Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
It took Michelangelo FOUR YEARS to chip away at this gigantic block of marble, and turn it into this gorgeous piece of work known to us as "David." Michelangelo created it in the image of what was to be the worlds most perfect man. If he would have rushed it, it wouldn't have turned out to be the wonder that it is today. If he would have tried to take too much off at one time, the entire sculpture would have cracked.
Making his masterpiece took time.

Very similarly, if you take off too much of yourself, you too will crack. Sculpting yourself, both inside and out, takes time. Making yourself your own masterpiece cannot happen overnight. It's tedious, and its constant work. It's hard and wonderful all rolled up into one. But it's worth it.
You only get one you. Make it a masterpiece.

I went on the SP program before getting pregnant and lost 70 lbs. and got within 10 pounds of my goal. Getting pregnant was a shock to my system, and I pretty much ate everything in sight for 9 months. Now I'm back to where I started! So here we go again - this time armed with even more knowledge than before! Gotta lose this baby weight!

My Program:
I've done this all before, and got within 10 lbs. of my goal weight, and then my husband and
I decided to get pregnant. We just had a beautiful baby boy and I'm ready to get back on track. I gained more weight than I wanted to while pregnant, but I am confident that I can (and will) do what it takes to get back down to my happy weight.
After seeing a nutritionist I am following a sort of neo-paleolithic diet. It is essentially the paleo diet minus all carbs (except for fruit after a high protein meal) and it has added dairy.
Personal Information:
I'm living in Omaha, Nebraska, and teaching middle school art. I love my job, I love my home, I love my pets (2 cats and a dog), and of course, I love my husband and my son, Max. I enjoy being outside, and eating out with friends, biking, swimming, and relaxing with my family.
Other Information:
I ran my first triathlon in August 2012 and I'm seriously addicted!
