I'm Back!

Hey guys! My name is Allyson, and I'm back!
Last year, from July to December, I rocked out with MyFitnessPal and lost 65 pounds. I was thrilled with my results from healthy eating and a regular workout routine. In January, I received the most unexpected NSV ever - a positive pregnancy test (after previously being told I'd never have children unless I lost weight). My daughter came into my life on 9/12/12, and I couldn't be happier - except something is still missing.
THAT ORIGINAL WEIGHT LOSS GOAL. It hasn't been hit yet. I had 30 pounds to go before getting pregnant. Right now, I'm sitting with 40 pounds to goal.
I can do this. I did it before, I'll do it again. I'll quit eating the junk food, drinking the soda, and laying around. I will get up, get out to the gym and get back to doing daily workouts, and become the best role model I can for my daughter. She deserves it as much as I do - because when I'm at my best, I'm happy. When I'm happy, she senses it - and we're both better off when we're smiling.
Wish me luck! Add me as a friend if you're willing to provide much needed support to fuel my fire!
