Busy single mom stopping to say hi!

Hey there! My name is Amanda and I have a 3 1/2 year old named Daphne. I work full-time and go to school (currently enrolled in 9 credit hours - might be taking a break next semester, though).

I've been doing a miserable job taking care of myself the past couple years, eating more unhealthy junk than I care to admit and overall not caring much about my body. It finally hit me when I stepped on the scale, after having some difficulty squeezing into my favorite pair of jeans, and saw 187lbs.

As you can imagine, I don't really have the time for making it to the gym or squeezing in many work-outs, but I have been counting my calories and trying to squeeze a workout or two in while I am at work, mostly walking around the halls or occasionally shutting my office door and doing some yoga or jumping jacks.

Anyway! Not sure what else to say, so.... Hi!
