Well hello there, folks!

Hi! I've been tracking for 11 days now and I figure it's time to find myself some motivational people to share the adventure with.

I'm a 29 year old woman. I am an avid backpacker, camper and outdoorsie-type person. I race sailboats in the summer months and work out at the gym 3X a week. I love food and art and tattoos (I have 30+ hours of work) and anything awesome I can get myself into. I have a fantastic supportive boyfriend who thinks I'm hot just the way I am, so I'm truly doing this for myself.

Background time!...I was always on the bigger side until I was laid off from my job in 2008. It was the best and worst thing that ever happened to me. I was unemployed for 14 months, and with nothing to do and no job prospects in sight, I decided to join a gym and kick my *kitten*. It worked. YAY! I lost 40 lbs in 2009 and have since, for the most part, kept it off. From my heaviest point in college to where I am now, I've gone from a size 18-22 to a size 10. I'm kind of considering this the phase 2 of my getting fit. I took off a bunch of weight, now I want to take off a bit more and work on toning up. I hope to one day rock a bikini confidently.

I'm looking for some motivated people whose brains I can pick for exercise and food ideas, and just to generally interact with and share in the adventure that is getting fit.

My diary is open. Be my friends!
