I'm back.. for real this time.

So, the last time I blogged, it was August 2015.  I was unexpectedly pregnant, yet determined to get back into blogging regularly alongside the other Team Beachbody coaches I had signed on to my team.  Well, since then, a lot has changed (again!).

For varying reasons, I no longer have any coaches signed on to my team.  My time with Team Beachbody may have run its course, or I may yet begin to revive it.  That remains to be seen, but for the time being I am still a coach and still bring in a commission from any sales I make through my link. It's not going to be a huge factor in the overall sharing of my fitness journey at present, though.

Nearly 3 months ago, I gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Elanor Ann.  I gained around 30lbs during my pregnancy. I'm currently still about 20lbs above my pre-pregnancy weight, and about 30-40lbs above my 'ideal' weight range.  I've not been in a huge hurry to lose the weight though, as I've so far been successful with exclusively breastfeeding and haven't wanted to do anything to jeopardize my milk supply in the early days.

I'm thinking of starting to log my food intake on MyFitnessPal again, not only to help with weight loss efforts, but also to track down and eliminate the cause of little Elanor's gas and reflux issues. 

I plan to begin a 30-day challenge with my Fitness with Friends crew on Monday, April 11, as well as 'Mommy and Me' type yoga with my little lady.  I'd also like to squeeze in some time with the Wii Fit and other active Wii games for fun and fitness.

This year, I will ease back into running with no major goal in mind, other than rebuilding stamina and such.  In 2017, I will set myself another more ambitious running goal.  There will also be cameos from Les Mills Combat, Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper in the workout rotation as we progress through 2016.

I aim to publish a new blog post once a week to stay connected and on track to continue sharing my fitness journey with those who care to walk, run, and jog along with me to better health and fitter days! 

Stay tuned... and in the meantime, tell me, what are some of your fitness goals for the remainder of 2016?
