Hey all! My name is Ashley. I live in eastern Tennessee.
I've used MFP before, but I guess you could say that I've never really been serious about it before.
I'm trying to change all of that now! With some great friends and my super supportive husband, we have been hitting the gym 5 days a week. I'm trying to get our nutrition under control, but some days are definitely harder than others!
I work for a local law enforcement agency and I figured it's high time to get myself in shape again - both for myself and for others around me!
Anyways, that's just a little about me. Anybody that wants to be accountability partners or just wants someone to follow, hit me up. I think that having other people here on MFP will help me out!
Thanks for taking time to learn a little about me!

    Thank You so MUCH for what you do!!! Add me if you like, I do have an open diary and I do like for my friends to also share diary so we can share ideas. Motivation always needed!! I am trying to do a complete round of insanity. Started couple years ago but only made it 3 wks and pooped out. Proud to say I have just completed day 23!!! Motivation needed some days to just get it done!!!!

    @winddancinash good move! I started today and think a support system is one of the fundamental bases in doing anything really.

    Total accountability - go ash go!

    @sstrack123 thank YOU ma'am, you have no idea what your thanks means to me!!! And don't worry I will be adding you! I'm looking forward to following your journey with Insanity. My best friend LOVES that program but I'm a bit intimidated by it to say the least!

    @Chubby_to_Cut girl I agree 100%! A support system is so good for us! That's why I'm here - I can use the support and maybe I can help someone else by supporting them!

    Thanks for the friend request. Looking forward to supporting and motivating each other. Open to most all friend request but think about opening diaries if yours is not open because I am in desperate need of new meal ideas. Trying to become advanced meal prepper!! I hope to complete atleast one round of insanity. Planning to do lean body challenge that starts in January (I think). Looking for others to do it with!!

    Is my diary open for others to see? I am still trying to figure this app out. I love to meal prep it just takes me a full day to get my meals made and put together.
    What is the lean body challenge?

    @dragonfire12601 I'll add you!

    I've been in Law Enforcement for 18 years and between the hours, stress and eating on the go , its considered one of the most unhealthy careers you can have mentally and physically. So Congratulations on taking the bull by the horns with your health. I just returned to logging on MFP so if you'd like add me maybe with more friends and accountability I will stay focused and consistent.

    The more the merrier! Anyone that wants to add me please do! I enjoy seeing updates and talking with other people who want to get their fitness going!

    @ellybeann43 I've only been in about 3 years and I have noticed changes in myself mentally and physically. It's time to take control back and do this right! How can I serve others if I'm not taking care of myself.
