I'm looking for some new support and challenges to get the results and energy I want.
:flowerforyou:

I'm 32, I have a wonderful husband and two great kids (Daughter 6 and Son 2). I've been working extra long with work and have been traveling for work too. So, while you would think summer would be great to lose weight I've managed to put on almost 15 pounds. I also had foot surgery in June and thankfully just got clearance to do all activities again.

I've always wanted to do a 5K, but need to learn to run first. I've always been a walker or exercise class person. I love yoga, walking and kickboxing however I don't usually have time to attend the classes that I have available to me.

My goals are to lose around 25 lbs and I really want to run a 5K this fall. On top of the weight loss I would like to get my energy back to keep up with my little ones.
