So my Fitbit broke and I have struggled because that was a great gauge of progress. Thankfully it was under warranty and it is getting replaced! Hooray

    I'll be 40 in a month and just had my first child. I'm constantly fighting the battle between home, workout, & work. I'm here if you need support.

    Not yet 40 but is closing in lol! My youngest just turned 1 and I have a 3 year old also. Finding the balance with kids, home, job and yourself can be daunting. I work out as I can, I have Lupus so it can be a challenge sometime.Trying to lose the weight so I can keep up with the little balls if energy!

    Feel free to add me, I'm on daily :smile:

    Well got through the holiday. Now dealing with the leftovers. Sigh. I'm also waiting for an appointment with an endocrinologist as my PCP could not ID what was going on. I need the help. I need some help getting all these physical variables in place so that I can honor my body and move forward. I don't mind watching what I eat or working out. But when my body backlashes from a workout and I'm in extreme pain in key areas for 24 hours it's hard! I don't want to do damage to my body but I look at the body in the mirror and want to make changes. So I push and push and push. 20-25 minutes resistance and 50 minutes cardio EACH time. I just want to see some results. That's all. What's your plan?
