The beginings of my journey...

My journey began in high school... overweight, depressed and no self confidence. Graduating high school at 160 pounds and leaving my self confidence somewhere along the road. I began the fad diet... low/ no carb and lost 30 lbs. Then just after turning 20 I became pregnant with baby #1 and gained 60+ pounds. I remember topping the scale at over 200 lbs and feeling miserable. It took me that following year to start to loose the weight. Just after the 2 year mark I began to feel good again. I hired a personal trainer and started to really get in shape.... at the gym that is, but my eating habits never changed. This made me "skinny fat." I then moved to Alaska and tipped the scale back and forth for over a year. Then came baby #2! A beautiful baby boy and this time 50 pounds! 6 months after my son was born we had our wedding planned and I needed to loose the weight fast! I choose fad diet "HCG" and lost 30 lbs before my big day! So still weighing 150-160 pounds and having little muscle I decided in 2011 to get back into the gym. I also decided to go back to the old habits and "fad diets" that got me back down to 140 pounds. Then over a six month period I gained 10 pounds and at that point it just didn't stop.I found out that I was pregnant again and began to fill my cravings! (FOOD CRAVINGS) After loosing the baby at 12 weeks I realized that I had gained another 10 pounds! 162 pounds and feeling FED UP with this battle! This is when I began my "get fit" addiction!

I am starting this blog to journal my progress. I am not a personal trainer (yet) or a nutritional advisor, just someone trying to get in shape!
