Hi,

My name is Danielle. I am a traveler, a French teacher, a wife, a trumpet player (currently mellophone with a drum corps), and a kid at heart. And I'm looking for some more MFP friends.

I started this fitness journey (in earnest) about three weeks ago. I still struggle (yesterday's food diary would definitely indicate this), but I'm determined to succeed! I've been doing Power 90 consistently. I often struggle with the motivation on Wednesdays (I have a late night every Tuesday because of a band I play trumpet in), but if I miss Wednesday, I always make up the workout on Thursday.

So far, results seem to be pretty good. I've lost about four pounds.Though that number has fluctuated a bit recently. I'm shooting for a lean 140 - 145. Ideally, I'd be at 130 - 135...but since I've been lifting three times per week, I'm building muscle and I know the scale might not reflect the overall change I've made.

Anyhoo, I'm looking for people who are reasonable in their approach - they are consistent and care about their results, but they don't beat themselves up with food guilt if they have a slip-up. I admit I struggle with food guilt. I know at times, it can be good and motivating, but at others it's a completely useless emotion.

I'm not looking for people who are hard-core about clean eating. I admit that sometimes I enjoy diet coke and splenda in my coffee and the occasional prepared frozen food item.

I also do not want people who have a disordered approach to weight management.

I look forward to talking to you folks and being encouraged!!!
