Taking ownership and control of my body back!

Hi everyone! I have been a member for a few weeks now, and I must say I love this program. A little bit about me, I am 27, married 6 years, have 2 kids, and used to dance on an intense Ballroom dance touring team for my university. I had my last child a little over 10 months ago, have started the weaning process, and am ready to kick up the weight loss up a notch! My nearest goal right now is to get in shape for our cruise coming up. Not that I don't want to work hard after too, but I am using it as a near-future goal to help me focus and get there. I have a ton of training in how to get and stay fit, as I graduated with a B.S. in movement studies, and fitness was a huge part of that. Having said that, I could probably be a trainer and do well, but I have a hard time making myself do what I know I need to. I need to find my inner motivation, as I have had people telling me what to do all through my dancing career. Those people are no longer in my life now. It's just me, my husband (who works long hours), and my children at home. No coach yelling at me, telling me what we are banned from eating until the big competition, holding long rehearsals of intense practice, making me get more than my daily needed exercise... now it's just me, the Wii, the Xbox, and a few home gym pieces of equipment... Time to get crackin'!
