How I got started...

I just gave birth to my 2nd baby boy earlier this year. I was never really into fitness until after I had him. I wanted to get back in shape yesterday! I did play soccer when I was younger, but I've never gotten into working out. I never looked into fitness and nutrition much at all. Now I'm realizing that I'm not getting any younger and my metabolism is going to start to slow one of these days if I don't start doing something about it. I'm getting past the age where I can eat whatever I want, not workout and still appear to be in great shape. I've had 2 babies now...it's time to start working on my body!

As soon as I got the okay from my doctor to start being active again, I immediately started doing research on fitness and eventually I put together my own workout routine. As of today, I am in my 9th straight week of working out. I am amazed that I am still going strong. A big resource for me has been Bodybuilding.com. They have so many articles related to fitness and nutrition, not to mention they are a huge superstore where you can purchase all kinds of fitness equipment and supplements.

I have managed to keep myself motivated for the past 9 weeks and I have started this blog to help others out with their fitness goals as well. :)
