I just turned 30 last week and have two kiddos, a 2 year old daughter and an almost 9 month old son. I have been working on my current (and hopefully last) fitness/health journey for the last 5 weeks and I have lost around 14lbs with another 23 to go until my goal. I feel very dedicated this time and want this to be the last time I have to "start". My husband is doing this with me and we have decided to make this a lifestyle change.

I only have a couple of active MFP friends so I am just looking to make some other friends who are in a similar boat and active around here. I keep my diary open! Please feel free to add me. :)

    I honestly had to really force it in the beginning, but once I started seeing results and feeling better, the motivation came! I am fortunate enough that both of my kids nap at the same time in the afternoon so I usually do a workout then and sometimes I will do it when I first get up in the morning while my husband is still home. If I can't get it done during those times then sometimes I end up putting my little one in the pack n play with some toys and my 2 year old will try and workout with me, but usually gets bored and ends up doing something else.

    I also really enjoy wearing my little one in a baby carrier and we will all go for walks which is really great exercise! He's a chunk so it helps burn more calories lol. :)
