after a very long period of MFP inactivity. Sorry!!

Anyway, I'm a 26 yr old mother of 2; an almost 3 year old son and a 1 year old daughter. I'm a certified trainer and fitness nutrition specialist, but I haven't always had the best of habits. I slip every so often, and I have to remind myself why I love living a fit and healthy lifestyle. Earlier this year I went through an oral surgery and lost about 10 lbs in 1 week. I kept it off for about 3 months, and then I let the stress of travel and home buying get the best of me. I'm fighting my way back, this time using science to guide me and my children to motivate me.
I'm not on a mission to lose those 10 lbs again, I'm on a mission to live my life the way that I want to and to set the best example that I can for my children, my friends, and my clients. I'm pretty much an open book (within reason ;-) ), and I love having people to cheer on and people to cheer me on.

I love seeing all of these motivated people, you all rock and I wish you all the best on your personal journeys!

Your story is alot like mine. I lost a good bit of weight quickly, saw progress, then started buying a home and my wife had a baby. I started slacking on recording and eating out alot and fell back into bad snacking habits. I gained all the weight back and even a little extra. Back on here tonight for the first time and going to start back.
