January 2012:
Wowwww....put on 9 pounds since August! All of the holiday eating/drinking and traveling I did added on some weight! I am trying to kick start everything with doing the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred in 30 days straight. I hope this will help me kick off this weight and tone up!
August 2011:
I hit my initial (pre-preggo) goal weight of 135 lbs and then pressed on to 132. I am now looking to shed another 5-10 lbs. I am done breastfeeding (as of 4 days ago) and am hoping this well help in my efforts. I am also trying to up the frequency of my workouts. Adjusting to a life being a mother of 2 so I am figuring out how to squeeze workouts in wherever!
