Former Gym Junkie Looking for Buddies!

Hello! I'm Randi, 40, mom of 6, and before my youngest (who is 7 1/2 years old), I was a serious gym rat. A combination of a rough pregnancy and lots of major life changes (great for our family, but still very big adjustments) was where I developed a habit of turning to food for stress relief instead of the gym. I've packed on 80+ pounds over the years. Aside from pregnancy and the months after, I've never been overweight before. I am, unfortunately, obese according to the BMI. 
A few weeks ago a friend talked me into doing a Rugged Maniac mud run and obstacle course this spring. It's been the kick in the pants I've needed!
I would love to find some like-minded buddies! My first fitness love is lifting. I'm also doing C25k because of the mud run, but I'm not much of a race-type person. The gym is my place. My first priority is CICO, but I'm trying to eat healthy, whole foods with balanced macros 80-90% of the time. (Relearning all of this!)
My goal: fit and athletic. The final number on the scale isn't important. Final pant size isn't important. 18-20% Body fat is my ultimate goal.
Add me if you're interested, or comment here and I'll add you!

Welcome!
I'm a runner, and MFP helped me lose 70 pounds (and keep it off). You've got this.
