I've gone through a couple of phases, once in college, and once after having my first child, when I've been kind of a gym rat and in really good shape. Had a couple of rough years though, and wasn't very good at taking care of myself, and boy does it show! I tried the Body-for-Life challenge a couple of times but fell off the wagon. I now have a collection of "Before" pictures to show for it, but no "Afters". This is my year, though. I'm now obsessed with getting my body back. I want to finally post an awesome "After" picture that inspires others the way some have inspired me!

I feel so much more in control of not only my body but of my life in general when I'm in the gym and am consistent in my commitment to my goals!
