I had gotten started during a deployment in 2008. We had a great gym overseas, and not much else to do during our down time. But then I came home and got pregnant. Even though I was NOT high risk, my doctor didn't want me to exercise to the point of my heart rate going over 130bpm....Needless to say, I ended up sitting around for most of my pregnancy and packed on some serious pounds.
Now I'm working on getting back into fighting shape!

Working out just feels good. it is MY time. I can clear my head, let out some stress. and of course I love to see improvements in my body.
